.Bin

[Trans_Am77]

i am trying to use bin edit but i can't get the background to show up. I have tryed what is says to do but it wont show me the background

You mean you have tried

extracting the .pcx files from the MPQ
converting them to .bmp
placing them into BinEdit's folder keeping the same path structure as inside the MPQ

and it still doesn't show up?

In that case, I can't help you, but I have a hunch that you forgot to convert them to .bmp

For that task, get Irfanview at http://www.irfanview.com/

yeah I converted it, but I used Paint Shop Pro........

Did you change the BMP to match the 256 colors on that specific screen?

[Trans_Am77]

Yeah it is converted to .bmp abd 256 colors

Does the .bin file need to be placed in the rez file?

I would think you would have to put it where ever you found the file.

I don't know how BIN files are related to PCX files... and what do you mean by "it wont show me the background"? Is there an error, or does it just display the usual background?

In the read me it says "To display the images in the dialog view, place them in the folder BinEdit.exe is in with the original path.The images must be converted to bitmaps(.bmp) to display them" Does it mean the background? Because that is what i am trying to display

[StealthyDeath]

I believe the readme is wrong. The only way to display images into the screen is by doing it in the .bin file. Where it says Label/Image is where I believe you have to place it. Ex. glue\campaign\pBotL.pcx in the box.
