side pics

[MrSpontaneous]

Well I checked the wiki for information regarding the creation of side pictures, but there does not seem to be anything on it.

So I would like to know how you implement side pics and their exact specifications (i.e. needs to be 16 by 16 pixles).

Thanks

The best advice I can give is to go look at how the SWTA mod does it. But from memory, it has to be a 16x16 pixel bmp in the bitmaps/sidepics/ directory, called sidename.bmp, eg: bitmaps/sidepics/arm.bmp

Once you work it out, post it in the wiki somewhere.
Hope that helps.

* 16x16 windows bitmap format
* White (255,255,255) is clear.
* Located in the "sidepics" dir of the mod
* Named exactly the same as the "Name" field in sidedata. For example, "Name=Old Republic;" in the sidedata.tdf file would mean I need to name the bitmap "old republic.bmp" with spaces.

That's pretty much it.
