You're textures have to be powers of 2. So 2x2, 16x16, 256x256, 512x512, etc.

I thought people would know what 'power of 2' would mean. It's a mathematical term.

I guess it is true, the intellectual level of people who join HaloMods is decreasing fast.


Power of 2 means it's multiplied by itself.

So 512^2 = 512*512, etc.

So that means your image size has to be 512x512...Did I make it clear enough for you? Or do you still think it shoots out 2's at people.


If you really think I was joking, then I'm sorry. Pay attention in school and not fantasize about playing Halo when you get home. Math is an important subject...


Also, it's magical.


Finally, if you didn't know what 'Power of 2' meant, I don't think you should be modding Halo at all.

Lol, I knew what power of 2 ment the first time I saw that error.

To make your image creation simple, simply use some of the pre-made .tif's in the data\ folder of the Halo 2 Mapping kit. Just delete the current image, then replace it with the image you want. That way, they are already in the power of 2.
