helo guys

i follows this tutorial and when i got to load the texture in to oc2 i received this message "cannot convert texture pac2pal error"

O2 can convert ONLY 32bit Textures. When you have a Texture whit 16bit or 24bit come this error in too O2.

And compression switch off (ie for TGA format)

but i save it as 32bit as it say in the tutorial...

note that when i open a new file in photoshop i cannot save a 32bit color image as a tga file only 8. then i have an option to save as a 32 bit

Are you sure you're working in RGB colour space?

[nerod 11]

yes! but as i said it won't let me save it as tga file unless i choose 8 bit

i did: color 8 bit and resolution is 32 bit

We must be speaking different languages, here. 32 bit images have 8 bits per channel and 4 channels (8 x 4 = 32 for RGBA). It hasn't anything to do with resolution.

thank u Max Power and sory for complicating things,

this what i got from the tutorial:

Start Photoshop and create a new file with the dimensions of 1024x1024 pixels. „File“ > „New“.

Now fill this picture wiht blue.. „Edit“ > „Fill...“. The Blue color is an aid when working in the UV-Editor, you'll see what I mean.

Save this file as „TUT_Wall_CO.TGA“ to „TUT_Wall“ folder. Compression: 32Bit/Pixel.

when he mentions "32 bit" he means to save it

now when i click save, i have option for resolution, then... i choose 32bit...

now... i dont know where the problem is, i asume that maybe the color bit

I save my TGA's as 24bit. PanitShop Pro 7

Works fine.

Indeed if u save a _co.tga you only need 24 bits.
