Yet another pcx faction graphics thread: report logos

[Maniac]

No, it isn't about blue boxes around bases for a change.

There's another common problem which I can't find answered on first sight. Often when using own-made faction graphics, the small report logo isn't displayed properly. Instead the larger report logo is used, and as a consequence you can only see the central part of it. Does anyone know what's causing this and how it can be fixed?

Below a pic to make clearer what I'm talking about.

Dont know for shure ofcourse but would first look to see shat size logo you can use and have it all show.

I've seen the same effect with logos of the original factions. If you "switch sides" during a game and then bring up the F2 screen (or any similar report screen), then the logo of your original faction doesn't fit in the display. Don't know any way to correct this, however.

After experimenting, I found a way to correct the situation described in my last post. Perhaps this will help you.

Playing as the Drones (before switching sides), here's what the relevant portion of my F2 screen looks like:

After switching to the Spartans, here's the same portion of the F2 screen:

As you can see, the Drone and Spartan logos from the previous screen have been swapped, and the Drone logo doesn't display properly. I now save the game and reload:



Now the logos are the correct size and color.

EDIT: Correct images.

Petek: I can't see your images

Thanks for pointing that out. Hope it's now fixed.

Aha! So the problem is not with modified faction graphics, but with me messing with the scenario editor when testing new faction graphics. Another mystery solved! Thanks Petek!!
