You used the TS cameo.pal, duh. You must set a RA2 buttonization with forcing the created in a new window in Cameo Generator if you use random nonRA2 cameo.pals before it.

I'd appreciate you not to comment anymore on posts I make, you seem to think a newbie should know it all, especially when the Cameo tutorial did NOT mention that.

If you'd notice that there is an "Optimize for" in the first page of Import which if set to RA2 cameos, sets canvas size and palette automatically to properly import the cameo into the SHP Builder, you wouldn't even have such an issue.

Regardless, if you would have actually thought about a bit and compared two cameos to figure it out, you could even have answered te question on your own. Just as a newbie would do instead of being lazy and not trying to realize the mistake without help.

I actually fixed my mistake before you chimed in, but adding "duh." to everything isn't being a critic, it's being impolite, I can take criticism quite well but not if the criticism was done the "wrong way" rather than assume "Common knowledge is common" rather assume your form of it isn't common, after all, if everyone's from was common, there would never be an issue on anything now would there?

Where should I know if you actually have the mind to figure out things on your own when you raise a question on such basic level and meanwhile necroposting in another thread at the same time?

I might be impolite... but to me these seems as moves of a casual noob. Besides, there are at least plenty other cameo tuts which said the cameo pal conversion.

I just don't see a reason to justify your moves, but if there is a valid one, enlighten my blindness.

EDIT: Oh, now I see. You were also the one who couldn't found Resize in SHP Builder. I now see your issue with me... yea, I might be clumsy, but I'm just tired when I see people who can't use their brain. That's all.

If you check my first post, you might even realize the difference between us. I might demand the same-or-close-around-that level from the other newbies to earn my trust. Otherwise, yea, you get this. It is also a way to force you to learn a bit.

If you were more polite, I'd be willing to accept your points, but being a Grammar Nazi(not saying you were, but acting like you're perfect) and also, I posted a request on how to make a new nation, and actually, I stated I'd get to it at a later time.


your post in "Why is this SHP so big?" didn't come off as rude too much to me, but posting "duh" in the tutorial requests and here(both literally as I made the requests) came off as rude.

and since you seem to be the only one replying, how do I fix the UI name?

As for necroing, well, I thought something was corrupt/files didn't get updated for SHP builder, so I kinda posted there asking why is was broken, but turned out I needed to urn it as administrator.

While I do use duhs... the first duh aimed to you was given today. In fact in the tuts reply of yours, I just linked the relative tuts without any actual additional thought on my own.

To fix the UIName, you have to edit the CSFs. (see http://modenc.renegadeprojects.com/CSF ) Or use Ares's NOSTR function. (in that case, see http://ares-developers.github.com/Ares-docs/new/stringtableenhancements.html about the feature and http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31256 about the how-to launch Ares at all).
