Question about edges

[J]

Fire off, I was unsure of this section for this sort of thing, but ehhh...

....Anyway

You know how all those Targa files for the edges are in like the same 25x25px box? Do the edges REALLY need to be that small? No seriously, here's an exact copy-paste of the bloody-drips file:

Filename: bloody_drips.tga
Preview: bloody_preview.bmp
Length ratio (world pixels per file pixel): .02
Width (world pixels): 24

The length and width on this file are how big it appears on the robot. It doesn't mention anything about the file size.
So would RA2 actually except a Targa file that is larger then the norm?
(Because I have an incredible idea for an edge if RA2 would work this way)

So yea, do all the Targa images need to be that small in order for RA2 to load them?

you can try 50x50, etc

I know maps work as 256x256, 512x512, etc ,etc

Oh so you CAN go beyond that small box?
Well, this makes custom-edges a lot more awesome for me.

....Though I do have 1 more question:
If you make an edge larger, does it appear shrunken on the bot?

[JoeBlo]

I dont know if you can.. just maps allow expanding in doubles so its worth the try.

The end result will probably appear the same on the robot no matter the size.

Well, I tried my idea, and the result is.... well..... rather disappointing:

(in thise red circles, there are like small "smudges", where the edge should be)
So either RA2 DOES have a build-in "thing" that only accepts targas that are like 24x24, or its something with the notepad file.
........
I'm stumped :/

[JoeBlo]

what are you making the Targa's with ?

I doubt its a problem with Photoshop, because every other custom edge Targa Ive made with it, turned out just fine.
Of course, all of those used the same "required size", so I'm going my theory on RA2 only accepting Targas that are a set size.
