Juiceless Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I chuckled when I heard you say "Is somebody gonna help?" and your name was somebody... sorry. I think the error is coming up because neither 900 or 1210 are powers of 2, which are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192 and so on (you might see a pattern). As you can see, 900 and 1210 don't belong in the power of 2 table. The nearest numbers you could try is 1024, and yes, it might look a bit stretched/out of proportion, but thats how it is. I'm not sure if this goes to DDS measurments because the screen resolution doesn't go by these rules and also because I'm not a modder ~Juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are doing a retex for something, you should probably try to fit the image size used in the original and either crop or expand the image you want to use to fit with that size. Otherwise, you may come into issues with how the image is mapped on the object. If you are trying to do loading screens, you should probably look at how they have theirs setup.

Somebody131 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Thanks I realized that one more qeustion lets say its for something that displays on your screen and your game resolution is 800x600 and its 1024x1024 will it automaticly resize it smaller?

Are you using it for a loading screen or other 2D element? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am using it for a 2d element and the game crashed when I tried it is it because it is too big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
