Custom Patch Insignia Larger than 128 x 128?

Recommended Posts

Guest

I have tried to make a .pbo mod for my unit's insignia but if I have a .paa larger than 128 x 128 it shows up in the arsenal but as a grey rectangle and doesn't appear on any uniforms when I choose it. What am I doing wrong?

The image file for the insignia can be anything from 128x128, 256x256, 512x512, and possibly even higher. Must be squared, and as far as I know, must have transparency. Even if the patch fills up the whole space, and there is no visible transparency, I believe the .paa file still needs to read as though it is.

I had mine as 400x400. Does it have to be a multiple of 8?

Yeah, can't be 400x. I believe its as you said, multiples of 8. So basically only 64x, 128x, 256x, 512x, etc work

You confuse, the size of the original format .png of any equilateral size.
On the PNG format logo:
- you need to make a transparent background
- save in TGA format
- convert to PAA format.
 If you do everything correctly, viewing the PAA logo in TexView 2 - you will see the logo correctly.

@lex__1Yes it looks great as a .paa in TexView2. This isn't my first rodeo! It just fails to load in game when I tried it in 400x400. @Siege-ASays is has to be a multiple of 8.
