Payload Editor Weapons mod

[Highwayman-Ed]

Sorry Odin, but the ones in the mod are the files I worked with directly :(

 

The original version that was not for widescreen users was 256x256

Widescreen mod is wonderful, but I found a little mini-bugs exxample range - 250 kg, ect. But it doesn't diturb :D

Well, the weapon it much butter than the originals from ED though they doesn't show up as good as your original work, but still much better. Only thing that bugs me, as you can see, is the text that are a bit dissorted.

I see us use widescreen, did u use widescreen mod, not 4:3?

[Highwayman-Ed]

He can't use the widescreen mod...

 

Older ATI cards can not render textures that are not square correctly. The problem here is that the old ones are square (256 x 256), but Odin is using a widescreen rsolution in the UI so Lock On stretches the images and distorts the artwork of the original mod.

 

BUT, if he uses the widescreen version, those images are 420 x 350, so they are not square. On the older ATI cards, this causes the image to be squashed as it trys to make the texture 450x450 and uses blank space to fill in the extra area.

 

We ran into this problem with the A-10 mod and had to re-do a whole bunch of textures (flags, squadron patches, nose art, engine art, etc) so that the textures were square.

 

My only suggestion for older ATI users is to set the resolution of your UI to a standard 4:3 resolution and use the original version if you wish to use my payload editor mod.

 

Edit: Odin, can you download this file AIM-9L into ...Lock On\FUI\Common\Weapons and see what it looks like in your widescreen UI please. Thanks

Nope, it seems it doesn't like anything else than 256 or 512 but thanks for giving it a try.

 

 

Of course you could use 4:3 setting for UI but I think I read that it wouldn't work with that HDR Bloom mod, because you had to use the same settings in UI as in game.

 

But I can live with the way it looks for me after I changed them myself. It may not look as good on my computer as you intended, but good enough.

 

PS! My x1950 cards gets very upset :cry: when you refer to them as older videocards :D

 

EDIT: I tried to resize the file to 512 and converted it to dds again and I noticed that the .dds file I made was only half the size of your original file, maybe the software I use (dds converter 2.1) is to blame for some of the quality loss?

Which ones Boberro, I'll fix them...

I spotted one blank weapons picture. Its for the German tornado.

 

When you load up with the AGM-88, it would automatically load the ECM pod on the opposite pylon of the aircraft. And the ECM pod doesn't have a picture.

Thanks, I'll make an update at the weekend
