How to edit the faction radar image

[someguy11 0]

I can replace the main menu image by following KW WE's SampleMod example

(apt_MainMenu_2)

 

but when I've tried similar steps for the radar image, it doesn't change ingame

(apt_TacticalHUDRadar_1)

Are you trying to show us images, because they did not show up in your post?

(apt_TacticalHUDRadar_1)

 

how exactly did you do it with the HUDRadar apt?

The brackets were to indicate the names of the textures I replaced

---

 

In WE's SampleMod, there is the folder/directory:

"ART:AptUI/MainMenu/apt_MainMenu_2.dds"

 

I've copied the same folders & xml from SampleMod to my mod's folder and changed the file to a .tga & as well as making the "ART:AptUI/MainMenu/apt_MainMenu_2.tga"

 

In the ART:AptUI directory, I've made a new folder called TacticalHUDRadar. In there I've put the apt_TacticalHUDRadar_1.tga

Then I made the appropriate modified duplicate of the Texture.xml

---

changing the id from "apt_MainMenu_2" to "apt_TacticalHUDRadar_1"

"ART:AptUI/MainMenu/apt_MainMenu_2.tga" to "ART:AptUI/TacticalHUDRadar/apt_TacticalHUDRadar_1.tga"

 

 

but then ingame the radar faction images are still unchanged

...was the wrong file id replaced or is there something else wrong?

Like bibber said, try again with dds file Format. Also i'd like to know what you ment by changing into .tga, i hope you did not just change the file extension?!

TGAs are not being compiled by WrathEd. Use DDS.

My replacement unit textures, and the mainmenu texture are all TGAs and they work

 

I've saved the file as a DXT5 dds then tried again; it still doesn't work ingame

I'm really wanting to change the faction radar images;

 

can someone make a minimod, and upload it, so that I can compare the differences and check why mine doesn't work?

Here it is

factionlogo.zip

just as i thought, remove the line

    <Include type="all" source="TacticalHUDRadar/Texture.xml" />

from the MainMenu.xml and make a separate one for the TacticalHUDRadar. Thats it.
