Custom Icon Issue

[ric36]

I am trying to create custom icons for a number of items from mods. I am creating the icon as a .dds file in GIMP with 1 layer and 256x256 resolution. Has an alpha channel. I have even removed all colour, however, the icons appear as scrambled in the game. I have attached an icon file. Would appreciate if somebody could tell me what I am doing wrong.

 

Thanks

Or if somebody could recommend a good tutorial on creating icons...

I don't believe that you need an alpha channel for PipBoy icons.

 

You might find a helpful tutorial in the pinned threads, such as this one here.

Ok, I figured this out. On my games machine, the icons are fine, on my modding machine (a laptop), they appear scrambled. Clearly an unsupported graphics card issue. Case solved.
