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 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. :(

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.
