I've started to make my custom H.U.D. I can't seem to get my reticle to work. I am following Mithos' tut in the resources on GBX.

I recompile my bitmaps and it says "Can't extract sprites without a valid plate" and if I don't modify my bitmaps it says "non-bitmap compressed with greater than DXT1."

This also happened with my shield bar, and I can't seem to get it to work... HALP..

Your source bitmap needs a 1 px PURE blue border around it.

Pure blue... is that R0.G0.B255? I'll try that, thanks CAD.

Does it have to be EXACTLY 1 px? Or can it be bigger?

I personally use 2px, but yeah, any thickness will do.

Alright, that worked, I always had the blue border, it just wasn't solid blue. Thanks CAD. +rep when I can.
