Injecting is for .dds files (I tried injecting a jpg just to test it and it told me it wasn't a valid file); is that all it can do?
Then use HMT, use the button right under preview when you choose a bitmap.

or change it to .dds

.dds is just a container format and some people don't have much use for things like the squish converter nor know enough about image files to know what format to change the image to.

I see no reason why it should not recognize your image files. Sometimes RB screws up so I'd quit the program and try again. What might also help would be making sure that they have the dot suffixes for their file format.

EDIT: ghosts, do you have the image you imported because all I'm getting is a pure black image.

Ahhh... if you're using a .dds, then I can foresee problems.

I'm thinking the .dds wasn't encoded correctly. Have you tried importing the image?

if importing isnt injecting? no

It is not. Import is a different dialog that performs the same function as inject in HMT (not to be confused with inject texture). It loads jpg, png and other images and imports them.

Eschaton 0.6 is still better than 0.7 though (until you add meta editing and a dependency swapper.)

Yea, cause this is only a demo. and it only does bitmap related things... so no shit.

Thats like saying "The old version is better than the new version because the new version isnt finished."

that is why I said "until"

So you're saying "The old version will be better than the new version until the new version is finished."

Something like that. Don't worry about it, it's not very important. Can we move on to a new subject? This conversation is stupid and pointless.

no, I would trade Eschaton 0.6 for HMT 0.75 any day as long as a had 0.7's bitmap importing ability.
