Thanks,

So its just my size that is causing me to not see the emblem then??

I will try to re-size it to 256x256 and check

Thanks for the offer of doing it for me, its only one that im trying to get working as of now, but i would rather work it out myself so i can do more in the future.

Thanks again

First just convert the jpeg in dds
then open one dds from ,,old fistfull of emblems'' and look at his size, pixel etc

open your dds and resize with the same caracteristics

Basically im beat with this.

I've got a square image from the net, customised it in Paint.net. I've taken a dds picture file from "A Fistfull of Emblems" MOd and sized mine in paint. net exactly the same as follows:

256x256 pixels
Resoloution 37.80
Print size 6.77 width and 6.77 height

These are the exact dimensions of the Working emblems in the mod. I've even got them next to each other in Paint.net and they look exactly the same (different picture of course).

I then "save as" and choose DDS. and it saves it to my desktop as a dds file which looks the same as the ones in the mod.

Yet when i scroll my mouse over the file, mine is 32.1kb and the other's are 85.4kb??????

I've even put it in the emblem file and gone in-game to check, but all it shows is the empty black X where i would expect to see my emblem!!

Someone must know where im going wrong here, i thought this would be as simple as!

sounds like you didn't give it an alpha channel. What DXT format are you saving it as? DXT5?

Thanks TDW,

I was saving it with the default settings, because i knew not what i was talking about. However it seems that if i save it as DXT5 it only 'up's' it to 64.1kb and not the stated 85.4kb!
Is it really the size that is the difference between work and not work?

Either way, i've had a meeting with my crew and they are refusing to leave port again until there is a giant picture of my Butt on the conning tower....i lost a bet with the navigator that the weather wasn't improving.

there's no need to create an account. Just simply press the big yellow upload file icon and then select the file. Once it's been uploaded it will give you a link to the file at the bottom of the page. Copy and paste to here.
