Tried my hand at it recently, only to find that the convert of the bmp fails.

Used the ancient tribes tools(makeskin, also visual skin tools) if that helps. No error, it goes about like it worked, but didn't.

?

what does "it didn't work" mean, exactly?

You know how after a bmp->pbmp conversion the new bmp won't open in anything? Well, this must not do the conversion, because the "new" bmp can be opened as normal.

Hrm. Try LabRat's TribesTools (http://www.team5150.com/~fsb-spy/Content/Tribes/Skinning/Weapons/TribesTools.gif).

Have you tried actually .vol-ing the file up and testing it ingame?
I've found that XP's default picture viewer can open extracted pbmp's, even though they look all funky. Test it out to make sure. :)

You don't have to vol it up to test it...

Huh?
Just name it after the original and drop it into your Tribes\base\skins folder.
