Wow. Those are freakin sweet!
OLD SIG
When history witnesses a great change Razgriz reveals itself,
first as a dark demon. As a demon it uses it power to rain death upon the land,
and then it dies. However after a period of slumber Razgriz returns
As the demon sleeps, man turns on man.
Its own blood, and madness soon cover the earth.
From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz.
Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light.
Amidst the eternal waves of time
From a ripple of change shall the storm rise
Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath
The demon soars through the dark skies
Fear and Death trail its shadow beneath
Until Men united wield a hallowed sabre
In Final Reckoning, the beast is slain.

Now comes the scary part...converting them into SHPs. Hopefully it won't compromise the quality of the images. If it works out not only will there be new countries out but new loading screens.

Okay, now if you'll back at the weather map you'll see that we don't have one. Try to picture last night's map in your mind, picture all of the little lines and rivers.
The temperature at the airport is 88 degrees which is stupid cause I don't know anyone who lives at the airport.
Tonights forecast: dark. Continued dark tonight until turning to partially light in the morning.

I thought about that but think of the country image (planet) box? It would just be a plain, boring circle...kinda boring. Personally I thought about adding the Ice Caps, Greenland, Romania and the Falkands as possible Yuri Countries.
Lets think of planet Earth and keep to that.

Heres a standard yuri loading with moon. 
This is used for YRA atm, but that might change, anyhow use it and pay the price of creditting me. To 'install' just place in mix and it will override normal loading screen.

I thought it was supposed to be converted to PCX then to SHP format? Might explain why the first SHP I made looked so whacky.
This might be longer then I expected...

Yah, in XCC Mixer find your load screen in PNG then copy as pal and shp, but make sure PNG is in 256 colours.

Just make the image 8 bit (256 colors) and copy the palette..
That palette should be used for the loading screen..
EDIT: awesome work BTW

Why is it that anytime I attempt to convert the file PNG to a SHP, XCC gives me the file failed, error 1026: Bad size. All images should have the same size.
And yes, I have converted the PNG previously to 256 colors under IrfanView.
Is there something I am missing here? PSD > PNG > PNG (256) > SHP/PAL.
I have no problem making .PAL files
>>>> UPDATE <<<<<
I am not sure if anyone caught this or maybe I didn't catch it but apparently you cannot convert a PNG into a SHP if it is in folder that currently holds other image files. The PNG has to be kept in a seperate folder in order to make a successful conversion...geez.

What version of XCC are you using.. the older ones are usually better for RA2 conversions..
