New problem with squad.xml

[strider67 0]

i got my info up but now the picture won't load. i get an error message saying the 58x64 is not 2^n. I resized the logo and put it back where it needs to be(in same web folder as the squad.xml) and i still get the error message. this is what my logo *SHOULD* look like. Feel free to change it so it works and get it back to me.

Because it has to be 64x64 or 128x128 can't be 64x128 or something uneven.

that's just it, i did resize it to 64x64 and it still won't work properly. argghhhh....rage building inside, wanting to chunk computer out into street and hit with an AT-4.

If it has that message it usually means your picture isn't the right size, the picture you have posted there is 58x64, you would need to make it 64x64

Go to www.opflash.co.nz/wolf/wolf.jpg

Download my squad logo, chuck it in, see if it works, if it doesn't work, it's a problem with the squad.xml rather than the pic. If it does work, then you need to resize your squad logo.

Ahem, where do you save the image? It seems your webspace provider doesn't allow images to be linked directly (see your own post above). Maybe that's the problem?

Ok, note the place where the logo is, it has no path. Make sure you just put the file name of the logo.

Otherwise I can't understand why it's not working for you.

Doesnt the squad Logo needs to be a .paa file? if not , then this changed with resistance, then bevore it had to be a paa file!

it must be 64x64, (64x128) does not work!

Yes, this really seems to be a problem. When OPF tries to download the image, it gets the error placeholder ("remote linking forbidden") instead of the image. As the placeholder size is 150x150, it cannot be shown in OFP.

PM me if u want me to host your logo.

It happened to me as well. SQUAD.XML and picture were correctly written and located on server, but only text data would be shown during the game.

Once I would make correction to the SQUAD.XML, e.g. change description of player, seems like server would erase cached file and show picture and text properly.
