I am getting so aggravated with trying to create a bitmap that will work in halo.
is there no editing program that will allow you to edit the bitmap after it has been compiled with tool. Or is there a certain program that will allow you to create a tif image that tool will compile without complaining about its structure and format. Note: i have seen the programs that allow you to inject dds files into halo maps but i want to create my own that i can use before i create the map. |

Make sure it's a .tiff and the bitmap must be a power of 2 size.
32x32 64x64 128x128 256x256 512x512 1024x1024 etc Programs that can save in .tiff: Paint Photoshop Jasc Paint Shop Gimp (free) Paint.net (I think) (free) |

Yeah it can be .tif or .tiff it doesn't matter. The most important thing is to make it a power of two. Also, sprites don't need to be power of 2, but I doubt you are going to be making those anytime soon so don't worry about that.
