Multiplayer logo

[Evil_Clown 0]

i cannot figure out how to make a custom logo to use in mp, i have seen all the tutorials but i cant get it to work.

i made a 256*256 png and uploaded it to armedassault.eu and then i put the link in my user in arma. but hte image doesnt show, help me im going f*cking crazy.

[Guest Ti0n3r]

I think it has to be a *jpg.

[Evil_Clown 0]

Do i need to have the image on my computer too?

[Evil_Clown 0]

I mean, the logo turns up on the site, but not ingame. it says it cant find it on the computer- how do i fix it

[W0lle 1050]

Moving.

First of all call it logo.paa/pac /jpg and use squad.xml.

If armedassault.eu hosts squad.xml then upload the logo.

Else you have to upload/host the logo and squad.xml yourself via the provided data space you probably got from your provider or some space somewhere else.

Can`t explain it more simple for you

dunno what this is but I can`t find a link to Squad.XML at this moment

Sq XML editor

edit* it looks pretty dead on that site armedassault.eu

[Evil_Clown 0]

Hmm ok. so maybe its the provider thats messing this up...

I dont have any personal FTP so whats the best logo host available?

[ShadowY 0]

I don`t know...maybe a clan

I had a look at a other armedassault.eu site, you probably mentioned this one.

Why don`t you contact them to help you out with the logo?

AA.eu

You can find a download here

Squad XML Pro download

Here is my personal xml on armedassault.eu, the flag is just for testing but it shows:

http://www.armedassault.eu/squadxml/16839175.xml

So i copy this link into my profile, but only a black square turns up and "Alabama" printed bellow, so it connects to the server but it doesnt add the flag.

I can only talk about the old version I use/host myself.

Contact them to find out the problem, that`s the only suggestion I have for you.

The picture is in .png format. It should be jpg, pac or paa.

If you still have problems let me know and send me the XML details via PM on this board - i'll put the XML on the GOL server for you. But I think you got it now, as the above person says - change the file format as PNG is not supported.

armedassault.eu asks to upload a .PNG and they probably convert it somehow, so that`s not the problem.

[Evil_Clown 0]

yeah you cant upload anything other than png to armedassault.eu

This is my xml from arma xml hoster.

<!DOCTYPE squad SYSTEM "squad.dtd">

If i put in Image.jpg it screams "ERROR!!!"

And the image does not appear.

This is the image im trying to use

[NeZz_DK 1]

After what I can see the .paa file defined in the XML file doesn't exist on the site and thats the reason it isn't ingame. have you tried to upload a .jpg og convert it to .paa your self with texView 2 and then reupload it?

<picture>Image1</picture>

what image?? I see just text.

I thought it should be:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"><picture>Image1.paa</picture>

Or am I missing something too...

Yeah i use PGN too as it doesn't have to have a white background. then convert that to paa.
