SM,
I have never understood this, and it's becoming an issue in my work.

In the wiki, in many places, you have lines like this:

unpack them with ./procidx1.pl campmap.idx and you have BIG_MAP_ID.tga file, replace this korean tga with your own BIG_MAP_ID.tga you created a minute ago. run the next script like:

./irc2res1.pl campmap.irc
note the .IRC end, it should now say:

./irc2res1.pl campmap.irc
Add BIG_MAP_ID.tga as ID BIG_MAP_ID
Converted palette now is 256

I don't understand what you're talking about here. Where do you type "./irc2res1.pl..." etc.? What program am I supposed to be running that reads that line?

You need to run the perl add-on found at: http://www.perl.org/get.html

Install that, then run the perl scripts you can download here: http://www.pmctactical.org/f4/downloads ... cripts.rar

Search on "perl script" here at PMC to learn more about what the scripts do

Good point, there needs to be specific page to teach how to run perl scripts in linux and windows. I just that on my TODO list. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thank you gentlemen.

SM, I have a project that might interest you. More later.

Guys, I can't figure this out at all.

I downloaded Strawberry perl, installed to C:\strawberry

I can run it and get a command prompt to my documents folder.

I downloaded the terrainscripts.

I copied the Tga2res.pl script to strawberry folder, to my docs folder, and to my downloads folder. I can't figure out how to get this thing to work.

I created a new 224x86 16 bit .tga picture for a campaign select picture (CAMP_SELECT_1). I want to try to get this into my Panama UI but I just can't figure out the steps to get this program to do what I want it to do.

Thanks for any help you can provide. This is completely new to me.

Toonces,
I've never tried the Strawberry version; don't know if it will work or not. I've only done it with Activeperl. They have a free community version here: http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads

In windows using active perl I run the perl scripts like this:
I'll write a basic script usage wiki page as soon as I have some time.
