Hey y'all its me again. I have one queston here about oversized weapon-gfx problems. All my weapon-gfx for my halo mod which i am so desperate to finish then be done with are under 25 pixels in length and width. So why is soldat [:-censored]ing at me when I try to play online?

Kudos to those who can answer me.

The soldat weapon graphics file size limit is based on file size, not dimensions. I'll see if I can find the actual size limit. BTW: Halo has been done to death.

EDIT: Aha, 958 bytes.

byte =/= kilobyte

I'll put it into simpler terms for you: MAKE THE FILES SMALLER UNTIL THEY WORK

And "Well my version is teh bezter." is what they all say.

Yea, well I think mine was one of the first. And why haven't i seen any of the other many halo mods?

And is there a way I could make the files smaller without having to do it all by hand? Maybe like making the quality less or sumpin?

Yes, you HAVE TO DO IT BY HAND. Bitmap is a LOSSLESS FORMAT (although I duobt you know what that means) oh and btw:
