Hi I started messing with UI skins today. When i started i had all 4 tiles working and showing up properly, but after i did a few alterations to the 4 tiles and tried again my 4th tile no longer shows up for some reason. can someone look at these and tell me whats going on here?

Are you sure you didn't accidently resize them or save them incorrectly (wrong bit-depth or compression?)
 
i am fairly sure let me check again.

EDIT: yes everything is fine from what i can see. i have even gone as far as rebuilding tile 4 three times from scratch and im still not getting it to work.

EDIT2: i just extracted the the default tile 4 from the mpg. and imported and set it up for the interface, and its still not showing either. is my World Edit messing up or is it something im using for file conversion? im using Irfanview, MS Paint, and BLPconv.
 
Hey care to show me where you learned about editting the UI? If ya do I'll go look and see if I can find what is wrong with yours. :eek:
 
lol didn't really learn it from anywhere. kind of figured it out myself. its not to hard really. you just need 4 images with a certain dimensions, Then Convert them to .blp format, import them, and then go to Advanced->Game Interface. Click use custom interface, and then replace the following paths with the 4 tile images.

Image - Console Texture 1 UI\Console\Human\HumanUITile01
Image - Console Texture 2 UI\Console\Human\HumanUITile02
Image - Console Texture 3 UI\Console\Human\HumanUITile03
Image - Console Texture 4 UI\Console\Human\HumanUITile04
 
Hmm not sure I understand it very well myself. Sorry. I did take a look. Good luck.:cool:

How should I work with you if you keep ignoring my private messages.
I mean seariously, I sent you like 10 now.

On-Topic: You have to use the pathes wich were give on the website.
 
Have you changed the alpha channels at all? (Black = transparent, White = opaque)

no i haven't because i don't know how to do that. what should they be set to and how do i change them. maybe one of the format conversion programs i am using has done something to them.

You have to use the pathes wich were give on the website.

I would use the paths on the website except i made these UI tiles myself from scratch using MS Paint.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
