Yeah SCI viewer won't convert - it won't even recognise the file.

When I open in companion viewer it works, however the colours are all wrong.



This is the original:

Sweet! Found them.

Next question, how do I save a pic in SCI studio so I can show it on your site etc?

This appears to be true. I used the SCI viewer to look at the original files for TCB and the rooms are empty as. Really interesting to see how they were created, though!

The only problem is - where is the files for the furniture and added bits? I looked at the view files and couldnt seem to locate them. LOL

Thanks for tips! 

I am trying to create pics like those used for the Colonel's Bequest. I've been researching some of the design stages and a lot of the interior rooms contain no furniture in the early development, then later they are filled with furniture. So it confused me a little.

Yeah I followed that...but the pics I am trying to create are way more complicated.

A couple of questions:

1) When drawing in SCI studio, can you erase lines? Or do they need to be done correct the first time?

2) How do you work out size vs. ego size? Any particular hints here that I don't make doors bigger than ego?

3) Is there any hints on how to make the image centre of screen or preview a full screen version of your background?

4) If you paint, say a interior room, then decide you want a table in the room, can you just draw over the existing pic or does that just add additional resources to the pic?

Thanks in advance

What file do you need the tracing image saved as?

Hi! I am new to SCI and I want to start making my own game. I am totally new.

I've seen references to 'tracing'. I assume this is drawing the image and then using SCI over the top of the image. Is this correct?

Does anyone have any screen shots of how they trace or how to do it SCI?

Thanks!
