Crash when loading .bmps (Modders!)

I get an .rte error every time I try to load my mod; it references a .bmp, but it shouldn't be causing issues.

I thought it was my sprites not being in the right format (bmp/compression/palette), but I recently put in some vanilla Ronin sprites, and it's still giving me errors.

Is there anything that could be causing it?

Error:

RTE Aborted! (x_x)

Failed to load datafile object with following path and name:

DaemoniaExDuellum.rte/Devices/Sprites/osculumExPlumbum000

The last frame has been dumped to 'abortscreen.bmp'

OK

The actual sprite is osculumExPlumbum.bmp; it doesn't show the extension and instead shows three zeroes. I have no idea why.

I tried adding 3 zeroes to the filename, but the error showed osculumExPlumbum001 instead.

My guess, without seeing the code, is that the framecount isn't set properly. In the ini file after the sprite path, there should be a property called framecount. That needs to match the number of sprites you made (probably 1).

It's used for animations, legs and arms for instance have 5 sprites named something like: arm000, arm001, arm002 etc and the framecount set to 5.

Oh!

I set that earlier and forgot to change it; I set it to two, thinking that the gun would need a firing animation and a passive animation, but completely forgot to tell my spriter that.

Working perfectly now. Thanks.
