Book Images not Appearing Properly with Custom Book, HELP!


Akarsil

Recommended Posts

I've recently been looking into creating a journal for one of my mods with scribbled sketches in it, drawn by the corresponding author. My problem is that no matter what I try to achieve through the regular image pathways. (Per. Usual) None of the images appears ingame and is instead a rainbow-colored "IMG!" indicating that there was an error reading or finding the image.

  • I use compressed PNG files in proper resolution sizes according to the max size of the CK.
  • I have tried several different pathways, including the vanilla standard for book images.
  • I have tried both a loose file and a compressed BSA version.

Is there anyone here who've encountered this problem before that might be able to help me out with a solution? It's slowly getting on my nerves, and there's not one guide I've been through to try to achieve a result. :pinch:

Put the image in a <p> tag.

example:


<p align='center'>
<img src='img://textures/interface/books/ndpainting.png' height='176' width='244'>
</p>

I had the same problem only a couple of days ago and found that it wasn't my png format as I tried the native skyrim book images and they wouldn't work either.

 

As soon as I put the image inside a paragraph tag it showed.

You can have other tags and text in the paragraph tag along with the image, but some trickier combinations of tags sometimes don't work (well for me anyways).

The paragraph tag doesn't have to be center it can be any alignment.

The images don't have to be in the path of my example, can be anywhere in the data folder and the path must start with //.

I put my images in

//Interface/MHIYHL/MHIYHL_BoT.png

and it works fine after wrapping it in a <p> tag.

 

This text in the page field of the book results with left page in the the image below it

<p align='center'><font face='$HandwrittenFont' size='25'><u><b>Book of Tenants</b></u></font>
<font face='$HandwrittenFont' size='20'><Alias=TMT></font>

<img src='img://Interface/MHIYHL/MHIYHL_BoT.png' height='212' width='220'></p>

Thank you very much, I'll check this out the same moment I'm home and see if it worked.

Really appreciating you took your time to answer so thoroughly! I will edit this later to let you know if it worked.
Have a great day in the meantime.

Unfortunately it didn't work for me.

<p align='center'>
<img src='img://Textures/Actors/Character/Akarsil/Books/gib_1.png' height='471' width='296'>
</p>

This is the final result that I came up with .. Unfortunately it still doesn't work like it's supposed to and remains a multicolored "IMG!" :sad:

I really can't see where it's going wrong for you.

I right clicked your displayed forum image (not the flicker link) and saved it, renamed it to gib_1.png

put it in my directory, used your file name in my book (used the same code I posted earlier).

 

The result I get is...

 

At the true size of the image (H202 x W200):

At stretched size (H471 x W296)

That's strange ... And you used the same link as you did before, (The image coding) Like the one you demonstrated above?
I have my suspicions it might have something to do with Windows 8, but that just seems absurd.

Yep same image code in the book as I posted earlier, only changed the sizes and file name.

Win 7 SP1 x64 here, I haven't used win 8 so I couldn't give you and advice on that one.

 

But if vanilla books in skyrim shows pictures, then there's no reason why your own images should not work.
