I'm trying to add some custom pics for my map, But I cant even get passed the first stage of making one!.

Ive just recently downloaded photoshop, added the DDS plugins so I can convert it to my map. When I've finished making my pic, I go to save. I then add the other details into that Nvidia windows, But when I click save. I get this error that sais, It must be a multiple of 4, wtf does that even mean!? lol

I'm really new with photoshop and this whole issue with saving my pic as DDS is driving me nuts.

Can anyone help me with this please! Really need to add some custom stuff to my map

make sure ur pics are the correct size. 1024x512 , 32x128 etc.
It must be a multiple of 4,you understand now.?

I think the whole multiple of 4 things stupid, But yer will try that, thx

It's a multiple of 2 by the way, and that's just how the engine works, as does every other engine based on the Q3 one

srry if my post seemed short,didnt meen it to be harse.

u can use any size for width and height doesnt have to be 512x512, can be 28x512 or 512x1024 aslong as its a multiple of 4.

in photoshop when u make a new image set the size u will be using for the custom decal/texture,ie 128x256
to resize a image in photoshop,image drop down menu/imagesize.

its best not to resize images so if iam using pics from net etc i tend to make a new image with sizes i need 256x256 etc and then open pic i want and select all then drag and drop it in to my new image so it doesnt resize it.custom textures look poor ingame when stretched.

Yer I got it working guys :D, thx!, I've just uploaded my first pic onto my map and it looks great! :)
