    Invisible Start Orb


    My little cousin wanted me to make him a start orb, after he saw me making my own. Everything was good, until I finished it and tried it out. It appeared invisible! I tried other orbs, and they worked fine. Even the one i made before worked. I'm extremely confused, if someone can help and tell me the problem, that would mean a lot to me.



    I use Gimp, if that helps any.

    I found a solution -- I'll resurrect this thread to share...

    When using Gimp to create Start Orbs and other BMP resource files for Windows 7 do the following:

    1) Click "Export..."
    2) Expand "Compatibility Options"
    3) Check "Do not write color space information"
    4) Click "Export"

    Done!
