Never ever use arsenal 3 for editing images.dat. NEVER. It will corrupt it, usually instantly. Use arsenal zero. Arsenal zero also has the option you are looking for.
ARG! Never use either! I use AZ because I have a Mac and that's all we have, but PC f-ers should use DatEdit! Google it!

Sadly, I can't use Arsenal Zero that well... I tried to use it and now that unit is crashing again.
EDIT: And I checked out DatEdit. This is so much easier! I wish I found this thing a while ago.

Arsenal zero is still faster for mass work, so depending on what you intend to do, either will get the job done.
edit - If you're interested in expanding your knowledge a bit and taking advantage of AZ this is how you would do it in AZ.
Code: Select all
[218:Battlecruiser]
File=222
GFX Turns=1
Shadow Turns=1
Unknown 4=1
Floats=1
Palette Type=0
Palette Special=0
Iscript ID=66
Shield Overlay=2
Overlay 2=223
Overlay 3=0
Overlay 4=224
Overlay 5=0
Overlay 6=0
Overlays are stuff like the fire on buildings. If you change a building's animations in any shape or form you'll need to set those to 0 to prevent it from crashing. These are NOT iscript overlays.
Palette Type=0
Palette Special=0
That's the render state. 0/0 means it's using the normal palette.
File=222
GFX Turns=1
Shadow Turns=1
Important stuff. File is a grp reference.
Code: Select all

Palette Type=10

Shield Overlay=2
Overlay 2=0
Overlay 3=0
Overlay 4=0
Overlay 5=0
Overlay 6=0
If I wanted the bc to use the shadow palette I would make the above alterations. Do note that if the grp isn't built for that palette it will crash or go screwy.
