How Do I Create an Image for a Doga Part?

[CadetNewb]

How do I create an 'image' for a Doga Part I downloaded from https://stararmy.com/roleplay/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=558 ?

Oh; is there a 'tentacle part' somewhere in this parts folder guys? I've been looking for one...

EDIT: Edited into question form.

Re: DOGA Help

The way to get a picture would be to load each part and save a picture of it in the same folder with the part's name as the filename.

There are tentacle parts in the "assorted" folder I believe, if you're using the same downloaded parts I am.

I've been trying this out with a single part called 'an01' in the 'an' folder. Currently, there's the an01 which is a SUF file, and then there's the an01 bitmap file. When using Doga, and going to the 'Add Part from file(s)' it still does not display the image of an01.

Obviously, I'm still doing this wrong. Can you give an example of how you did it with a part?

I haven't tried it. I believe the image needs to be a BMP with the proper dimensions. Use the existing parts' pictures for reference.

Well, I've figured it out with your help. For anyone else interested, I'll explain it a bit.

What you have to do is open up the part without an image, and render it with 128 by 96 pixels. Make sure it's a bitmap. Give it the same exact name as the imageless part, adding on '.suf.BMP' and put it in the file along with the item in question. That should do the trick.
