I finally reskinned an object, but...

I finally reskinned an object in PhotoFiltre, but when I started TRZ and went into surveyor, the object (sign) was blank. Anyone know why?

I can try and figure it out, but i would need to see all of the files. Save it to a cdp and send it to me to look at. Pm me for my email.

Check the size of your textures, they have to be in a pixel count of powers of 2 and uncompressed in either .tga or .bmp format.

Powers of 2

2x2, 4x4, 16x16....... up to 1024x1024. Alternatively typically 64x512 or 512x64. Maximum difference is 8 times.

there are many reasons as to why they it isn't working. a simple checklist for finding the reason I use is (in no particular order):
--right file format? (tga or bmp)
--texture file pointing to the right file? (check file type here too!)
--file size (multipuls of 2)
--config file (right kuid, username, mesh, etc)*

*only when the object isn't showing up at all

The pixel count is 512 x 256. How do I change it?

 

[narrowgauge]

512x256 is OK. They are both powers of 2. No need to change them. You can check. Start with 2 and keep multiplying by 2.

Go through the list that PerRock posted, those are the other things that could cause your problem.

1. Do you mean the Notepad file (sign.texture) file? It says the sign is a tga file

2. Good.

3. I didn't rename the object file or give it a new KUID, but the sign shows in surveyor as blank. Do I need to do this? If so, how do I assign a new KUID?

 

[PerRock]

the last one you shouldn't need to worry about, if the object itself (minus the textures) is showing up. the texture file is the notepad file. is the reskin you did a .tga file?

Yes it is.
