Awesome Mac !!
I enjoyed reading your micro AAR on the Spartans .
Im amazed at your brisk pace re: tackling the Scyths & as you know I'm itching to play your latest creation !
Keep up the great work Mac .

Ok , of topic ......
Re; those bifs I have been photoshop'n.
I decided to try out a partially done bif on my pc , to see if my work in progress looks good on the battlefield .
I have been following these instructions below , which you wrote many years ago .
I use Photoshop 7 & readbif 0.1.0.2 ( purpleshogun)
I extracted all 12 as bmp , opened in PS7 saved colour table , added boots , 1 bif modded .
I used readbbif & imported all 12 & created the new bif .
but !! ............ when I re-open to view it , its got purple haze all over it ?
check out pics below ....

To double check , I extracted all 12 frames ... did nothing to them & created a new bif using those 12 & same thing ... purple haze
I'm hoping im doing something basic wrong ..... I do get an error on the readbif & am wondering about the colour palette ?
( I save , but I have no instructions on how to re-include it)
I am willing to put in all the hours required to mod this figure & then the Slinger we use .....
Any help appreaciated , for the betterment of our existing troops & creation of new ones !!
cheers
