Why does Eschaton always say "File too large to inject" when I try to inject a .dds file?

It does that. Don't say inject as new bitmap data. >_<

I'm looking into it, but in general when it says that a file is too large to inject it probably means that when it read the data in the file it determined that there was more in the dds file than was space in the bitmaps.map slot allocated for that bitmap.

An EOF feature would be wonderful. New sizes would also be great. But you would have to make the bitmap ether the same size on each side, or one side twice as big.

Inject as new is featurewise identical to EOF. It just uses conures code for updating the bitmaps.map internal structure (yes there is one OMG). Getting into custom sizing is a headache I'd rather not think about right now.

If you have an edited .dds that won't inject that is the same number of bytes as the extracted one from Eschaton (get info) then please pass it along so I can actually look into way it won't inject.

Well then, I'll have to make a plug-in to let me edit the dimensions. :P

What's wrong with just importing as a .jpg etc?

They're really big (compared to .dds) and their quality isn't as good >_>

Use lossless formats like TIFF or PNG instead.
