Title: Decals -trouble and sharing
Post by: philetbabe on June 19, 2009, 12:24:11 PM
Hi,

i aimed to deliver a pack of decals, but i have a problem :
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/61235myDecals.png)

the decals are 256*256, 32 bits tga files (made with Artweaver a free  easy-to-use painter).
i can resize the decal and paste it but  an anormal line always appears (see picture on the bottom right) .
i've tried to make picture 128*128 or 64*64 -> it's worth.

Why ? does any of you have any idea ?

as soon as the problems will be resolved i will share this pack (see splash above for decal sample).

here is a typical tga file that brings problem :

does the mouse or decal "jump" if you move it to a certain place on the bot?

I ain't got no problem about the decal position : i can rotate it, place it wherever i want, and no 'jump effect'.

Something similar happens to me once in a while:

And did you resolve it ?

most of the time this is due to bad image size (it must be 32*32 or 64*64 or 128*128 etc), or bad save (not 32bits).

but for the moment, i do not found any issue.

I know the issue your have... its called artweaver it sometimes adds random lines in pictures that you cant get rid of and cant see in the editor.. I know as I used it to mod the UI of Ra2 and it did the same thing to the main menu... best off finding a new TGA editor

if thats the case joeblo, i suggest u get paint.net philetbabe.  Its easy to use and I think (think) its free but i got it off the school computers, so if its not free ill send it to ya.
