Hey everyone1 I am new to this forum, and to UnrealEd. Before I even started doing anything with it I fell in love with it, that is untill I got to the 2d shape editor. I was following a tutorial online that required me to load a picture to the editor so that I could outline the shape. It didn't work, the file was not there, so I looked at a tutorial on this site: http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/wiki/Making_A_2D_Shape
This tutorial says to export it, so I did, then save it as Type > all file types. My editor only gives me the option of saving it as DDS. I went ahead anyway and saved the file with a name floor2b.bmp. This put put the texture in the selectable files in the openfromdisk box, but when I tried to open it an error popped up saying "error loading bitmap."
So I went to another tutorial. This one said to find the texture in paint and open it then save it as a bitmap. I tried to open the texture in paint and the program gave me this error: "Paint cannot read this file."
"It is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported."
At this point I screamed out and smacked my head against the computer. Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong? Am I looking in the wrong place for the texture?
Thanks
