With TIE Fighter Workshop, you are able to specify a custom Battle Bitmap that is displayed on the tour of duty screen.
Creating a custom battle bitmap for TIE Fighter Collector's CD-ROM
The battle bitmap must be an image that is 91x75 pixels in size. The bitmap must also use the tourdesk palette, which will limit the available colors.
Step by Step in GIMP
- Install GIMP.
- Create a new image of size 91x75.
- Open the Palette by going to the Windows menu, choosing Dockable Dialogs, and then choosing Palettes.
- Right click inside the Palettes window and select Import Palette.
- Choose a Palette file, select tourdesk.gpl, and import.
- Create the Battle Bitmap you want to use!
- When you are finished, change the image to use Indexed color mode.
- Choose "Use custom palette" and select tourdesk.gpl. Make sure the "Removed unused and duplicate colors from colormap" is NOT checked and click Convert. You image should update to only use colors in the tourdesk palette.
- Open the File menu and select "Export As..."
- Name the file, being sure to add the suffix *.BMP* so it saves as a bitmap, and click "Export".
- In the "Export Image as BMP" dialog that appears, expand the Compatability Options, check the "Do not write color space information" box, and then choose "Export".
