Hello, i made my own custom portrait but it doesnt work. Here's what i did:

I converted firebats portrait to bmps, and edited them with photoshop. Then converted them back to smks. (i used RADtools) when i open the smks the animations are ok, but when put them in my mod, there's no portrait (see atachment)

Maybe anyone knows whats the problem? Maybe i have to change some settigns in RAD video tools when converting?..

What palette is used for your modified portrait? SC can accept only 256-color palettes if memory serves me well...
