Help with Creating a Bitmap set

[Jabba_Wok]

I'm involved with a university project to create a halo map. We are looking at ammo counters on some of the weapons. I understand how to use the counters, but i wish to use my own counter designs instead of the "numbers_plate.bitmap" and "flamethrower_numbers.bitmap" tags. I've tried setting my filenames into sequence but alas the tool.exe creates them as individual tags.

eg
numbers_plate1.tif
numbers-1.tif
numbers1.tif
numbers_01.tif

they just wont compile in a single "numbers.bitmap" tag.

has anyone had success in compiling multiple .tif's into a single tag?

you make a blue sheet of any size, place each bitmap on it with acleast 1 blue pixel between them (now, remember.. it MUST, MUST be PURE blue) then tool will compile them into one bitmap tag with multiple bitmaps within it.

Thanks for that. Now we can make some nice Onboard huds for our weapon systems.
