Trying to change vehicle graphic...

[Bil H]

... in TSATC... and am having a problem.

I used the excellent TilePiece utility to create my piece graphic properly rotated and saved it to an indexed 8 bit color BMP (is index color even necessary?) in the data folder.

I then opened the TSATC database.. went to vehicles, copy, etc.. as outlined in the online manual... but when I go to find the new graphic to replace the current artwork (very well done Curt, just not what I want :devious: ) and I cannot see my vehicle graphic, or the turret graphic I created with it.

Curt, anybody? Help! :nuts:

I assume you are changing the graphic to a top-down, rotated view?

You will need to get into the database, add the graphic as a piece, and then change the vehicle to reference the new piece.

This page shows creating the piece:

And this page shows specifying a piece for a vehicle

Thanks Pat, I had missed the add a piece part.
