What command did you type in tool? Write exactly what you typed.

paint can't save the file correctly as a tiff. you need to save it as uncompressed rbg but paint save it as a compressed file.

actually i just had the command wrong i typed
tool bitmaps weapons\breifcase
its actually
tool bitmaps weapons\breifcase\bitmaps

and yes paint tiff files work fine when you save them as .tif

i suggest you use photoshop if you want to pay money for a good skinning program, or Paint.Net and also it seems as if you typed bitmaps instead of bitmap, use bitmap when your compiling a single bitmap and bitmaps when your compiling multiple bitmaps. When using bitmap just type the full directory and the filename, don't include the extension; and when using bitmaps just include the file they're located in. Hope this helps
