Alright, so I made a portrait but when I compiled it and put it in game, it just showed up as static. Any ideas?

What version number should I be using?

The one I posted above. Bottom of the list of it. You are probably using Bink video or so and you must use the old smacker tools, don't dare to ask me why. If it's not that it's probably a pallete issue that can be fixed really easily.

Alright, they're compiling now but there's a palette issue... anyone ever compiled a portrait successfully before?

I told you what I did. Make custom palletes our of the GRP you take them from if the unit pallete doesn't work. But since that didn't work I'd say use the icons pallete. Don't be lazy and try it :P

Be sure to use the smackerw.exe (or whatever it is called), and make sure the palette is from the input. Everything MUST be 8bpp and have the in-game palette. I've never had one fail... even the first time I tried it. :P
