Devil in the Details

Details, details, details...
For instant, are you remembering to save it as .pbm? {It's a .bmp, just renamed..}
Or did you forget about the (c)Pixel ending? {Cave Editor can fix that, another reason I like it more then SW =D}
And, what error are you getting..?
Er, since we can't really read the errors, where are you getting it at? As soon as the game starts? When Quote first appears on the Title Screen?
Details!

Ok, I did save it as pbm and the (C)Pixel thing, like I said, I've done this before a little bit. It popps up as soon as I start the game. Doesn't make it past the "Loading" screen

Ah, I have this problem all the time whenever doing anything with the data files. What seems to fix it for me is to open the .EXE with Cave Editor, uncheck the removal of the (C)Pixel thing, and change the title of the game's name {Just as a space or something}, and Cave Editor should fix it for you! {To make sure it's working, the editor should "freeze" after you hit OK, that's it doing it's work}

At least, it does for me.... o.o;

or you can do the five second hack on the exe that makes it so you can edit it with any program, not just the crappy one ce provides.

I edit mostly with HEX editor. But now that I know CE comes with an OPTION to make it get rid of (C)Pixel, I may just use that. Every time I try to do in MANUALLY, it doesn't work...

Um, I use both Paint and PaintShopPro for my Data files; Cave Editor automatically fixes them for the EXE.
=P

EDIT:
In fact, both my Avatar and Sig are examples; both were made in paint {by me =D} and work fine in the game =D

try editing them and then starting without using ce first.
also, onematty, hack the EXE not the pbms, it's a permanent fix, not a temporary one.
