    I'm doing ok with my buildings, but I have some small black specks. It's as though the transparency isn't correct in places. I've checked them over with readbif 23c once the bif is made but the transparancy seems to be correct in those areas where the black specks appear. I've resolved it on one icon by colouring the specks with a foreground colour. I'm using PSP v5.0 to edit the files and saving them as .png then saving them as bmps using irfanview. If I save as .bmp in PSP the pallettes get mucked up. This seems a bit long winded. I don't have any other paint program so i'm not sure what else to do.

    Yeah, I get those damned specks to. I resolved it with PSP by getting the Icon on one layer and a screen shot on the other. Change th opacity and do exactly what you've done, put a foreground colour over the black specks. It's probably something to do with Readbif when it converts files.

    I actually just use MSPaint, as it is simple and the process being simple all it needs is MSPaint. I also have UP (its in the Shareware and Freeware Thread), because it can save files as TGAs and LBMs.

    BTW, where did you get 23c from I couldn't find it.

    I find that with readbif 23c the bif file gets saved as the name i enter instead of being saved over the bmp file.
