I was editing graphics from Cave Story Plus, trying to more or less make a mod of it. And I after editing ItemImage.bmp the items don't display correctly. And I tried naming it as itemimage.png and rename it to the .bmp file but that kept the game from loading. Does anyone know how I could fix this? (In-Game most of the items show as mostly blue instead of the normal colors)

- Don't save it to any other filetype and then back a ".bmp". Keep it at either ".bmp" or ".pbm"

- If you are using MS Paint, then it's going to automatically screw with your colors. Use something else (like "Paint.net", or I think "GIMP" might work).

It must be .bmp format, not a png file renamed as .bmp. If you edited it in MS Paint and have introduced new colours then you can always save as a 24-bit bitmap, because MS Paint has a tendency to butcher palettes. And lets be honest, you should be working with a mod folder, not modding the main game folder as a matter of practice. Last of all you need to make backups before doing anything. There is no magic reset button.

If you could send me a copy of the modified file ( my email addy is realmmaster26@hotmail.com ) and let me know what program you used to edit it I could give you and idea on where you went wrong rather than guess at what the problem is.

I actually did make backups of the files luckily, and I guess I'll try using GIMP.

If you ever forget to make backups, verify the game cache within Steam

I actually just downloaded it from some random YouTube link. And it just happened to work perfectly.
