I downloaded sky's bare hoth tunnels and I made a new texture for them by useing some textures on the internet. Then I saved them as tga's and replaced them with my original hoth textures.

It looks fine in mshviewer:



But in ze it has that grey look:



Then I munge and it turns black in game and has these errors:
Must have power of two demensions?

It must be an even number, like 512x512 or something. If it's something like 137x129 it won't work.

How do I do that, I can't use snipping tool?

I see you used the same texture I did on Korriban

Ok, the best way to do this:

Get a calculator. Whether on your computer's accessories menu, or a nice handheld one, doesn't matter.

Open up MS Paint and paste the image.

Now, determine your desired resolution. This should be no bigger than the size of your texture, but don't make it too small. A good idea might be to actually enlarge it to something like 512x512 and touch it up with filters in the image program of your choice. 256x256 might turn out to be your best bet, though, if you don't want to have to retouch it.

Use your calculator and divide your desired resolution (IE 256 pixels) by what your download texture's size is (IE something like 350 pixels)

Hit CTRL W in paint (shortcut for stretch/skew image) and put the number from your calculator * 100, no decimal places, rounded up even if it's 6.000001 in the stretch boxes. If your texture is rectangular you will need to use a separate percentage for each dimension.

This will rarely give you a pixel-perfect result. Repeat the process with the new size as necessary to achieve the desired size.

Hit CTRL A (select all) and copy, then paste in the image program of your choice which is capable as saving as .tga, and overwrite old texture.

acceptable sizes for width or height:
2
4
8
16
32
64
128
256
512
1024
2048
(sense the pattern yet?)
4096
8192
...
...


Hope this helps

Did I use your textures?

Lol, I just typed in 'rock texture'.

Anyway, thanks for the advice.
I thought it worker because I saw it worked in ZE.

But, When I munge it has these errors...
Then when I play I can't spawn?

1.) Make sure to save your .tgas with RLE compression off/unchecked. 2.) Get an error log and determine from the output what is causing you to not be able to spawn.

I always uncheck RLE. My error log is something to do with the Hoth_tunnel_corner_bare req?

I suggest you post the error log. The spawning error usually happens when the names of your CPs in your conquest LUA do not match the names assigned in ZE. Double check that they are the same if you have recently added/removed any CPs.

This is my ownly error log that comes up now?

Not my texture, just the same google search as I

I would suggest looking at the .req file it's having issues with, and posting that.
I'd also suggest what AQT said. Go to your C:\Program Files\Lucasarts\Star Wars Battlefront II\Gamedata\ and open Bfront2.log with Notepad, and post its contents. Before you do that though, try to play on your map with BF2 Modtools.

I'd reccomend GIMP or Paint.NET for texture editing. They're free and a lot better than MS Paint.

Also,

I also think something above a certain size (may be anything above 2048x2048) crashes ZE, though not the game.

Not sure if there's any lower limit.

EDIT - Just tested a texture of 2x2. It works.

Yep, and that's been covered in the FAQ.

Ok. I solved the problem.

I found out after the texture problem that AQT was right about my naming the cps wrong.

Anyway thanks to all
