Hey all,
I've returned after all this time. The 3.6.10 update has restored my attention, as have a few SCP campaigns. I'm going to be working on projects that might just turn into a campaign or something of sorts. In the meantime, if something is up, I'll just holler out.
Note: Was formely know as BlackEye, but renamed to this username as I remember it easily

My first problem is making a squadron insignia. I have the image file that I wish to use. What do I do from there?

It should have the same size as the others (look around in the VPs to find them) and be DDS, TGA, JPG (I think) or 256-colour PCX. Save into \data\players\squads and it should work. IIRC

I tried all those. Apart from pcx, the formats didnt work. I used the 256 colours and the correct size, but it wouldnt display in-game.
The logo is my display pic.

Did you try converting it to PCX? I'm not sure how big a difference it might make but it's worth a try.

As I said, I did try it and it registered but the image would not display. I think theres more to it than just using 256 colours.

No, where? In the barracks, on your fighter?

Sorry for the delayed response. Ummm, was trying to display it in the barracks. Don't think I checked if it would render on my fighter

I'll solve this later. I got other parts of my project Im working on. If I could post screenies, you'd see what I've been doing. What format images should I use?

JPG is probably best. PNG has better quality, but it has a much bigger filesize.

It's not allowing me to upload images.

Upload them to tinypic or so, works just as well
