Sets custom scroll image to be displayed in the tooltip

[Ulwaen]

Hello guys!
I'm actually finishing a mod and I would like to give collectible cards as reward at the end of the dungeon.
So I have 6 pictures I made in 1024/1024 pixel.
I would like to know what excally it need to do to show one picture in a scroll, and place this one in an alcove (It will be the same process for each picture).
I found the script > Item:setScrollImage(filename) > then I read the topic > viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3342 > But I dont really understand the process.
Could somebody explain me how to do (I'm more graphist than friend with script ^^)

Exactly, are you having problems placing the scroll on the alcove, or add the image to the scroll?

Nop my issue is about the picture and the process to "link" them to the scroll.
There is my first test:

local TarotCard01= spawn("scroll")
TarotCard01:setScrollImage("mod_assets/textures/scroll_images/TheWisdow.dds")
TarotCardAltar01:addItem(TarotCard01)

I linked that script to the "TarotCardAltar01"
Then I place the picture in .dds format in > Documents\Almost Human\Legend of Grimrock\Dungeons\Dhae'l Ahrkbeth Ruins\mod_assets\textures\scroll_images

There is the error I get :
"Unknown uncompressed DDS pixel format in file mod_assets/textures/scroll_images/TheWisdow.dds X"

Then I don't think I'll be so useful, but I'll try to help you anyway
Try to call the file with a .tga format.
Do not rename the file, just call it like that in the editor, such as
TarotCard01:setScrollImage("mod_assets/textures/scroll_images/TheWisdow.tga")
If it won't work, then I think there's some issue with the .dds file itself. What program do you use for creating them?
If you use GIMP, be sure to check the "generate mipmaps" before saving the .dds file.
For now that's all I can come up with.

I tried with tga, but now the error is :
"D3DError - D3DXSaveTextureToFile failed: D3DXERR_INVALIDATA X"
grumf....
How for the dds I used a converter on the net!

[crisman]

Then I think its the converter... Probably there are some parameters you are not considering while converting, or there aren't at all...
You should try with gimp and its .dds plug-in.
If you wish I might try to convert a picture for you with PM

YOUHOUUUUU!!!
I have instaled the dds plugin for photoshop CS6 and it's now working!!!
Thx dude!

[crisman]

Why using gimp when you have photoshop
I'm glad it works now
