Need help with LGR Development

The ReadMe is a bit confusing to me. After I have changed the pictures with Adobe Photoshop, what do I do next?

Run make_lgr.exe

If you made extra pics, you must add them to pictures.lst.

If the colors look awful when you test the LGR, you need to run the
mergepic.exe first. It will merge all the images into one image so you can "synchronise" the colors. Check it in PS, and when you are satisifed, save the big image and run apartpic to break it up into the small pics again. Then run make_lgr.exe again.

Hope this helps

I still can't get to work. Here's what I'm doing:
I open one of the picture files and change to how I want it. Do I have to do something with the PCX file?

Also, I was only changing the driver. Is it different for that? I didn't find them in the picture list so I added this:

Q1BODY pict 500 u
Q1FORARM pict 500 u
Q1LEG pict 500 u
Q1THIGH pict 500 u
Q1UP_ARM pict 500 u

It's the PCX files that ends up in the LGR. Make sure that there's not too many colors in the pic when you're done with it.

You don't have to add the bike pictures to the pictures.lst

Give more detailed info about the problem, we can't help much with "I still can't get to work"

What happens when u run the makelgr.exe ?

all those pics which you can edit, are named in the listfile. If you, for the obscure reason want to make other filenames for these, be sure to replace them with the old ones, not add them. Btw, I don't really think those other filenames really work. I am also not sure if those names are listed in the list, because the properties for the bike and stuff are set in the game. Now I recall, there are no listings of the bike, grass, and apple pictures yes. Just edit those pics in the folder, and don't do crazy rename stuff, because then it will indeed not work. For other optional pictures, there's no such problem, there you have to add those to the list, and you can make up own names for that.

So, does every picture have to have the same indexed color palette or
can i use different colorpalettes that are indexed 8bit color palettes.

The same.
