Homer Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 So thanks to all the tutorials available here, I have been able to doodle around enough and manged to create myself in the game. Now, when I went to do the portrait, I followed the tutorial once again to create the bmp and the alpha. I converted them to the fsh file and used kraw's installer to install them. It appeared to have worked, as I opened up MVPedit, the picture appeared there just fine. But when I opened up the game to the Edit A Player screen, there's just a black box there. Any suggestions? I'll keep fiddling with it until then. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/21138-portrait-is-blank/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishJoe Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Every now and again, when I play a game, sometimes there appears a black box on regular players. I'm not too sure what causes this, but it usually lasts only 3 seconds or so and then the portrait appears. Have you created any portraits aside from yourself before? If so, how have they worked?

UncleMo Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I feel like this happened to me. I bet you took an existing portrait and edited it or renamed the portrait didn't you? If so, don't forget to change the info inside of your index file or whatever it is called. Not the .bmp but that other file.

Homer Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 UncleMo, you nailed it right on the head. however, what other file are you referring to? Here's what I did: I extracted an fsh file to use as a template with EAgraph and then edited it through FSHEd. everything seemed to appear to work, but like I said, it was blank in the game. I don't recall seeing any other files along the way. Think you can tell me where to locate it and edit it?

nmm66 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 the index file that is created when you use FHSEd contains the following (you can edit it with notepad or wordpad): NFSHTool generated file -- be very careful when editing E:NeilDesktop0486.fsh FSH SHPI 1 objects, tag G357 BUFSZ 262736 NOGLOBPAL !PAD 8 4275792045525453 0486 0000.BMP BMP 7D +2 128 128 {0 0 0 0} alpha 0000-a.BMP ETXT 69 64 16 {0 0 0 0} EAGL64%20metal%20bin%20attachment%20for%20runtime%20texture%20management%00%00%00%00%00%00 ETXT 70 0486%00%00%00%00%00%00%00%00 #END make sure to change the bold numbers to the portrait number you want. also, if you did a 2x picture, change the bold 128 128 to 256 256.
