in some of sandcrawlers maps there are poster or pictures advetising the site.
i would like to put pictures on some of the walls on my map (not the whole wall, just in the center or somthing) like a banner that says speedycheese made this map.
so id like to do that with rc pictures and some of my own, please help
I hope release my first map soon!!!! :o !!!!! still trying to add music thoe :P
you can make your poster by stretching it to a binary square size (128x128, 256x256, 512x512, etc) or you can just create a binary size square picture in photoshop or something. then you can just import it into the editor and put it by a wall by adding a sheet the size of the poster and messing with the scaling and panning of your texture until it fits. :mrgreen:
what question did you have about music?
iv figured out how to put swrc pictures in. but it never imports my own pictures.(darn it) :evil:
and the music question... i want to add music to a map im making. i dowloaded some star wars music from www.dockingbay101.com (http://www.dockingbay101.com) and would like to put a song in my map. i cant get swrc sounds to work because the battle music thing under level properties thing doesnt do the trick and i cant add to static mesh because my acter properties doesnt open up.
i also need the converter so that i can put my own dowloaded music on.
i also need to know how to scale static meshes. right click scale does nothing?
thanx for the help. (your map assault ship zone i very cool, i like how u have a battle going on outside.
what formar and size do you have your custom pictures in for importing?
sorry i don't know how to import music or sound or whether or not there is a converter. all i know is, even when I matched my import audio to the correct .wav specs, it never imported at all. :(
what formar and size do you have your custom pictures in for importing?
not shure what u meen. i just go to import then look in mypictures and only wallpaper sized ones show up. even those dont import though.
are your pictures you wanna import in bitmap format?
hate to say it but i dont know what that is.
does your file end in .jpg?
oh that. yes it does. they are regular pictures.
how do i scale static meshes , right click scale doesnt work.
if you take your .jpg picture, open it in some picture program, and save it as a bitmap picture (.bmp) you will be able to import it.
to scale a staticmesh, go to its properties, then Display, and either change the value under drawscale to something else to scale the whole thing, or go to drawscale 3D to scale individual dimensions.
oh and if you import a picture, i would change the package name to a new one, so you have your own package. and then save the package once you imported the picture.
i'll do that thank you very much :)
have you seen my map assaultship zone yet? there are some star wars movie posters in there.
yes i have seen your map. as a matter of fact i have it. its pretty wicked awsome.
(sorry , but im having trouble changing my jpeg to bmp. in the pictures properties it say its jpeg but wont let me change it.
there were not any pictures in your map. have u released a more updated version.
(i bet the pictures are now in those fuzzy untextured spots. labled 1 2 3 4 5 6.
i have succesfully changed my picture to .bmp and it now shows up on the inport screen. but when i select the packadge i want to import it to (GUI content because its small) it doesnt show up :cry: frusterating sad face.
I have been trying to import too. I have tried with it before but gave up after some hours. Now when I saw this post I want to try again. When I import (click at "files" then "import" then "ok" after choosing package and stuff. My texture dont show up in the screen. It's like if it never was imported. :S Is it anything else you have to do too? Whats wrong, what have I missed?
what dimensions are your pictures?
Ehh... I have no idea what that is. Anyway, it is .bmp
dimensions is how high and how wide the picture is. you can find that by opening the properties of the picture in my computer and clicking on summary.
generally you should keep your maps on a even number, ie 128 x 128, 256 x 256, 512 x 512. I prefer to use dds files as textures but bmp files work for wall art. What you may want to do is use an art app like photoshop or paintshop and adjust you bmp to one of the sizes I mentioned. Then you want to save it someplace easy to find. Then open Unreal Editor, go to the texture browser and select import. Find your pic and import it to MyLevel/Textures/pic_name. If you've done everything right you will find in in the mylevel package for your map. After you make a brush, select one face of it and use your texture for that face. Grab a neutral metal texture for the other faces of the cube and you're done.
Here in sample 1 you can see the settings I used:

Here in Sample 2 is the texture, I just tossed it all over the map lol:

Took all of about 10 mins to grab a pic of what I was doing in udk, edit it in photoshop, load it into RC's Unreal and play the map. Hope this helps you out. <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
oh yeah that's something i just realized. DON'T LISTEN TO ME. don't import it to your own package because then you have to include it in your map release. lol
Oh thank you so mutch! :D It worked! I made a new package and a new group named tests. Then I painted a commando in paint that I saved with 512-512. I imported it without changing anything in the window and hell yeah! :D It's in! Someone should make a small tutorial about how to do this. If not your going to do it, I will! :)
i got this to work to but when i play assault ship zone the pictures dont show up in game
Are the textures blank?
ya sortof black and white grainty looky
its like the twilight zone texture
the zero texture.
i hope my map doesnt do that.
hey i think u kan also import .Gif and maybe u have a pc screen that has a gif play onit repeating in bakground. i dont think anyone tried it yet maybe Darklord. :)
