Custom image shows up black in game

[Gamer-3ac24a5e7f4beb96 4]

I am using the noticeboard object to create town name signs. I put the jpg into the field marked "texture#0" in the attributes window. The picture shows up fine, but only if the player physically bumps into the sign. Otherwise, it just shows all black. What am I doing incorrectly?

What size is your image? it has to be power of two. hard to say anything else with so little information

 

Edit: that's probably not it... maybe LOD issue?

Thanks gc8. I'll try resizing it to 800 by 400

the size has to be power of two. so valid values are  1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 etc

each side as to be any power of two? or the total number of pixels has to be a power of two?

Long ago i had a similar issue woth jpg showin black from some distance. Since then i m usong .paa files only.

 

There is also a .paa exporting plugin for gimp out on github. This makes paa converting easy with gimp...
