Ranokoa Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 ok i've tried dds converter and apperantly either im doing it wrong or that was the wrong thing to do... Can someone tell me, step by step (With requirements and 'if this happens then do this' details) how to get an image from a JPG to be able to be used in a book in oblivion. I know my way around the CS very well, and im the kinda modder who mainly sticks with the CS.. very few times do i ever (and even rarer for me to upload to be downloaded) make a mod that has to do with anything not already in CS. So im at a loss. I just really dont have the time to juggle between the mod projects i have, school, work and the once weekly very expected internet downtime for me plus the additional day on the weekends that are 'clean days'.... I basically get a 12 hour weekend... sleeping in and 12 hours awakeness. Ya.. by i digress... SO can someone help me? again step by step. Thanks!

AzirAphale001 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 If you give me a link to the images then I could do it for you. They wont be very high quality, but they'll do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranokoa Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Well, you see... >_< Its for a pornography mod of mine ^_^'. I'd rather know how to do it myself so i can make the mod then upload it. THEN you will see the pictures =D But in all seriousness i would rather not send people links to pornographic pictures in tesnexus or the nexusforums. Id rather just make the mod tagged as 'adult material'. sooo... Can anyone help me? I dont care bout quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxXEvandarXxx Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 1. Open the image you want to use in a program like GIMP or Photoshop (I think even Microsoft Paint would work), and then scale/crop the image so it is a power of two (like 512x512, 256x64 or whatever you wanna use), and save it. 2. Start the DDS Conveterter. Set Output format to DirectDraw Surface (*.dds). Click on Options. Set the DXTc format to DXT3. Remove the checkmark from the box next to Build Mipmaps, and click on the Ok button. 3. Look for your image, select it, and click on the convert button. After the conversion is complete, click on the Close button (or restart if you want to convert more images). Here is some information about the <img> tag used to add images to books in case you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranokoa Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Ok so i followed what you said, i looked at the tags on what to use and i looked a little at the wiki help, i sized it down to 444, 512 512 (512 512 crashed,) but no matter what size i use the picture does not appear. I put the words Test right after the image tag, and in game the words test appear where they should and in different places depending on the size of the image but the image itself is not there. It acts as though it is but all i see is just the blank book with the word TEST as if there was an image of 444 444 size behind it. Can someone tell me what im doing wrong? (used several different images, a picture, one that was just a black picture with the word test in the middle of it, all converted to DDS. I put it in the menu folder and typed this <IMG src=”Data\Textures\Menus\test11.dds” width=444 height=444> test ) Can someone help, is there a step im missing?

Ranokoa Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Umm now your not in the right place. However, you could try to redownload the file. If that doesnt work tell me the file link and i will look at it and make sure it works. If it does not, i will guide you through step by step how to ensure it is working. PM me so not to spam with an off topic discussion on the forums, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BossDweebe Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 "I put it in the menu folder and typed this <IMG src="Data\Textures\Menus\test11.dds" width=444 height=444> test" I have never done this sort of thing I have only replaced pictures, but looking at what you said, and what the tutorial says: FROM WIKI notes: When you add your images to Data\Textures\Menus, you do not need to add the "Data\Textures\Menus" portion of the pathname in the book text file. That portion will be added automatically. Just make sure that all THREE sizes are created (as placed in the Menus, Menus80, and Menus50 directories). Use the Data\Textures\Menus(50/80)\Book directory, unless the image file already exists elsewhere in the Textures\Menus path. Not sure I'm on the right track here, but....
