Problem with Visitor 3

"Error loading (pathname)\sat_lco.png"

I get that when trying to import the satellite pic. At first I had the same thing with maplegend.png but rechecked my paths and found an error. No error with sat though. What might be the problem?

Check if it is saved in 8Bit RGB Colors and not interlaced.

It's in 24 bit. How do I change that in L3dt? Also, how do I check if it's interlaced or not?

Well i dont know where you can change the export format options in l3dt.

Never needed it since its always in 8bit RGB when i export. (I looked in the options, but did not find anything in my short overview)

I would suggest you download GIMP (its free) and open the satmap with it.

Im pretty sure you can change the color palette there with a few clicks and then save as non-interlaced.

Anyone else care to assist?

He's right, GIMP can process png with a simple check box for interlacing (leave it UNchecked of course, when resaving the image).

24bit is *fine*. "8bit RGB" means 8 bits for each color, ®ed, (G)reen and (B)lue, 8+8+8=24bit. Be *sure* you only save it in "P:/(namespace)/(map folder)/Source/"

There are no options for PNG in L3DT, at least none that are accessible from the Export dialog. It should automatically save a PNG as 24bit, non-interlaced, and exporting directly as "sat_lco.png" should be very V3 friendly. What's the resolution? Did you resize it outside of L3DT?

It's 1920by1920. No, I did not resize it.
