Map editor: loading custom images for billboards

[Bruce]

Trying to get custom logos and signs uploaded to my mission file, however all guides i had found are outdated for the new eden editor and when I do manage to get a custom image loaded it appears invisible.

Put these line in the init field from the billboard:

this setObjectTextureGlobal [0,"myPicture.jpg"];

The picture must be in the your mission folder:

Documents\ Arma3\ missions\ your mission

OR

this setObjectTextureGlobal [0,"pictures\myPicture.jpg"];

Documents\ Arma3\ missions\ your mission\ pictures

If you use the paa format, change jpg to paa!

how can change the texture?

[Fenris 89]

I´m not sure, but i would say it´s not possible to change the texure because it has his own! It will (maybe) only work with empty objects!

Yes it's possible to change those. Put this in the init.

this setObjectTextureGlobal [1,"pictures\myPicture.paa"]; < Left Side
this setObjectTextureGlobal [2,"pictures\myPicture.paa"]; < Right Side

Hey i might be a little late but it seems to not work anymore or im just doing it wrong can anyone recommend a tutorial ?

[Umbhaki]

mmm im having trouble with this, it loads the images on the billboards nicely, or posters etc, but, the image only displays when player gets close to billboard... Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

I have been also having problems with this. I have multiple jpg's saved into the mission directory, but non will actually load on the banner object...I have the array entered correctly and typed out in the int. field.

Either a error says "picture not found" OR a the banner just loads as black...

[Umbhaki]

Works fine for me, i cant remember what i did in the end, the ini field part was correct fro me, i think it had something to do with the dimensions

[O B S E R V E R]

The dimensions of the photo you were trying to use you mean?

[Umbhaki]

Yea the dimensions of the photo you using is important. I can't remember what they are again but when i changed mine to them it worked perfectly, the texture loads as far as your view distance setting. I'm not at my pc now, check online a bit more you should find the recommended dimensions quite easily in one of the forums

[Fenris 89]

The picture size must one of these:

124x124
256x256
512x512
1024x1024
.... choose one of these, but if you have an small poster with an 1024 size you will only see an small size from the picture, than you have to choose an smaler size!

So I’m trying to save a jpg image to a banner and it’s not working with any of the code
