Can't seem to get my emblem to work

GunterSepp · 01-20-12, 11:29 PM

I apologize if this question has been asked before but I searched and didn't seem to find the answer I was looking for. I am trying to create an emblem using GIMP. I have created an emblem before using Photoshop and I saved it as a tga file and put it in the right folder and it has worked since then. I am trying to do the same thing this time but with GIMP and when ever I go to select the emblem in the specials menu in my career, the emblem shows up as a white box. Does anyone know what I did wrong?

Try using :http://www.irfanview.com/. Its free.
Edit any U boat emblem TGA and save and rename.

Worked for me when I had to make one for U-53 .

Wow, that was so easy. Every other time I have tried to make an emblem it has been a pain in the rear. Thanks so much.

Well, add me to the "thanks" list. I've heard the name forever but never made the connection. I'll be trying it too.
