RE: Import pictures into a custom story? - Wrathborn771 - 06-21-2012
I can't seem to find the option to change the type to Solid Defuse, do I go to Settings>User Defined Variables and then change the Type to Solid Defuse? If so, I don't know what to do becuase there is no option for Solid Defuse there.
Ahh nvm! Found it! xD
Thanks for the help!

Well you made me paint

I got almost everything done now, but when opening LevelEditor and loading the fanart through Decals (O), it comes as mirrored in the map, for example, if the text in the picture is "hello", it comes out as "olleh".
Did I do something wrong? I did everything you said.

I got the mirrored problem solved by flipping the picture horizontolly in photoshop.
But I can't see the fanart in-game. D:
Please, help me!

RE: Import pictures into a custom story? - Traggey - 06-21-2012
That's your problem right there, I'd suggest you rescale the images to either 1024 X 1024 or 2048 X 2048, 1024 X 1024 being less memory consuming, textures must be scaled in a square power of two, which yours are not.

If you want it to be paintings, then just retexture the paintings but don't replace them with the original ones.
