constant problem: icons don't show up in player model selector

[t3rr0r]

i'm packing the files up the way everyone else does, yet i have to type "/model blah" to pick them. :/ the icons work fine (you can see them in the hud). i'm stumped. :/

Icon must be 256 x 256 - (24) JPG file

what is the 24 for?

[Matt-Liell]

24 bit i believe

[t3rr0r]

but there's no option for a 24 bit .jpg. :/

ok, this is weird... when i test my skins on my own, they don't show up anywhere in the list. when i play at an unpure server (jolt) they show up at the very end of the list.

I get this crap all the time! This is the reason I don't release half of the skins I've made. I'll try that 24 bit thing, but the weird thing is some of my skins show up in the selector and some don't. It really pisses me off.

 

Can anyone (for the love of god) help me/us out?

I might be wrong but i believe there is a limit as to how many icons it will show at one time. I remember after i d/l the c3p0 model pack only 4-Lom showed in my list, so i deleted a few skins from the base folder and THEN the rest of the c3p0 models showed up. But its not just those, i am missing many others that should be showing but they're not.

 

i counted and i have 99 icons that show, doesn't look like it will go any higher than that.

[mariners2001]

if 99 icons is indeed the limit, that's crap on Raven's part or who ever did that...someone needs to figure out how to edit the code to provide more than 99 icons.

Well i made a thread in the coding forum about this, hopefully somone will take a look at it.

Theres an easier way to make icons the right size.

 

Use Paint Shop Pro.

 

E.g. Open Kyles icon_default.jpg and your skins picture.

 

Copy your picture.

 

Then click on icon_default.

 

After that, try PASTE/ AS NEW LAYER.

 

Now your Pic appears in the right size.

 

Save the current (renamed) icon_default_xxx in your model/players/xxx folder. Make a .pk3. Ready!

 

It works !

I use ACDSEE to resize pics, couple clicks and it's done. As for the icon limit crap looks like it will be fixed in the next version of Jediplus and any future versions of Jedimod.
