Very nice tutorial, Ive just seen this and would like to try, however, many of the pictures are missing from the original post, can anyone see them?

I've been trying to follow this tutorial in order to get rid of the cod logo on the menu screen. I understand what I'm suppose to do but when ever i get to the part in PS to select channels, there is no Alpha channel, only channels are ..... RGB, Red, Green, Blue.

I open PS
File>New
-settings are-

512x512
Resolution 72 pi
Color Mode: RGB Color 8-bit
Background Contents: Transparent (I've also tried with the "Background color", and filled with mid-grey like the tut states)

Then i flatten the image, save to dds, covert to iwi, and it always shows up with the color filled square instead of transparent.

-nvidia dds settings-
DXT1 RGB 4 bpp | no alpha (Ive also tried this set at DXT5 ARGB 8 bpp | interpolated alpha, and that didn't work)
2D texture, No Mipmap

Im using PScS2, windows XP 64bit

Any suggestions on where I should start investigating?

Nevermind I figured out what I need to do (at least what worked for me) When it comes time to save the image, instead of FLATTEN image I would use MERGE VISIBLE, and it worked like a charm. The transparent parts would stay and not get filled in with white. If MERGE VISIBLE does not appear then you probably need to just add a new transparent layer and delete the background image (if any). Thanks for the great tutorial

OK I have my logo.iwi and put it in the mod.iwd then placed it on the server and redirect and restarted the server. However when I try to join the server it says it failed to load "logo".

Here are my dds and iwi files incase someone here has a clue what I did wrong:

Just tried to use our clan logo as the background image for the compass with the same result. I followed the tutorial to the letter with no luck.

you must place all images in the images folder in your iwd



 

[JD_8]

I did, that's what I meant when I said I put them in the mod.iwd.

are you useing the iwi the dds cod2 converter? ------> Download logo.iwi


give that a shot =)

[JD_8]

Ah I figured out what was wrong. I was using the dds2iwi converter for cod4 not the older one for cod2. I didn't realize there was a difference in the iwi format from one game to the next but apparently there is.

Only difference in files between games are headers
