Background texture...

[(T)r@cer]

Everytime I want to open a .gif background texture I get a error saying that its not possible to convert .gif to .pac. I dont want to convert the background, I just want to open it. I did exactly the same as in the m16 tutorial, but it is not working for me, any ideas? http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Thanks.

Texture must be 16x32x64x128x256x512 in size for conversion into pac or paa. Put picture into background without converting isn`t possible in O2 Lite.

I'm having a problem with background texture. I followed the instructions in the tutorial "how do make an M16", which is simple enough, but when I right click and load texture, no image appears, and I'm trying to load the image they supplied for the purpose of making an image plane! http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Is there some setting that I have to turn on?

Same thing is happening with me. When i click on load texture, nothing appears no matter what image i try. I've read all the tutorials and nothing seems to be there to help ::shrugs::. Anyone having any luck with this? It seems most people i've talked to are having the same problems as well    http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

Ummm...it worked for me!

Try using textures of sizes 128x128 or 256x256 (or a combination of that two values) - I used 128x256 for my Predator model making and TEXTURE MAPPING (very easy when you learn how to do it) and it worked perfectly - you can see the results in this (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard301/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=38;t=11076) thread!

Is it homemade texture or from the game?

Is the texture showing in texView utility?

I remember having the same problem ( i cannot test it - still waiting for new unlock codes..).
Sometimes i could load textures and sometime it simply didn't work! It has nothing to do with wether they're visible/viewble in TexView or not!! http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Not homemade, it´s the file that was included from BIS to use in the tutorial.   One called m16_FM.gif  It´s 512x256 and suggested by BIS to use.   How about someone who is able to load that texture, post their options setup for O2?  Seems I&#39;m not the only one having this problem.

PS. Just remembered, in the viewport, you press &#39;a&#39; to get into the background texture edit mode, you can either click and drag a box and then right click in that box and select load texture, or you can just click anywhere and load a texture. Is there any difference? (nothing happens in either case so maybe both ways are wrong) http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I had the same thing first, I could not load the textures, but then I realised I had Oxygen installed in a wrong directery.

Try to install O2light in: C:&#92;ProgramFile&#92;Oxygen and the O2 viewer in: C:&#92;O2viewer. You will see that all the options are working this time together with loading the background textures. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I still can&#39;t...
texture doesn&#39;t appear though there&#39;s no error message...hmmm

[Konyak-2]

Ok, I found -MY- problem. I installed it in program files and it still didn&#39;t work, so I went through the options settings and found one setting I missed. It´s the one that sets the path to the .dll folder. I wouldn&#39;t be surprized if this was also the problem for some of the others that hadn&#39;t gotten their background image to appear.

So under file-> options, set the .dll folder to the oxygen dir your running your O2 from and it should work.
