Following Kirk's tutorials, when i do the command

tool bitmaps <my directory> to change the .tif to a .bitmap,

it gives the error

"WARNING: bitmap with greater than 1-bit alpha being compressed as DXT1" and it fails to create a new tag.

The tutorial then goes to say to open it in Guerilla and change things, etc...

Now, I can't open the .tif in Guerilla (following the tutorial) because i keep getting this error message:

" you need to set your working directory. "

How do I fix this? Thank you for your help.

Sounds like it spit out a .bitmap that's messed up.

Get rid of the alpha (unless you need it) and try it again.

You don't open the .tif in geurilla, open the .bitmap that was created.

How would I remove the alpha in Paintshop Pro?

I've also discovered a new error (maybe) in tool. When doing the bitmaps command, it would say the bitmap tag is the same as the directory, would that prevent it from creating the tag?
