fixed it :)

i opend the background_american_w.iwi converted it into a dds file. open that file in photoshop. size is 1024x512 px then i change the canvas size into 2048x512.

make a nice picture save it en it wokrs good now :)

Ok so here is the problem im having.. I got through everything great! pic came out and everything... went through several times changing and tweeking... but the image that comes up on the cod2 screen when starting is really drawn out.. It isnt crisp and clean like the original picture. mine is kinda blury and pixilated if ya know what i mean..
I tried changing the size and stuff but nothing seems to fix it.
I took a screen shot of it and it came out perfect but on the game its nasty looking...
What did I do wrong?

this is the screen shot but it dont look nowhere close to this clean on my game.. but i want it to..

Nice tut.

Can i get that picture you chose?
and i get 1 big image not 1 side picture 1 side black.

are you talking to me Tommy?

no im talking to Jednite, so is it possible you can send me that iwi?

As for kammo, theres not much you can do about that. When you have it working, the picture always looks a little less "clean", even for me, but it shouldnt be enough to make a difference, it's just different dimensions than on your desktop. Same with map loading screens.

As for tommy, I'm sorry but I don't have that iwd anymore, I have erased my drive twice since that tut, but if you follow the tut I'm sure you can come up with something nice.


edit: when I looked at the full size version of the pic you posted kammo, I noticed that it is not near the size of the cod menu. However, different desktop settings(like I'm running 1280x960, and if yours is smaller, like 800x600 then it will look different on your comp than other peoples) Anyway, if you try to put a small image as the menu, the game will automatically resize it to fit your screen, which is why pixelation may occur.

Oh ok, that makes sence, well I will try to mess with the sizes a bit...

Thanks Jednite

hey Jednite, i just read this and folloed everything, thing is, what im doing is getting the image the right size and pasting it over the original.
I then come to saving it as a DDS. file but when i press save on the nvidia thing, it says,

Image height and width must be a multiple of 4

i dont know what is going on and im really confused, could you please help me out, thanks

Flocky

the resolution of a dds must be 2^x
x = what ever you want it to be
so a resulution of 512x512 is possible but not 800x600 cause it cant be devided by 2.
i would go with 1024x1024

perhaps that solved your problem.

yes this helps a lot, but the image is a bit too big, lol
is it because your image must be on the left half of the canvas so it doesnt stretch?

could you also please try to think what the problem with this forum i made could be?

AND when i put loadscreens on my maps, it doesnt show, the picture just stays as teh custom one (pale purple and pale cyan check)
????????????????????????????????????????

PLEASE HELP THANKS
