Post by: The HarvesteR on 28 Oct 2002, 06:14:10

:help: help me out here :help:

i haven't played this game for some time now, but yesterday i started playin'again :joystick:

i made this little mission, and i made a picture to put on the overview... BUT :o

i doesn't work!
the game crashes when i click on the mission....... :(
i tried to switch the file to a .tga (it was a .jpg) but still didn't work, this time i couldnt select it

im using the briefing & overview generator i found on this site

then i switched it back to .jpg as i read OFP could use jpegs...
but didn't work :(

the image is even sided (256x128)
i have ran out of ideas...

Is the original image's size a power of two? I mean if the jpeg is, for example, 256x128.

the resolution must be same as too
and try d/l'ing "texview" from the ed-depot it converts .jpg to .paa which is what finally worked for me
.paa is what the game uses rather than .jpg
.jpg is suppose to work but i never could get it to
hope that helps ya  ;D

Jpeg works very fine for me, perhaps it won't work if you save it with a progressive compression, anyway it always I've worked for me, as well as using .paa.
