When I've got the tile I want out of any TR game (4 - 5) and save it, it gets saved as a bitamp paint image, so I load it from the program what my level editor loads textures off save it, so it's now a texture tile in that program but I cant load it i the level editor?

What can I do to fix it???

When I say I can't load it, it dosn't show up in the load window at all.

Hi Randy_Rye:

If you've 'ripped' the texture and edited it then it needs to be saved in a format that the TRLEditor can open.

The normal format is TGA, but PCX is also supported.

However if you have an individual tile you need to use Texture Edit to add it to a tile set or you'll only have the 1 texture to work with.

I hope I've understood the question - if not please repost and explain and I'll help some more.

It only gives me the option to save it as bmp, and do I save it as 16 bit, 24 bit or 8 bit?

You can't make textures using MS Paint. You need a better paint program.

My level editor loads thm off this scanner sort of program, but I have opened the bmp image in that and saved it as the program so it should load but it dosn't even show up in the load window.
