I found out that if you load a corrupt image in the custom character option, then the map editor locks at the white screen permanently. for atleast longer than 20 minutes, which is what I've waited for.
The image is infact corrupt as i've looked at it in the thumbnails option in Windows Explorer and it has no preview, nor does it display the file size like pictures near it.
Just wanted to bring tihs to whoever's attention since I'm jsut a bit annoyed right now... about ten minutes of work on a map, gone. Sadly forgot to save :D
Can you please post the image here as an attachment?
10 minutes of work? Word.
Here you go. Chars1.png. Thoguh to note, i would like to have it so then if the editor can't load an image for say... two times the usual time, or like 5 minutes, then It'll jsut give up on doing so. It doesn't and instead hangs, possibly for an indefinite period or something jsut really too long.
Ultimately jsut wanted to bring it up/to the attention of anyone who can possibly help. I didn't make it myself, jsut got a picture from a topc about custom character images. :D
That isn't a png, it's a psd file. Change the extension to psd and you can open it in photoshop (or gimp probably) then save as a png. I've attached the actual png version of the file here.
I have searched all over for the original file here. Can you please link me to the thread/topic where you downloaded that "corrupted" file from? I'll edit the topic and replace it with the "good" image Virgil provided here.
