Custom Images in Books FYI

[droscoe2]

I've been poking around with Books in the CK for my dye mod....figured out some things.

 

So far, from trial and error, I've discovered:

 

If you have a [pagebreak] command, there must be a space between that and the 'insert image' command. It should look like

 

[pagebreak]

 

<img src='img://Textures/Interface/Books/grid.png' width='290' height='430'>

 

As you can see, I have a custom image called 'grid.png' loaded into a book. I used it to help discover the maximum resolution for a custom book image, which is 290x430, as you can see in the text. The image itself, however, is actually 145x215. The image will be scaled, stretched, shrunk appropriately, as it doesn't matter what your image's resolution is. Whatever resolution you put in the command will be the output. In this case, my 'grid' is displayed at 290x430 on the page. This, I should note, is as big as it will go before it starts clipping off the edges of your image.Max resolution for a picture on the page is 290x430. You can see what I did below:

Just thought It would help to share

 

UPDATE* - I can confirm that DDS images work as well. I now doubt that PNG is a required format. Below is a test of putting individual images of my armor work for Skyrim Armor Dyes. DDS allows for transparency! Just a test run. Pretty cool stuff.

Thanks, I was looking for such info as I was having trouble getting custom images to work. Kudos.

 

Edit: it also works for JPG images :dance:
