HOF : custom PWL load screen files messed up

[myythryyn]

hello.

so i have found a problem with my maps. all the PWL load screen files that worked fine before HOF are now a quarter size screen picture, with the rest of the screen all distorted and warped.

i suppose some setting was changed with the new expansion pack and possibly the new patch.

but i have no idea what that setting is, or how to correct the custom PWL files.
anyone else have this problem, or know a solution?

if you read this Pitsu, im sure youll know what to do

I do not have HoF and I do not remember what dds converter you had. Anyaway, try to extract a PWL dds image from any Nival Map. Open it in your converter/image viewer and try to find a place where it describes the compression options for that correctly working file. Use the same options for converting your own images. Other way is just to try blindly all different options.

If you have http://eliteforce2.filefront.com/file/D ... rter;29412
converter, make sure that under options build mipmaps is set to zero. If I am not mistaken, having a larger number there may cause the effect you have.

If you send me an original HoF image and your images I may be further help.

ok thxs pitsu, ill try to do those things tonight.

im just suprised no one else has replied.

maybe im the only one with this problem?
i would think that alot of people would have had this happen by now.

anyone with HOF out there? are you PWL loading files working ok?

maybe its somehow a graphics thing on my end i have to update or something.

I took the picture from A1C1M3 campaign map and it put it in my test map and it works fine.

The picture is 1024x768 and they filled the bottom in black to be 1024x1024.

You problem can only be 2 things :
the .xdb file for the PWL image reference or the image itself.

But i can't tell what is wrong.

Normally its the dds file that is wrongly converted.

would i be able to send you my map file neckie?

this is one thing im not very sure about is the proper settings for the PWL files.

as well its very confusing that all my PWL loading screens worked fine up till i installed the expansion pack,now they are warped.

so i dont understand what the expansion pack could have changed since everything in the map files is the same.
