Custom Badges won't appear

[Spulm]

I created multile 64x64 24 uncompressed tga badges, placed them in the badge dir in DoW, but they just won't appear in the army painter. some one got any ideas what may cause this?

Thanks,

do they have an 'alpha' layer, and are they RGB colored? and what did you use to create them?

i used paint shop pro 8. Also added thealpha channels. I did it all exactly the same as I did it in in HW2. the strange part is, the first badge was no problem. I saw it and I could use it, but then I removed that one. I can't get new badges since then. It's like the badge folder changed somehow so that the engine won't read it anymore.

i use paint shop pro to make badges aswell i find that alot of the time the badge wont work if you copy/paste objects into your badge . also if you invert your alpha channel to show back ground they will work if youload the game up then revert the alpha channel back to the image and hey presto . dunno why it does this but it works for me

if this doesnt work for you, try downloading some badges and see if they work, then you will know if your badges folder is botched :o/

Already tried that.

But I wondered how it would go with the banners, so I created a small test banner with the right size. And yes, it appeared in the banner preview. I created another one to test, I overwrited an other banner and the second test did not appear. Then I renamed it, only that and there it was.

Now I wanted a final banner, but now I just can't get it there. I tried to open the second test and saved it again on its same name and it was gone again. So now I only have my first test ready for use and can't get any other banners.

I also have had problems with Paint Shop Pro v. 8 making badges. I did cut and paste so that could be part of the trouble. When I open the file using the old Tycoon Descent III badge editor the colors are all messed up. There could be something glitchy about PSP.
