How do i add posters to a map (or just pics)

[Jet]

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?

[Jet]

Ehh... I have no idea what that is. Anyway, it is .bmp

[pizzaboy314]

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! :)
