[HUDBOT]: How to create own .pngs? (aka HALP ME!)

Ok, so i got photoshop CS... create new blank file, transparent bkgrnd, 300x300 (just for testing)... draw a circle in the middle... fill it w/ red... 75% opacity. Save as gui.test.png... add appropriate call to hudbot.cs...

HudBot::AddCustomPng("test", "200 200", "Background");

and all i get is a 300x300 flickering white box :(

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong... hudbot works fine, I just can't make my own pngs (newb w/ no idea how) :p

HALP PLZ :D


thx

I have no idea what that problem is, but two things:

1) Tribes cannot load pngs on its own.
2) Hudbot.cs does not serve any purpose but loading non replacement png huds.

ah.
i know #1 :huh:

and 2 you have a point.

alot of stuff in the Andrew folder (t2, etc) doesn't work, dunno how to make it work. skys and clear weapons work fine tho.

anywho, i'm trying to make the custom ping for hudbot to load :p (w/ script)

but i'm doing something wrong in the creation of the image... need HALP

yes

There are instructions.

At one point, they say the image's dimensions must be powers of two.

i can't get the fucking jaggies around sarcastick's health/jet meter to go away

RTFM, powers of 2.

Limbo's problem is beyond me.

oh yeahhhh

i'm retarded

it worked

i love you guys

:lovepink:

:heart:

Haha

I forgot about the powers of 2 when I first started :roller:
