Magical Mysterious Upside-down Images


(Ancalagon) #1

I’ve created some levelshots and some cursor hints for my mod, but they are mysteriously drawn upside down - while all the default ET ones are still the right way up.

Has anyone else run into this problem?
The images are all the same size as the ET ones and are uncompressed TGAs with alpha channels.

Same thing happened with my BAR icon. I never did fix it…

I think in TGA format it’s possible to specify the origin.
(A little remark: I use GIMP and when I save pictures as TGA’s GIMP ask’s if the origin should be the lower left corner.)

So I think it’s possible that your graphic program saves it with the wrong origin.

Ok, I’ll have a look, I didn’t realise TGAs had an origin. I’ve been using Paint Shop Pro.

Edit: I’ve opened the tgas for the cursor hints up in Photoshop and saved them again. It seems to have fixed it. I’m assuming the same thing will work for the levelshots.
