Route picture

[NDORFN]

Does anyone know how to add a picture to a route for the menu?

[SCLALINE]

yes the new RW Tools does it just fine

its in RWT Help 4 pdf file

You will need to provide a suitable thumbnail picture from your route, you can do this by taking a screen
print of a suitable area in your route, and converting it to a 256*128 pixel picture. You then need to save this
picture as a .dds file which can be done by opening it in Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop etc and saving
it in the following format DXT1 ARGB with 6 mip maps. Name it after your route, e.g. Borders.dds and
save it in the folder RW_Tools\TempDDS. Make sure you have set up a PreLoad folder as on page 1.

its really very easy

I can't save as .dds with PaintShop Pro X5

Do you have the dds plugin from Nvidia?

Awesome. Cheers heaps Jason I can't find an option in RW_Tools to add a menu picture. Just a route loading picture. I've got version 4.0.14. To be honest, I don't think it's updated properly. There doesn't seem to be any difference from the older version. Might have to add the picture manually.

I got RW_Tools to work. Found the add thumbnail to route options. Followed instructions etc... It didn't save to my route preload folder, instead back into the TempDDS folder in RW_Tools. Do I have to create a PreLoad folder using RW_Tools? I just created one manually.

[NDORFN]

Got it to work! Thanks for your help Jason and co.
