Do you have your Loader800.tif screen in Media/GUI/Art? Does your replacement Loader800.tif display and then freeze the game or does it not appear at all?

yes I do have it there but when i go to the mission screen to choose a mission or to the training Screen it puts up a outline in the center of that screen and locks up the computer. jsut the out line though no picture is shown other then the original.
if I change the name it does nto show and have no problem with the game...

Try an alternate Loader800.tif file just to get more info on the problem and see if it's your file (stranger things have happened). I have a set (320, 512, 640, and 800) on my site under GUI Modifications. If you try this, don't unzip the file to your FS directory or you'll get my other picture replacements. Unzip it to a temporary directory and pluck out the Loader800.tif. Come to think of it, pluck out all four. Who knows, maybe you need all four there even though you're only using the 800 one (again, stranger things have happened)? I'm afraid I'm clutching at straws here. This is a problem for more technically knowledgable folks! Sorry.

well yours worked when I placed them all there. not then I put that one in and renamed it to 320,512,640 & 800 and it just got all out of focus.
what should i do it try to change it. I would really like this Tif to work.

Any luck with that file? I renamed the one I did get from the address you gave me from TIFF to ZIP, but it came up as empty. If you're using Photoshop 5, I can send you my template if you'd like. It has the clipboard, but you can drop in any image you like behind it.

hey starfire

..sorry for beeing late!
Ok what I've done are just 'loader800.tiff' files, that means that the resolution for them would be at 800x600. Now what you need to do is:
1. download the loader you like from my site
2. unzip it
3. open it into paintshop (or the like)
4. change the resolution to whatever you like 320/512/640(see post from 3dp)
5. save with a new name (...loader320.tiff, loader512.tiff, loader640.tiff
..and voilą this should work now!

cheers
