RA2 Buildings - Aviation Research : File Coversion

Lots of things to keep in mind when converting.

Palette

Firstly: All files must be in 256 colour PCX format. (Paint Shop Pro can save in this format)

For buildings you will need to use the unittemp.pal file.

Too keep things simple and safe, I use the following convention:

shortname ####.pcx
e.g:
mkv_avir 0000.pcx
mkv_avir 0001.pcx

mkv_avirmk 0000.pcx
mkv_avirmk 0001.pcx
etc.

A shortname, a single space, followed by a four digit frame number (starting at 0000) suffixed with '.pcx', the PCX file extention.

This will allow XCC Utilities to properly read and convert your images.

This excellent set of programs can be downloaded from http://xccu.sourceforge.net/
