Story Description Image[Solved]

**Noj** · 10-01-2010, 06:11 AM

Created a image (PNG format) and set it to be used as imgfile, it is in the same folder as the custom_story_settings.cfg file.

<Main
...
ImgFile = "screen3.png"
...
/>

but the Game crashes when I click on the story name to load it, the hpl2 documents say almost nothing on this image that I can find so im guessing maybe this picture has to be a certain resolution? format? or compression? why is this image causing the game to crash?

I tried just changing the file type to .jpg the decription and such loaded but the image didint it was still default. I then re-loaded the png image in GIMP and re-exported it into a .jpg but it crashed again. :/

What are the dimensions of the image?

**Noj** · 10-01-2010, 06:56 AM

W949 X H702

I just tested an image at those dimensions, and yes it didn't display. I then changed them to 300x600 and it worked, give that a try.

I tried a 1024x768 image earlier, and that worked fine.

Thanks alot 1024X768 Works and it looks way better then I thought it would turn out. (Figured i would have to recolor and shade it alot)
