That would be great... all i need is textures, mapping isnt the problem...

[xtreameracer01]

Do you have the patch installed? You know, the Bspmaps with the models folder in it... other than that, idk

[ALF]

i dont think i have anything really close to Warlock, but ill see if i can edit some of my textures.

[xtreameracer01]

Ok...Thank you very much...i have tried to make my own textures but when i convert them to the right format, size and quality they still dont work at all...on iris at least...i can see and use the textures i made in the mapping program but wont load/show up in iris...

:) do u have paint shop pro?

[xtreameracer01]

No, i just use Windows Paint and a image converter to make the pics from .bmp to .tga

[ALF]

o thats to bad it works much better with paint shop pro. if u have limewire u could download it thats were i got mine just make sure u download one with a key generartor.

[xtreameracer01]

I have to try that when i get back into town... if its not to much to ask ALF, do u mind if u would send me your Halo textures sometime this weekend? So when i get back in, i can get right into mapping Warlock...

[ALF]

Ya no prob i just have to get them together and ill help out if u need anything else.

[xtreameracer01]

You can either PM them to me in a file (if you can do that,havent tried) or send it to my email [email protected]

call the email "Halo Textures",if u send it in a email then ill know for sure what it is

[Buddy4point0]

xtreamracer you said you use windows paint so do i do u save your files a 24-bit or 256 colors

[xtreameracer01]

i think 24-bit .bmp's...why?

[Produkt]

NO BMP's FOO!

Targa files! The iris engine works with uncompressed Targa files it supposrts 24bit and 32bit!

There are important things you need to know about the textures aswell!

Each image must only have 256 Unique colors! that doesnt mean you have to use the crappy windows 256 colors! no they can be ANY 256 colors. every program is different on how you do this, so it is up to you to figure out how

Question: What's the difference between 24bit and 32bit

Answer: a 24bit image has 3 channels R (red) G (green) and B (blue) each manages a color on the color spectrum. these 3 togeather make up a colorfull image! now a 32bit Image has those same 3 channels PLUS! it has an Alpha Channel! this channel indicates to programs that display 32bit Targa images that there is an alpha transparency to the image!

The extra channel adds to the size of the final image, even if you dont use it!

The big problem right now is Iris currently doesn't support alpha channels. so we sugest you save your memory card space and save all textures as 24bit TGA's

I would also like to point out that the psp doesnt support 24bit images, so! to compensate for this problem Iris will add a blank alpha channel to 24bit TGA's effectivly making a 24bit tga and a 32bit tga the same exact size in Vram (Dram)

That is todays rundown on Iris and the texture system! Keep on modding!

[xtreameracer01]

NO NO NO......i dont try to use .bmp in iris, i make my image into a .bmp then convert it into .tga using something called "Deluxe Image Converter" or something like that...

And.....so......do i save it as 24Bit or 256 color TGA's when i convert my images to make them the correct format?

[Produkt]

each program is different It is up to you do figure out what the proper method is.

[xtreameracer01]

I've given up on trying to make my own textures...i put them in the right format and everything using my converter software and Gimp...

[JKKDARK]

I only wish that the next game will be cancelled:p

[ALF]

very sorry for the long wait ive had to work double due to 4 of july but i have a couple of textures for u, im gonna gather them up and ill email them to u very soon. :)

[jasonc]

when will the map turfbe done

[jasonc]

sorry when will the map turf be done

[ALF]

really sorry man ive been realy busy so i havent touched the map in some time, and due to the first person shooter and other projects, i was thinking that nobody is gonna be willing to work on iris. But that comp for iris maps looks intresting to me so hopefully ill release it before the comp and make a v2 of the map when the comp starts.

its nice to hear that some people wanna see the Turf map that ive been makin :)

[jasonc]

plzzz can you just realse the map with no tectures or somthing

[ALF]

? why do u want it so bad and with no textures. Is this your idea of scamming someone cuss if so then your doing a really bad job.

[xtreameracer01]

ALF, just take your time......oh yeah if you release the Turf map before the mapping comp., you cant enter it or update it and then enter it into the comp........those are what Produkt said for the rules.....

[ALF]

Thanx for the heads up, i just hope i dont get caught up into much homework when skool starts on wednesday. but not to worry if i dont have this map out by then then there`s something wrong with me.

[jasonc]

what do you mean by scamming i just wanted to show my friends and turfh is my faviourte map

[ALF]

ok but it takes time to make a map and even longer to make models. So Please give us time dont rush us and maybe you should get into maping for iris instead of asking everyone; "can you make a zanzibar map ect..."

Produkt has a nice Tut on how to get started. So give it a try, or gust sit back and wait, better yet just play halo 2 all day since you're so into the game.

[jasonc]

:( :( i was just saying sorry:( :(

[starfox5194]

lol its wednesday well... almost wheres the map???
huh? huh? JK in just playin take ur time even w8 4 compo .

all other naggers listen to me get another tining to worry about mabye mod ur xbox and over heat ur motherboard or learn c++ and have u brain xplode from too much reading......



ok that wuz a rly weird post...... bye

[ALF]

nice real nice, but im gonna release turf in the comp due to the rules that Produkt stated cuss if u release a map before the comp thin try and upgrade it for the comp he wount let you.

So just ShuT uP and wait!

[jasonc]
