And you have to change the Cameo= setting of the Art.ini entry of your unit (clone it first if it's an existing unit... but when cloning, don't forget to add an Image= tag with the Image=OLD_SECTION_NAME or else your unit might get invisible). Still haven't figured out the invisible units yet...

Don't know if you can convert JPEG with it, but you can convert from a lot of formats with it: XCC Mixer. http://xccu.sf.net . When you run it, look for your file and try right-clicking on it. There are a lot of conversions possible to SHP (TS), but if possible you should use a paint program to convert it to PCX (which I'm sure XCC Mixer can read). But try JPEG first (just make sure you have cameo.pal selected!) or else the colors will go bad.
