i think that means that the bitmap's dimensions are not a power of 4
example: 256x256, 512x512, 1024x1024, etc

open up that bitmap tag. look at what the bitmap is in guerilla. it might be glitchy or something. try recompiling that bitmap tag. or maybe u have a shader that needs a bitmap? idk prolly not...
[edit] whoa.... we all replied in like 2 mins... but i dont think its the power of 2 thing. that usually comes up right when u try to make the bitmap tag

hmm more details would help. or u could send me the shader and bitmap tags. but i need to know:
what kind of shader is this
is the bitmap supposed to have an alpha map
does it have the alpha map in guerilla working
yea stuff like thatbut to make an alpha map... in photoshop click the quick mask button at the bottom of the tool bar thing to start editing the alpha map. im still trying to master it, so just try doing different things to it
