No need to have premade ones to test. Just need to mess with the existing ones. TGAs work fine. The problem is what happens when you load and save the original. Which should mean a file that already works and is known to work still works. However we know thats not the case. So we know the saving of the image is the problem.

Ok GFX2.

This runs our memory with these LBM files. It is a dos exe (Barocca is insane lol) after all and needs all the himem stuff id guess. It prefers to load files from its own directory to. Couldnt get it to load files else where.

Wellingtons program achieved slightly better results but still didnt fix our little problem.

Basically its a shareware windows program and a very nice one too. The game loads when the newly saved LBM files. The problem is it screws up the regions. You can see some regions change colour just like you do when you hold down shift. Unfortunately i wasnt holding down shift. It also prevents you from moving pieced about so we still have the same problem.

On the plus side it seems to do better than PSP did so perhaps a setting some place may make it work for us. This program has a lot of settings for iff/ibm files too so all hope is not lost yet.

I will keep experiementing with it for now.
