Title: White picture
Post by: Binary on 07 Mar 2011, 22:18:20

Hey folks, I'm having an issue with displaying a image from a trigger..
I used this method in ArmA 1, and it worked, but now it just gives me a completely white picture ?

Code: [Select]

//Description.ext
class RscTitles
{
   class kaffekop
   {
      idd = 100;
      movingEnable =  1;
      duration     =  10;
      fadein       =  0;
      fadeout      =  2;
      name = "kaffekop";

      class controls
      {
 class kaffekop
 {
    idc = 101;
             type = 0;
             style = 48;
             font = "Bitstream";
             sizeEx = 0.04;
             colorBackground[] = {0, 0, 0, 0};
             colorText[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};
             text = "kaffekop.jpg";
             x = 0.1;
             y = 0.1;
             w = 0.3;
             h = 0.3;
          };
      };
   };
};

I have no idea about the code, I'm a copy/paster myself when it comes to .ext. But, I had a similar problem when using jpegs in ArmA and that was when I tried to have a transparent alpha channel. Afaik, it doesn't work on a jpeg, you need to create a .png image (in i.e photoshop) and then convert it to .paa with the BI program  textView.

Hope that might help, good luck!

Or alternatively a targa (.tga) file, and then turn that into a .paa. Either work. :)

Here's texview2 for the conversion into .paa: Linky (http://www.ofpec.com/addons_depot/index.php?action=details&id=35)

Wolfrug out.

Unfortunately somewhere along the way Adobe messed up the tga file format, so as far as I'm aware using it for transparency will not work in at least Photoshop CS3 and above.

And that does really complicate things sometimes. :dry:

Must be your own doing, has worked fine for me in CS3 and now in CS4..
