Ok what are the dimensions for maps and flags because i know you can not make it too big or it will crash the game. So what are the rules for making maps, flags and graves?

maps are 1920p*696p
flags are 20p*17p
and if you care, graves are 24p*32p

i'm sure that this is in the faq, or you could of downloaded a map and looked at the atributed of that file.....

Graves and flags have 256 colors, color maps must be saved as PNG using 64 different colors (or you'll get background errors), in which the black pixels (RGB 0 0 0) are considered as transparent), .bit maps are 2 colors, but you all know that. ;)

You can use bitmonkey, it's available here in the programs section.

You can save PNG as that, but if that doesn't work (since it's never worked for me), just save it as bmp in the import folder and save it as png later.

I use Paint shop pro to save my pngs, you can set the exact number of colors in it when exporting to png, set or not transparency, etc
But color maps are not using the transparency provided by the png format, they use the rgb 000.

It's in the PNG optimizer, you can choose that.

I have PSP8. Also, for fireworks, when you use the export option, can you just choose png 64, for this to work with WA as well?
