Custom icons/bitmaps
 
Hi everybody.

I've got a specialized question... I use Adobe Photoshop for my work with pictures and I havn't figured out how to save a image so I can import it into zMUD... I've read the help-file and all that, but I can't seem to save in the right way as zMUD complains that the image is in the wrong format.
I know that the image should have this and that format, but I can't make it work... I use Adobe Photosop 7.0 (if thats important...)

Thanks in advance
Drool

The image for your characters should be icon (.ico) files. The images in a button should bitmaps (.bmp) files. I don't have Photoshop in this computer right now, but I don't think Photoshop is able to create icon files, but i can create bitmap files. However, there are free programs out there that will convert a bitmap to an icon, you just need to create a 32 by 32 pixel bitmap in 256 colors.

Thanks... It worked great with the Button-images. Now all I have to do is to get me a icon-creator (preferably free) to test the icons in the character selection window.
