recursive error after: LoadTGA: colourmaps not supported


whats the deal? how do I fix it?

Well have you tried saving using other options? I tried to load a 16bit tga in Radiant and it said only 32 or 24 bit supported.

I have a similar problem. I use Adobe Photoshop for all my pictures, save them under 256x256, and most come out as "Shader not found"s...

Whether I got them from google or not.
Most 512x512 images do work, but i dont like 512 because they come out backwards if I fit them onto a brush. (which is a real bitch)

24 bit uncompressed works all right for me when saved in PSP. 32 bit uncompressed is the 24 bit plus an alpha channel, so if you have an alpha channel in PSP and save 24 bit, you will actually save 32 bit.

EvilJedi, have you tried to fit them on the opposite side of the brush :rolleyes: The one you told must be the worst reason I have ever heard for not to use 512x512 textures... Use the surface inspector to reverse them, if they are "backwards". Of course they are not really backwards, since it's 3D environment.

I just went into PSP, changed it to uncompressed, re-saved and it worked, I then saved it as compressed and it failed with that error.

it was already uncompressed when I sent it to you, so I just tried it as it, nothing. so I changed it to compressed, and now I got a different error:


recursive error after: LoadTGA: RLE-RGB Images (type 10) must be in bottom-to-top format
( File: "gfx/menus/menu_side_text.tga" )

What's your graphics proggie?
