Title: PAA File
Post by: Old_Man on 16 Sep 2002, 19:29:13
Has anyone made one , and if so how did you do it. My mission works without it it's just bugging me that I don't have one.

you need to download the texture viewer program, I'm not sure if its in the editors depot yet though.

Yes it is. Old_Man, you can download it right here (http://www.ofpec.com/publicfiles/files/tools/TexView_11.zip).

Make sure both the width and height of your image are a factor of 2 (e.g. 64 x 128, 256 x 256, 512 x 32, etc) and in JPEG format. Open the image in TexView (the texture viewer) and chose "Save As..." from the "File" menu. Give it a "PAA" extension and Bob's your uncle.

If you want the picture to be the same size and shape as the official single missions then in the Overview you need to specify the size thus

<p align="center"><img src="mypicture.paa" width="160" height="64"></p>

 :oThe game accepts JPEG's as well, so ya don't really need texview at all, mate  :o ::) :) ;D


Just size the "jpg" right and yer mission overview will appear just F.I.N.E.  8)

---------------------

Hek, I'll give an example - makes things clear & neat  :)


 Put in your "briefing.html" file the code;

<p align="center"><img src="MyPicture.jpg" width="200" height="160"></p>


...where MyPicture.jpg is the name of the pic file, and where you
can align the picture, Left, Right , Center.  ;) This would work like a brew!


And remember to  :o set the daytime to 12 noon and set a clear blue sky to sharpen up the pic.

The funny thing is that PAA files are bigger than JPG ones..
and its both THE SAME LOW QUALITY!
