Where are the images stored for these pictures? The main screen and the smaller missions below.
Can we edit and replace those yet?
I have a feeling they were in one of the Dat files but i'm out of touch lol Thanks

Brilliant thanks!
Is there limits on which size and colour palettes etc can be used on these?
For example does it have to be 510x260 the same as the original image.

I tried a really fast and dirty test and it went wrong so probably yes lol
Sorry for the questions but your work is brilliant for this project :)

I worked it out. I wasn't changing format numbers.
This is a crap test but it's awesome this can be done!

Any tips you can share GT?
Is there any of the programs right now that can save the opt viewer to a PNG?

Yours look great.
