Title: How to make squad logos
Post by: Unknown Target on December 20, 2001, 10:55:00 am

I save them as .pcx and put a cop of them in my players\squads\whatever directory, and I put another in data\multidata, but they still don't show up in the game, I mean, it's listed, but there's no image!

decrease your colors to 256 and make sure they are 128 by 128

Also, if you are using them for single-player missions, they only show up on fighters if the missions are being played in a campaign.

What they said, in a check list:

__ Image size 128 by 128 pixels

__ Image reduced to 256 colors

__ Background (what you want transparent) filled with pure green (#00FF00 or 0 256 0)

__ Image saved as .pcx

__ Image copied into data\players\squads\

__ Image appears in multiplayer pilot barracs (in the squad logo selector)

__ Create mission in FRED2 to change squad to new image

__ Put new mission in a campaign

__ Play new campaign to see if squad logo appears

That's what I had to do with my new logos. I created ("http://www.joek.com/other/freespace/rev_squads.shtml") a bunch of new ones, and so I created a mission for each one, and strung them together into a campaign to test and view them all.
