What's the art.ini code of your secret service and what's the name of your shp (TS) file?

There is no problem with this SHP file, except that you've used unittem.pal as the palette for it, instead of the RA2 cameo.pal.

The code is correct.

But when I convert it to cameo.pal It goes all funny. it makes yuri prime look like shiva from final fantasy 10

That's because you need to use the colour replacement -> palette conversion, instead of simply loading the cameo.pal.

The program does not do any miracle, but the result should be better than that, although it's better to convert your original image straight to the cameo.pal.

Have you ever seen the colour replacement feature? Go there and select palette conversion.

It is correct if you want to import an image as cameo.

If you wanna convert a palette to another, you'll need the colour replacement -> palette conversion.

The colour replacement is the button between the building effects and the square.

Look at your palette. You are trying to view the cat with unittem.pal.

Anyway, I'll check if the program updates the palette after the palette conversion.

and will the update make it easier,,, im a noob ya see.

n00b = annoying, arrogant fool... <insert some insults here>

newbie = new into something, willing to learn.

You are a newbie. And if you wanna learn how to use a tool, feel free to explore it. Take the initiative. If you need to know any information about the program, read the Help file included with it.

Honestly, I don't want to explain the whole program for you in a forum.

So basically I should just explore?, good idea. i'l probibly learn from the start again... thnx for helping Very Happy
