How do I create new bitmaps of a picture?

Joeottoman · Post by **Joeottoman** » Sun Dec 09, 2007 5:57 pm

I want to mod BG with ports. The thing is, I want to have a picture in front of the port of where it leads to. (I.E. A picture of the blue base, where the tele takes you to.) The only way I can think of doing this is to create a new bitmap of the picture. Another thing, if I get this done, how would I be able to move the picture to a certain location?

I would PMI and duplicate the 'scenery\plants\vines_hanging\vines_hanging' piece of scenery, it has a flat surface and an alpha channel on its texture.

My PMI only duplicates weapons...

PMI'ing (Perfect Model Injection) is the term used to describe rebuilding a map with de-crapped models successfullly. That's what I would do, duplicate and extract the scenery a few times, then put my bitmap on it.

Yea, I read about those in the tut section. The thing is, all the tuts are for putting a wraith, pelican, etc. into a map. I just want a bitmap that I can paste a pic over with .dds, then be able to move that around where ever I want. I have no idea how to do that. Think you can give me a quick tut? I would appreciate that SO much.

did you select the vines as new files at the rebuild screen? And did you decrap the models? and did you extract the raw models so you can decrap the models?

I added them as new files, but I didn't decrap or extract the raw models. Rebuilding confuses the hell out of me.

Hmm...maybe a duplicated plasma rifle and AR? And can you duplicate the vines at least 8 times (if it isn't a hassle) since I have about 8 different pictures I want to use.

Uhhhhh....yeah sure, I'l duplicate them 8 times. That's gonna be loads of fun to do, haha.

Oh, make sure you know how to inject textures over it so they don't replace each-other,
