Ok, what am I doing wrong?
 

I downloaded the giant 1600x1200 res hp bar by Jerrith, and used that as a template to create my own alternate HP bar. I made my own TGA file called Newbar.tga and replaced the text referring to Jergauge1048x128.tga. I changed every instance of Jer_Gauge to Newbar_ and set the size and location coordinates for each part.

No matter what I do I keep getting this in the UIerrors.txt:

Somehow I managed to fuge it up even worse. Now the game crashes before it can even generate a UIerrors.txt file.

I went back and re did everything, changing none of the text in the files except for the coordinates for the graphic file and gauge pieces, and I even renamed newbar.tga to JerGauge1024x128.tga to minimize any possible errors.

I also resized the player window to 130x130 so I doubt that's causing it.

[EDIT: Just realized that compression was what was crashing me from reading another thread. Don't save your TGA files with compression!]

Well, I finally got it all figured out, and now it's working. I made an extremely common mistake and I'm almost too ashamed to admit it. Note the filename I posted above. It's supposed to be 2048x128, not 1024x128. I renamed the file and everything worked perfectly.

Just thought you might find that somewhat informational.

Thanks for sharing your mistake! I know reading things like this help me when I do the same thing.
