    Straight to the point, I am creating a texture pack for KAG.

    I know that when I remove the Purple & Yellow dots from the Knight/Archer/Builder that the heads will not show up on them (as I intend them to not show up) it's just that as a result when you pick up stuff in-game they are not centered (up on top left of character usually) and was wondering if there is any way to resolve it without adding the Purple/Yellow dots again?

    Make the figures you want to make, leave those pink and yellow dots, and sprite around them. The PINK one casts the head ON the Character sprites, the YELLOW one BEHIND. Thing is, on the head sheet, make a small part of the head you'll be using, so that single pixel will be seen; notice that heads ingame move sligtly when jumping, walking etc. Use yellow dots only, so the heads or whatever you paint on Heads.png won't be seen ON the character, and check constantly ingame.

    (hah ill show some examples later today gtg now)

    As you said those dots are not only used for placing the heads (the dot corresponds to the pixel between the eyes generally) but also for the things you grab. I'm sure you could do it other way but that's the cheap easy one.

    Hey man I figured something out, I removed the textures for the heads completely!

    Then added a purple dot onto a "black" part of his skin, now things line up nicely and only a teeny tiny little graphical error shows up.

    So I'm happy with that!

    If you delete all the heads, the yellow/pink pixels will show the background.

    Yeah, it shows up under his visor, I'm not bothered about it though

    Not sure a way around it.

    those errors are broken AngelScripts not pngs , this is a texture-pack so it will only change some sprites right? but I suppose you changed one (or maybe more?) scripts , if you have a backup of this texturepack then maybe you should roll down to the vanilla scripts then add yours as a mod then locate the broken script.
    PS: I see you're testing the new textures on your vanilla game [save the princess], you're sure u didn't change any script right? also next time please make it as a mod and test it using the "localhost" so that you can find out what's wrong , also come to IRC if possible and I will give you a hand :wink:

    Perhaps your running it as a Mod inside the Mods folder? If that's the case, try just replacing the pngs directly, keeping a backup Base folder

    8x using it as a mod is much safer than replacing the vanilla ones , also no if only the .png were edited and he put them inside the Mods folder he wouldn't get that issue. I suppose he edited some scripts without noticing.

    Could of corrupted a script when I copy over my "base" folder from each copy.

    Basically what I have been doing is keeping two copy's of the base folder, one with modded textures and one with none.
    I kind of been just replacing the KAG base with the one I would like to switch to if I want to try out the texture pack or play kag.

    I will try and replace a few things then see what happens.

    be sure to use the original .as scripts in your Base folder , do not use any edited ones {unless if you're totally sure that you Re-wrote them correctly}.

    Ah! finally.

    Took me a while I had to track down every single modified image in every folder and copy them into a clean install.
    I managed to resolve it, must of corrupted a really important folder when I was moving things around.

    Thanks for your help though guys @blackjoker77777 & @8x
