Title: JPG/TGA in FRED?
Post by: TopAce on May 07, 2004, 10:47:02 am: Can I somehow force FRED to read JPG backgrounds?
It keeps saying that the requested file was not found. I use your marvelous mod switching system, all files are in the appropriate places. I also tried using the -fredhtl flag. In theory, the -jpgtga or -32bit parameters are unreadable for FRED.

There was a bug in CFILE (just noticed it yesterday) that made JPG and DDS files not be read from a VP or outside of the base data directory. This is fixed in CVS now. You can do a new build yourself, wait for a new one, or just put any JPG textures in data for now. Also, Fred (really just code.lib from fs2_open) needs to be compiled with DevIL support to actually load a JPG.

Post by: taylor on May 09, 2004, 10:13:37 am: All of this should be fixed now. -jpgtga will work as expected and Fred will initialize the graphics subsystem at 32bit color when -jpgtga is used. It will continue to be 16bit color otherwise.

So with -jpgtga you get something like this:

That what you wanted? :)

All of the changes are in CVS but I don't want to flood the market with another build right now. There are already builds that should hopefully be 3.6 before long. There seems to be a couple of last minute problems that need to be verified and delt with.

It's possible that you might find something interesting here (http://icculus.org/~taylor/fso/testing) though ;7

Can see why you wouldn't want to make a release thread today though :)

Damn, that looks good!

I've got a few bugs to sort out in fred before I want to release a fred2_open build.

Do you have that, too?
One more thing I noticed in the newest FRED:
Briefing icons are not displayed.

Can I ask you to erase my account, so I can re-register?
My boot is full with registering Mantis. It is time to see what that thing is. (I never could get throught the login :nervous: ).
