I have a problem with my modtools. I have an image which I want to convert into a .iwi so I could use it as a background or a loadscreen for a mod.
The image is fine before and after converting into .iwi. The problem arises after I compile and start up the mod. The image gets extremely pixelated.
This happens for both, menu bg and loadscreen.
I've tried with multiple different images. (Resolutions as high as 1920 x 1200) which I then converted into 1024 x 1024.
I've tried both, photoshopping a .tga and making that into a material with AssMan, as well as tried converting a .png to .iwi with Jarizz's texture compiler. Both with same result.
Also I made a test with the compiler.
I used this .png image as my original picture:
(Scaled it down a bit from 1920 x 1200 so the upload would be fast)
I received the 1024 x 1024 resized .iwi file and converted it back into a .png just to see if the .iwi was broken. Got this as the new image:
That's all good for now. I added the .iwi into my mod/images/ folder and renamed it into menu_mp_background_main2.iwi. I added
into my mod.csv.
Then I compiled the .iwd and .ff and it gave no errors. When I load the mod, I get this as a result:
