I opened paint for two diffrent units(ghost,wraith)dragged a box around the ghost and cut it,then pasted it on the wraith paint.I placed the ghost in the middle of the wraith so it looked like the ghost had wings.I compiled it to a grp and when i played the unit i created was invisible.I tried redoing it many times but i cant seem to fix it.What do i do or what step am I missing,I need helpsmilie.gif

How invisible, like, not shown at all? Or cloaked?

I suppose that you want the image you made to be shown when you build a ghost. Were you sure to combine the new images into the ghost .GRP not the Wraith?

I will tell you what i did because im not so sure what your asking(sorry)I opened paint for the ghost,then paint for the wraith.I drew the box around the ghost,cut it,and then pasted in the middle of the wraith.I canceled the saved changes for the ghost in paint,but for the wraith i save the changes.I compile to grp(phoenix.grp)and started the mod up.when i played the mod i built the ghost and it looked the same.When i built the wraith it was invisible(not cloaked)and when i finally selected it all you were able to see when the wraith moved was the thruster.

Well im stuck i did the same combo of units,except i saved it to the ghost .ral.Now sprite happens to the ghost,its a shadow that no unit can kill.It can kill units but the thing that i think can kill it is a nuke^^.

hey u guys .... Which GRP tool do u guys use ?
Retro? or GRPeditor in SDraft ?
Hoenstly, i didn't close look u guys duologue
however, i can tell u guys some advise to get custom grp
first, make sure match that ur images to SC palette
and check colour's value of each painted pixels by comparing with SC palette
if there is pixels which used with special colours or terrain colours in the 256 indexed palette
then ur images will be comes weird in game

and if u guys couldnt compile grp as correctly like as crashing in retro or pixel and ratio problem in game
then try get it Shadow Flare's GRP converter, that is most less-bug tool to compiling GRP in my experience
but its may makes u confused a bit in the usage when u decompile to bmp throgh there
however it does work fairly without bug in most processing

It's not so much that i have the a problem with the pallete.Or the 256 color pixels.When i put the ghost on the wraith(made it look like the ghost had wings)i compiled it,and the unit came out invisible.If i can make the unit look like how i made it ill be happy^^.Thats basically what im asking is how do i get the wraith to not come out invisible.

K guys,Its still not compiling what i want.Its been a week lol.I need "special help" "herrrrm" "cough" Cough" "LOL shout.gif " "cough"
