Hi! I've been trying to make a .mov avatar following bonkmakyr's youtube tutorial, but every time I run the command line as stated in the video I get the following message:



I'm using a 32-bit Windows XP VM, and I've attempted running the command line using different compimg versions (in the several folders from the movtools file). Does anyone know what that message means and how to get compimg to work?

Heya. That youtube video has some incorrect information and you should follow this guide instead: https://kangworlds.net/tutorials/cmp.html

For this error specifically, there are two workarounds:
A. Use an older version of Windows. compimg.ovl is a 16-bit overlay library so depending on the system it may fail to hook into the 32-bit main process. Also make sure that your version of COMPIMG actually came with the OVL, if it didn't, I can provide you with the file you need.
B. Ensure the BMP file is the correct color format (BMP version 3, 8-bit color). This will bypass compimg.ovl entirely. It will only run if it needs to convert the image format before compression.

I changed the color formats to 8-bit and it worked. Thank you for your help and for the tutorials! :D
