HELP!!!

I was trying to follow the "how to paint guide" to create a nice skin, and got as far as pasting on top of the us2freight6 targa file, and renaming the targa file, but when I go to make an ace file, it keeps saying "file too big, maximum size 512X512 or something", no matter If I try to convert the image as a .bmp or a .tga file.

What am I doing wrong? How do I make sure my image is ready for conversion?

Your help is appreciated - I'm THIS close to creating a couple of really nice boxcars for everyone....

So, what size is your file before you try and make an ace?

Also, what type of file is it? targa or what?


I kno PaintShop Pro can resize files and save in targa or bmp.

512x512 is the max size allowed, if you would read your TechDocs on Disk 1 it explains this. Also textures have to be a power of 2
x2. 2x2 4x4 8x8 16x16 32x32 64x64 128x128 256x256 512x512.
