I have the same problem that Lord of the Rings Junkie.

When I extract the images they don't have their alpha channel anymore. I can't seem to restore it in an image editor either, since some areas are surrounded by strange colored patches. For instance, view 'apt_InGameRadialMenuStage_1.tga' in Final Big with alpha blending turned off in the viewer.

Only the palantir pictures except for apt_Palantir_1.tga have an alpha channel.

Ohhhh i have fixed it - sorry for the spammage of comments - but i think people might want to know this, i have found the ap images need to be in this directory art>textures - exactly like that, when i use compiled textures it does not recognise them, and when i put them in an ap folder it does not recognise them, it sort of makes sense because if you look at the file location within the apt.big files thats how their laid out, not with compiled textures.

So as my other images work, im using the -mod command, i therefore have to have the compiledtextures with all my other files, then another folder next to it called 'textures' - its annoying using the assetdat creator because you have to rename the textures somethign else whilst the compiled becomes named textures and has all the apt images directly in compiledtextures aswell... and then rename them back once its done - does that make sense?? i hope that will help someone as it seems odd to me but this is how i got it to work

are you sure that's where they are supposed to be? what is the location of the textures in the original .big files?

ok i have an actual problem now :D -

i have extracted all of the apts, and changed them all, and put them with the rest of my compiled textures, but in the ap folder - but for some reason it seems my asset.dat is not reading them

my asset dat always works fine i know how to use it, but i think its just not reading the files - they are in .tga format (i've tried btmaps) - i think the assets not reading them because a lot of those files were over a megabyte and when i made new asset it barely added a few kb to the assetdat file.. - any ideas??

you say "thats it for editing the colour scheme" but i have edited all the files above mentioned but that hasnt changed all the colours of the buttons and stuff, one pic from the apt images has made all the scroll buttons and drop down menus turn a different colour as i wanted, but the main buttons when loaded are not...isnt there any coding involved?

i might have made a mistake...but i have double checked and my shell menu has the new background and stuff, but the big major buttons like skirmish etc. still that horrid green colour (i using bfme2)
