Hi guys I am trying to get into making games for openbor i figured I would start on modding someone else's game first to get a hang of things. I have gotten the script editing kind of figured out and same with the audio but I cant figure out the sprite editing side of things. All i want to do is give a character a haircut but every time I edit the gif and I repack it the game stops loading and just quits if I put the unedited gif back and repack it it works fine. I have tried doing a search to see if I can find a tutorial but I haven't had any luck i have also tried paint, gimp and photo shop with the same results. Am I saving the images wrong? Wrong resolution? wrong color pallet? Any help would be greatly appreciated sorry if this has been covered was not able to find anything thx in advance for any help guys.

Did you add more colors to the pallete.. When you add more colors to the gif it could mess with the pal which results in the crash.. If you put different colors on one sprite and not another and it's not on the gif's pallete it could result in this.. Also you could have saved the picture in the wrong file format hope this helps.

I don't know which program you use (I personally use GIMP) but try to load some sprite from original game (it should import color palette) and then try to put sprites of character or entities that you want to edit to new picture using color palette from original sprite. It works for me but not always gives good effects.
