Texturing Image Colormaps - Page 7

Priby · 2009-10-21, 22:10

My map shows up horizontally mirrored even if i redo it with a horizontally flipped image.
Do i have to delete something from my first try?

Edit: Problem solved.

ok I had this working on 2km but have no idea why it does not work now.

alright, i type in CD C:\Hainan\bf2_tpaint (moved it because I have all my mod stuff on D

that works
then I typine in bf2_tsplit.exe null colorbig.tga
it writes some stuff, but I find no colormaps folder in the bf2_tpaint folder.

anyone?

probaly because the file is called colourbig.tga and not colorbig.tga

It doesn't create its own colormap folder, IIRC. You have to create it yourself.

You can drap and drop files into the cmd prompt to get the path, without having to type anything in. Using that alongside the 'cmd prompt here' powertoy (or whatever its called, search msdn for it if you want it) can save you a lot of typing and prevent a lot of spelling mistakes from making you have to type it again.

Dont drag the exe into the prompt then drag the file paths though, I am not sure where the working directory for Tpaint would be if you did that, and that could cause a lot of problems. You have been warned.

any ideas?

got my Tpaint folder in my levels folder, got the colormap.tga in the tpaint folder, made a "colormaps" folder inside the tpaint folder . got the correct path using the above drag and drop.

the easiest way is to name the file colourbig.tga make it read-only and then just use the bf2_tpaint.exe

gazzthompson · 2010-01-25, 18:52

and how do i go about using the bf2_tpaint.exe to do it?

When I go into photoshop to adjust the pixel size I go to Image>resize>Image size.

when I get there there is a Section saying Pixel dimensions with the pixel size, But I can't resize it there. Under it it says "Document size" with 3 areas I can change being "width" "height" "resolution" and with the units of measurement there is no "pixels". Am I going to the wrong place to change the pixels or what?
