I'm having a problem using decal version 2.05. I applied a series of decals to a crate object ( a box built of seperate boards). When I view the object using various views in decal, all surfaces have texture maps (from a 24 bit tga file). When I render the object, some patches display the default red color. What am I doing wrong. On a related note, when I tried to create a template in decal, the tga file created will not read in correctly in Fauve Matisse or Graphics Workshop, the graphic created is skewed (as if each line was 1 byte off?). The system I am using is a 486/66 with 16mb, wfwg 3.11.
