Issues converting image for use with zstart
« on: March 09, 2019, 12:32:32 pm »
This is a pretty good bump, but it fits in this topic, so I don't feel the need to make a new one. I was trying to convert a picture to be displayed on the calculator, but when I am on the last step listed in the readme, the program says:
File Found!
File Size 18554
Wrong Header Type!!
Is there any way to fix this? As far as I know, I followed the instructions exactly. I'll attach the picture in case it is needed.

Edit: I guess it's not a bump. Sorry for posting in the old thread, in that case.

I've just tried this myself and got the same error. I'm not sure what would be causing it without being able to see the source of level8.exe

@Sorunome Do you have any idea?

I can't test it, but maybe the BMP itself has a header that level8 can't process? I know I had that issue in an unrelated project (I thought I was converting it to a low density format, but it was actually refusing to :( )

I was wondering if something about GIMP changed, as it has gone through ~5 years of updates, but I don't see what that would do to change how it saves BMPs. After all, I would think that an image file format would be pretty set and unchanging, but maybe not. I don't see how the program itself could have changed, and I doubt windows has changed in a way that it can't cooperate with the program anymore. I might try installing an older version of GIMP to see if that would work.

Edit: I just tried it with GIMP 2.8, from late 2015. I got the same error as before.

Hello there.

Not sure if that has been solved yet, but i remember having discovered long ago that BMP files can actually have 2 different file stuctures, depending on the software used for saving.
If zstart only handles 1 of them, that could explain the issue.
