Trying to make a bitmap tag

Alright, so I downloaded two textures to screw with, and I need to make them into tags. They WERE jpegs, but I saved them as TIF files with Photoshop in RGB color and no compression. When I point tool to the directory the bitmaps are in, I get this:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>tool bitmaps levels\biohalo
\bitmaps\
Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
### Asphalt.tif
skipping bitmap with non-power-of-two dimensions (#378x#276#1)
### Cement.tif
skipping bitmap with non-power-of-two dimensions (#123x#126#1)
How did I screw up the bitmaps, and how do I un-screw-them-up?

FOOTNOTE: And what's the big fuss over toolbeta.map? It doesn't seem to affect tool in any way, but It's just been bugging me for a while.

bitmaps must be:32X32 or 64X64 or 128X128 256X256 or 512X512 1024X1024
