How do I replace existing images?

#1 Post by doorknob22 »

I feel really stupid for asking this but here goes: I added an image named "image a" and compiled the game. Later I wasn't happy with the quality of the image and replaced a new image named "image a" so I won't have to manually replace the references in the code. However, no matter what I did, the old image is the one shown in the game. I guess I can rename the newer images and replace their names in the code but if feels really inefficient.

Here is what I tried so far:
1. Force Recomplie
2. Delete Persistent data
3. Change/Update Gui

In the game/images folder I only see the new images, but when I run the game I see the original images. Any ideas?

Images may have been archived. Check the files with .rpa extension in a game folder. If there are any, remove them.
