Hello all. As is sometimes expected, my first post here is a pathetic whine for help. :( I've got a moderate amount of experience modding Yuri's Revenge, but have currently run into a problem which has handily stumped me, and negated my many attempts to remedy it. I recently recoloured a flag to use as a Ukrainian flag for my mod. The difficulty is getting XCC to compile it. All the images are uniform in both name (blank ####.pcx) and size of the picture. All are PCXs in 256 colours using the normal unittem pallete. I highlight them all in XCC and right click, choose convert to SHP(TS) and get an error message, that says the filenames are wrong (Error 1024 if I am not mistaken), using my last filename in the list. It seems that the program can convert single SHPs fine, but multiframe SHPs always give me an error. I tested to see if it was something I did by taking a SHP from the game, copying it out as PCXs using XCC and then trying to get XCC to put them back into SHP form. I got the error message again. I am at a loss, as this is the first SHP I ever tried to make, being more of a code monkey.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, if you have any advice, I would be most grateful. *bows*

is the first one Blank 0000 then the next one blank 0001?

you will always get an error with shps. check and see if the shp is made.

Just right click on image 0000.pcx and choose Copy as SHP(TS). Do not select all of them. It should compile, error free.

*head-desk* Thank you shadowfx78, Stalin and Fenring... It seems I always run into those little errors of logic that throw me. Fenring's suggestion did it. All I had to do was highlight the one, rather than all.

I had the same problem as you did so that's how I know.
