Have a look at Captain Coxs' Silent Service Mod, it is excellent, may give you
some ideas.

Edit: Ok, think you might have saw this by your first post, maybe PM CC, maybe he has some info.

ok can anyone help me here?

I tried to convert a jpg to a dds and got this.
[image.jpg] is not a power of 2 size

can someone help me understand what this means?

CaptainCox · 06-21-07, 11:48 PM

It means that the HEIGHT and WIDTH of the picture is not dividable in 4

For example
You have a picture that is 513x513 pixels
Divide 513 in 4 = 128,25
No good as it has ,25

However
512 in 4 = 128
Will work

As long as the side Height and Width is dividable by 4 it should work.

I will give you another example of size
Ok you have a picture that is
1282 X 1026
1282/4=320,5
1026/4=256,5

As you can see its not dividable with 4

Now if I resize it to
1280 X 1024
1280/4=320
1024/4=256

That will save as a DDS no problem.

Also I would recommend GIMP if you cant get Photoshop
Its totally free (open source) and has all the features that PS has.
http://www.gimp.org/

DDS plug-in for GIMP
http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=4816
or
http://www.utzone.de/include.php?path=content/download.php&contentid=4069

When you save a DDS file "I" use these settings...its from the NVIDIA Plug In so might differ a bit to the one of GIMP, but should be similar.

When you load a DSS in to Photoshop (I think similar in GIMP)

When saving a DDS

The MIP maps setting should be off when you are doing stuff for the MENU!

Hope that helps you a bit.

Jeeez this forum gives so much good info and links free and I'm to stupid to ever know how to use it.

But I'll still d\l it and save it. Who knows. :p

Thanks to all SubSim Members

Thanks for the help But I looked at Cox's Silent Service mod and he is using most of the pitchurs I want to use. Good Idea but just a little slow.
