Adding picture to kneeboard datacard
-
i have seen some videos where people have pictures on their kneeboard datacards such as girlfriends and such…how would i go about doing this?
-
Yeah, we know you want that picture of War-Demons mom eating cake! :rofl:
-
haa!!! not exactly but that was funny. i want to add my own pic to it…

You could use the Kneeboard Updater (https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?14692-Falcon-BMS-KneeBoard-UPdater&highlight=kneeboard+updater) to convert any 1600 x 1200 pxl jpg to a dds texture file and to replace the texture you see in game with this converted one. This neat tool will do that automatically - very handy. You could create your own kneeboard page from scratch, or you could also modify the datacard jpgs printed by Weapon Delivery Planner; whatever you like. As long as you stick to the image size, you can do pretty much anything.

i have harpoons pilot mod and updater program…
what diretory are you editing that dds from and before or aftre update or is it a one time deal until you wish to change it?
sorry for all the q’s? -
okay, i was able to add the pics i want but when it saved it it was bigger. and when it updated it only showed vertically half of each page. is there a sizing that i need. it would be useful if somebody might be able to do a quick video on this so that we can all make our own boards…

anybody?

Hi Justice,
What program do you use for opening and editting your .dds file? Photoshop?
What program/plugin do you use for saving to .dds?Creating your own kneeboard isn’t anything different from the process we call “skinning” and involves multiple steps to do right.
If you’ve got anything funky in the vertical, i’d guess you might be doing something wrong in Photoshop…

paint.net was recommended to me
-
so what did i do wrong?
-
i’d need a screen shot of the dds in paint.net as you were editing it before you saved it (also, make a backup somewhere you can drop back into the objects folder)
