.dds loading issue help plz

[Ctf292]

i am having an issue loading my .dds files for 2 dodgers player bellinger and trea turner to update their portraits .

im using a 514x514 document in gimp and literally have done all the steps including the bc3 compression and generating mipmaps. codys ID number IS 8229

 

i attached bellingers photo below which is in a zip file that i import to TIT4 and processes sucessfully it just doesnt show up when in game as overwriting the old. 

 

Can anyone let me know if theres something im doing wrong. seems like most people can get .dds files to load

8229.dds

i typoed that its is 512x512. i rechecked. what steps do u take after making the image? do you also put it into a zip folder?

also just to note it has a window that pops up after i hit start in tit4 that says 1400 left and keeps going down in numbers. than a webpage pops up in my explorer saying mlbmods.com

Ok that's normal. 

 

When you're creating your portraits in GIMP, are you remembering to add a transparency layer and then deleting the blank / white default layer? All portraits should be 341kb in size.

Also a little tip, for easy portraits type in Joe Blow (player's name of course) ESPN or Joe Blow YAHOO into Chrome Images. These portraits by default will have a transparent background.
