O.k I finally got the image extractor to work.

Now, I'm using GIMP to edit a Fel Kodo Beast skin. And I was wondering, is there a way to get the 'Select hand-drawn regions' tool to automatically select a part of the skin? Because I'm terrible at outlining the parts I want to edit via freehand. :(

You can make 2 duplicated layers. Then skin the layer whats above. Then erase the outlined skin and the layer, what is below, is shown. So you have perfectly coloured skins.

I will post advanced GIMP tutorial right after I go home(about 2-3 days).:)

I downloaded VB2005, GIMP, image extracter, GTK, and the Visual Basic DLL files,(VB Dll files when extracted extract so quickly i cannot tell where they go, nor does it give me an option where to extract them) and i copyed the files from my war3 file. I still get the same error, what else besides that do I need. . .?

i did some research on mscomctl.ocx and it came up this:

http://support.microsoft.com/dllhelp/?dlltype=file&pid=1248&S=1&l=55&alpha=mscomctl.ocx
http://support.microsoft.com/dllhelp/default.aspx?l=55&fid=172371

First one is a list of mscomctl.ocx and not many different things, next one is a program i chose at beginning of list :)


Those are all the programs that "mscomctl.ocx come with, could someone please tell me which of those I need? Please...


Edit*** Actually mscomctl.ocx is a file that was lost because I reformatted my computer to put a newer version of windows on it, this should be posted in your guide.

That fixed the problem ;)

I have a teeny bit of a problem with the Viewer. Instead of showing the skin in the corner, it shows a fuzzy grey/black/white grid, with part of the image spread out over the back, all in black/white.

I downloaded and installed all the files, including the library ones and stuff, what's wrong?

I know what you're talking about. Here's a link to the file. You may have to sign up, though. Link


I'm totally new to GIMP. How do I save it as uncompressed?

Well when I click "Save" it does just that. I don't see that menu. When I click "Save As", I still don't see it. Am I going crazy?
