.paa image in action menu has no color

[Eraknelo 10]

Hey people,

I have searched just about everywhere.

Used 2 different editors (Paint.NET, Photoshop CS6).

Used 2 different file formats (.PNG, .TGA).

Added alpha channel in Photoshop, with different transparency levels (black to white).

But, I can't for the life of me get my image in my action menu to show any kind of color.

No matter what color/size/image I use, it's Always this dark-grayish.

Here's my addAction code:

_object addAction ["<img image='scripts\images\pick_up.paa' /><t color='#00FF00'>Pick Up</t>", "scripts\building\object_action.sqf", [_object, "pick-up"], 999, false, false, "", "vehicle _this == _this"];

Anyone have any clue what I'm doing on?

Thanks in advance,

- Eraknelo

What?! You can do that!? Neat!

What happens if you put the color tag outside the img tag?

Tried that, no effect D:

Ever played the Wasteland mod? It has ugly orange icons next to the action. In Arma 3 as well, I believe.

what are the dimensions? Also shouldn't it be DXT1 or DXT5 in order for it to be in color?

I had the same problems trying to import some of my custom HUD elements into the game from Arma2. But maybe as cobra mentions, they need to be DXT1 or DxT5 for Arma3 (w/e that means).

Could you elaborate on this DXT you are talking about?

Can you send me this icon picture?

the texture needs to be in the format 1:1 or 1:2 to be displayed it correctly, otherwise it will be transparent like yours.

For anybody still looking for the answer:

 

Put the color attribute in the image tag.

 

Like so:

<img image='scripts\images\pick_up.paa' color="your_hex_color"/>
