A new pretender. The King in Yellow

[Iffriel]

Robert W Chambers once wrote a book that really resounded well with me, about a group of people at the turn of the last century, people connected by a play that existed in their version of the world entitled The King In Yellow. Now, I'm trying to bring that very king to life, the mad king in tattered yellow robes slipping his greesey tendrils into your dreams and wrenching them out to be his grim toys.

I've made two sprites for this god, writen his description and as far as I can tell written him a DM file with no conflicts but I just can't seem to get him to work.

So I'm uploading what I've done here in the hopes that you might be able to help me get this enigmatic character ingame and working. Here's hoping.

#name "Carcosian Spirit"
#descr "A spirit from dim Carcosa, the black city built long before those who now inhabit it arived and took shelter there, a city at the edge of the lake of Harli, twin suns setting beneith it's waters and where black starst shine in the sky. He is a festering insipid spirit, his yellow tattered robs and palid mask hang beneith a sickly golden crown. Creeping into your dreams he whispers of great things and promises he will not keep, and you will wear his yellow sign and become his servant, forgetting all he has offered you."

The game always spits out the error - myloadmalloc: can't open ./mods/C:\Program Files\dominion3\mods\the King in Yellow copy tgs.tga

this is whenever I try to start a new game with him or use the create a pretender function, I've not got very good coding knowledge but I've tried all i can and am now at a loose end, I hope you'll be able to help

thanks

Iffy.
