I can't figure out how to make this image into a decal:frown:. I posted a screen shot to show my problem. Can anybody make this pic into a Decal, I was going to use it for my Jousting bot:approve:. Thx in advance if someone does:smiley:.

To add a custom decal texture to the game, follow the instructions below.

For a simple square decal, create the custom texture in your favorite image editor (ie. Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw, etc.)

Adjust the image size so that it is 64 pixels by 64 pixels square
Save the file as a 24-bit bitmap (bmp) file on your hard drive.
Make sure there are NO spaces in the name. (ie. star.bmp, yellow_star.bmp)
Copy the file to this folder in your Robot Arena 2 installation directory: Infogrames\Robot Arena 2\Texture Library\decals\

I'm no expert on this however.

P.S. don't use square extenders, unless this is a replica

Thanks:smiley:, well I know Why it didn't work now lol. As for the extenders it's my jousting bot I needed to put weight on the back of the bot to counterbalance the weapon because it's really heavy in the front

I found another pic with porportial values, It comes out ok in the game but I don't want a white square with the pic I just want the object nothing else. How do I do this:?

Wouldn't it be easier to export the paintjob and edit it?

I think Decals suck also because, when you place them the quality of the picture sometimes drops like 50%

Make it a .tga with transparent background.
