Desciption on how to modify fsmlogo.wsp (The same procedure applies to other .wsp files aswell)

The fsmlogo.wsp holds 3 sprites.
These are the "logo" of the aitforce in the mission parameters screen.
They can be extracted to raw format using the dump_wsp utility.

The images are in format 60x60 raw format.

Note: the index is somewhat different here:
0 = US   1 = GE   2 = UK



For graphics I use PaintShop Pro 7.04

To load an image from RAW format:

When you load the image a window "RAW Options" will popup, asking for the format of the image.

Here you specify
----------------
Width: 60 Height: 60
Single channel (greyscale)
Interleaved
Order RGB

This will load an B&W image.


Then chooze "Colors" Load palette.
Select the screen.pal supplied in this package.
Be sure also to select "Maintain indexes"

Now you have the picture with the correct palette (The one from the screen the sprite is appearing in)

Modify picture

You can of course alter the palette during creation of your new picture but be sure to load the palette
before saving the image as RAW when finished.


Note color index 0 (0,0,0) black appears transparent on the screen.

Save as raw

Use command:
ptch_wsp fsmlogo.wsp <index number (0 = US   1 = GE   2 = UK)> picname.raw 60 60

put the fsmlogo.wsp in the Main EAW folder
