Custom BG's in 3.01!

[RaiderX]

The original custom BG way! You've probably noticed the 01-12.bmp, well, heres what's up with that: http://lan.st/showthread.php?p=768#post768

Well, you can do this the easy way, or the hard way. (The hard way isnt even hard at all.)

If you want to take the easy route:

Instructions for the Merger:
- Place the BMP Merger.bat in the same folder as the 01.bmp 02.bmp 03.bmp 04.bmp 05.bmp 06.bmp 07.bmp 08.bmp 09.bmp 10.bmp 11.bmp and 12.bmp
- Run BMP Merger.bat
- You will now have a 01-12.bmp, put it in ms0:\dh\301\f0\vsh\resource\01-12.bmp and overwright the old one

If you want to learn, and do it manually:
- Download a hex editor, there's plenty of free ones out there for every operating system.
- Open a new file in the hex editor
- Open the images you want to use (01.bmp 02.bmp 03.bmp 04.bmp 05.bmp 06.bmp 07.bmp 08.bmp 09.bmp 10.bmp 11.bmp 12.bmp)
- Select the entire code for 01.bmp (Ctrl + A in windows should select all)
- Copy it and paste it into the new blank file
- Now you can close 01.bmp and go to 02.bmp
- Copy all the code for 02.bmp and paste all tis code right after the code you pasted for 01.bmp, dont put any space or anything between them, jus thte image right after the last one.
- Repeat the steps for all the images and save as "01-12.bmp"
- Check the file size should be 72.3kb (74,112bytes)
- Copy it to ms0:\dh\301\f0\vsh\resource\01-12.bmp and overwrite the old one
- Load devhook and see if it worked
- Enjoy!

You could use these methods. Or you could just use my background maker. http://www.geocities.com/ddrdude1234/bgmaker.html Very easy to use.

Hi, I made a 01-12.bmp but lost the originals
How can I break the 01-12.bmp back to twelve bitmaps?

So:
01-12.bmp ---> 01.bmp, 02.bmp, ...., 11.bmp, 12.bmp

I attached the 01-12.bmp file i made, I hope you like it

I am having problems with this program. I created 01.bmp - 12.bmp, they were all 60x34 and 24bit, but when I used BMP Merger and put them on my PSP, only 01.bmp worked, all the rest were just white. What have I done wrong? This also happened when I used hex to make 01-12.bmp! What is happening?
