No.  It's slightly more complicated.   You must define the image in description.ext.   There are a couple of description.ext tutes in the Editors Depot.   The .jpg should go in the mission folder and probably needs to have sides a factor of 2 in pixels, though you can define it to appear any size you like on the screen.

For example:-

class RscPicture
{
   type=0;
   idc=-1;
   style=48;
   colorBackground[]={0,0,0,0};
   colorText[]={1,1,1,1};
   font="tahomaB24";
   size=0;
};

class RscTitles
{
   class naughty2
   {
   idd=-1;
   movingEnable=0;
   duration=8;
   name="naughty2";
   controls[]={"Title"};
   
   class Title: RscPicture
   {
         text="naughty2.jpg";
         x=0.300000;
         y=0.000000;
         w=0.450000;
         h=1.000000;
        };
   };
};


You would call the pic with

titleRsc ["naughty2","plain",0.1]

Can anyone please tell me which is the color that is discarded when you use the rscpicture command???

You would call the pic with

titleRsc ["naughty2","plain",0.1]

ok sorry to sound a noob, but this is what i have got so far....



i have got a description exe with the text you displayed....

class RscPicture
{
  type=0;
  idc=-1;
  style=48;
  colorBackground[]={0,0,0,0};
  colorText[]={1,1,1,1};
  font="tahomaB24";
  size=0;
};

class RscTitles
{
  class UKF
  {
   idd=-1;
   movingEnable=0;
   duration=8;
   name="UKF";
   controls[]={"Title"};
   
   class Title: RscPicture
   {
        text="UKF.jpg";
        x=0.300000;
        y=0.000000;
        w=0.450000;
        h=1.000000;
        };
  };
};

titleRsc ["UKF","plain",0.1]

Yes, this line

titleRsc ["UKF","plain",0.1]

doesn't go in description.ext, you put that in the trigger or whereever to make the image appear.   That's what I meant by "You would call the pic with".

[smileynick]

The .jpg should go in the mission folder and probably needs to have sides a factor of 2 in pixels, though you can define it to appear any size you like on the screen.

This means the picture dimensions need to be in powers of 2.

i.e.

64 X 64
128 X 128
128 X 64
256 X 128

etc etc etc

Your dimensions as displayed in the error message is:

755 X 112

Lol well at least we are getting there.   If I may refer you to my original post once more

The .jpg should go in the mission folder and probably needs to have sides a factor of 2 in pixels, though you can define it to appear any size you like on the screen.

Try saving it as 512x128.    It doesn't actually matter what size you save it, the size on the screen is defined in description.ext anyway.
