More like what is wrong with my pcx. I'm trying to make a stage and I have made some junky private ones and I think I got the coding down the problem is with my pcx's.

I can't see my image in the background.


I up loaded one to my site http://shamrockworld.net/box_widget.html. It's under file PCX and the file is a.pcx.

What is happening is that the image will not show up. Other PCX images have no problem so it's not my code or anything. I converted this image from a 24bit bmp into a pcx. I have a feeling that is where the problem is. Please check it out for me and please explain what is wrong and maybe how I can fix it.

Thank you very much.

Uh...hmm.

Mugen only accepts 8-bit (256 color) pcx files.

So, you need to reduce colors.

See other posts on ways to get around color loss.

Also, the original image looked like a jpeg.  Don't covert jpegs to pcx for mugen since the compression artifact will look terrible.

Thanks for the help. I don't know a lot about pcx and I didn't know that it saved anything higher than 8 bit. So now I do, thanks again.
