couldn't read .pcx error

Hello mapping types

Am attempting to compile a landscape map made from easygen but get the error message:
couldn’t read .pcx

I get the same when I try an older map that worked before

any ideas?

Hey mapping type! Did you put the pcx in the etmain folder (was it etmain? think so :slight_smile: )? If so, maybe deleting it and creating a new one in Easygen helps?

I had an old map that I wanted to work some more on, but it turned out that I did not take care of the old .pcx file (which resides in the etmain folder and is only required at compile time, really. You can make a new .pcx file by creating another landscape in easygen and just rename the new .pcx file you’ll get when you save that map. Still, the layout/colour scheme may not look good on the old map, which was the case in my case. Now I’m considering whether I wanna remake the whole map or not…
