How to format the preview .dds mainmenu pics.... HELP

Boydster · Post by **Boydster** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 3:02 pm

First off, let me say I've gotten a lot of pics working in the mainmenu, just none of them were formatted correctly with the border and all.

I have the template. Now, I thought I knew how to get it to work but it's just not working out for me. When I look at the finished product on the tv, it's garbled. It's in four or five sections running diagonally. I'll outline everything I'm doing... Please lmk what I'm doing wrong.

1.) Open template.
2.) Open image(224x207)
3.) Drag the image into the template. Close image window.
4.) Highlight everything showing in the template window
5.) Right click on the "Layer Mask Thumbnail" icon over on the right side. Select "Subtract Layer Mask From Selection."
6.) Bring the image layer into focus and hit delete
7.) Save image as .dds (8:8:8:8 ARGB 32 bit - No MIP Tags)

Please help me out. Thanks.

Please guys, I know many of you know how.

Just say something... Wether it's how to do it or "I don't know... that looks like it should work," I'd like to hear something.

PLEASE

Don't double post. People will respond when we feel we'll be of the most assistance. To me it sounds like you still have mip maps on.

Double post? I don't remember any others besides one a couple weeks ago, which nobody replied to.

Anyways... WTF I figured the friggen thing out finally. Whoever made the flippen template needs to be shot... It's cool and handy and all, but they made it 220x207 pixels. wtf? Why would you do that? I thought the template was perfect so I never inspected it for an error like that. I knew I wasn't doing anything wrong....

Your first post was 1 day not a few weeks before the one today...

And that person was just trying to help the community. Sorry that there are helpful people in this world

I thought you were referring to my old topic. What's wrong with a bump after one day?

As for the template, I'm not putting the guy down at all. Or am not trying to at least. The thing is awesome, I just don't see why it would be 220x207 when everything else about it is perfect.

Anyways, let the thread die, problem solved.
