I have played around with GIMP as well... not the most user friendly... but then again I got used to Radiant... since GIMP is recommended in several places on this site, it would be nice if someone made a nice tutorial describing how to make CoD decals with alpha layers... hint, hint...

I have succeeded in making those changes. I used Photoshop though it is only 30 days. I figure I can make any changes in 30 days lol

Ok i just use DDS converter 2.1 also, but i found out that you have to make the jeg 1024X1024. Save in as .dds DCTX5 and 7 mip_maps. (i think it was 7)
nullFew tips for coding. 1. Keep the script as short as possible. 2. Don't comment every line. Only comment portions where they may be needed to point something out. 3. Don't over complicate the script, keep it organized and easy to read. These help you find simple errors and makes it easy to make changes.

There is a DDS plugin, just the only way to get it that I know of is to email a guy who "couldnt put it on his website" bc the maker wouldnt allow him. http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=3475 Or, just search google: GIMP dds plugin...

(i think it was 7) playername, how does that give you an alpha layer? I use dds converter as well for custom textures. But how does using a converter give you an alpha layer for a decal that you make? that is the question here... edited on Aug. 1, 2007 09:45 pm by macklebee
