Hi all

I have stepped back to HOI2 and Darkest Hour but had some issues when try to mod grafics in 8 bits. When I changeing map symbols they don't apear on map correctly. The file looks to be fine but its not, What is the tricks to get it eight? Any ideas.
The other problem I have is that I want to move the position on the oil drop shoving on unit palett, the drops shows if the unit is out of fuel or not.

Hope there are any smart guys that can help me whith this.

Cheers
 
Well, I'm a retard but check the wiki: https://hoi2.paradoxwikis.com/Modding_graphics and search the forums is the best advice I can offer. You won't be able to change interface picture string positions as they are hard coded. I've dabbled in graphics editing successfully with mtPaint for GNU/Linux which is better than GIMP due to simplisity. mtPaint features image resizing without 20 mouse swipes and button presses.
