[REL] Captain's Desk Photos Mods

[groomsie]

I have no idea how to do a mod, but what if we want to insert a single photo of our choosing--say a girlfriend or wife?

My wife--who gave me SH4 as a gift and loves that I'm loving it--is kidding me about putting her photo on the desk. Any ideas on how to do this?

Perhaps a small mod that accepts a photo?

The guts of what I'm asking are probably right here, just need to know how to do it. Can anyone offer any help / tips / point in the right direction?

Many thanks!

Fred probably knows, if any.


Awsome Pinup pics, been browsing all day.

My bad, readme:

If you don't have GIEP, or prefer to manually install the picture, extract the files, choose the one you want, rename it to "picture.tga" then copy/move it to the Data\CaptainPicture folder. Before changing the picture, you may wish to copy the original someplace so you can restore it.

Thats all ya need to do.

Just take the image and resize it to 512x626. If doesn't go down, or up, to that exact size, you will either have to crop the excess or add padding to it to get to those diminsions. Then save it as a TGA file called "picture.tga" and put it in the CaptainPicture folder of your SH4 install.
