Gateway Making In-game Problems [Resolved]

Postby Gravyman » Tue May 27, 2008 8:06 pm

I made my own gateway using the superbly written "How to make gateways for Dummies" guide, but in-game neither of my images (bought or unbought gateway images) work. The smaller preview one on the [buying] gateway page is just the black rectangle with a "X" in the top left, and if i buy the gateway and look at it once it is installed..

A) The background big image doesn't show up.
B) The power, security and modems are in the wrong places even though i've triple checked and i've written in the txt the correct coordinates.

I've tried it on a new user but it still does it..

For the images not appearing, i'm guessing they're in the wrong places or something..

Both of them..

My small tiff is 200*140


Here is the txt copied in:

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: LOL. I knew it, i just knew it. The file name extension was too long. I renamed it to something shorter and now images work, but the power security and modem are still placed incorrectly.

I want to redraw some of it anyway so i'll have to redo all the co-ords again then. Hopefully that will fix it.

EDIT II: I've redesigned it slightly, and done all the txt stuff again, but it still won't put the power, modem and security in the right place.

EDIT III: Fixed. I put the security before the modem and power in the txt instead of after and all of a sudden it works. I wish i knew all this 4 hours ago.

Nope. I did expect someone to reply over all this i spent trying to work out what was wrong, but changing a thing or two here and there using a bit of initiative did the trick. And to think, if i'd just renamed it and switched two lines around 4 hours ago i could have saved myself an evening of annoyance. ZZzz..

Thanks anyway though! :P

It's a fan component for a computer, it's not supposed to be on a gateway though as it's not the base of the computer.

Ask your friend. He will know.

Please, don't bump topics that have been inactive for such long time unless you actually have something interesting or relevant to add. Responding to someone who hasn't been active on these forums for more than a year does not count as interesting or relevant.

Well, dont want to open a new Thread becouse of this, so srry for "bump" ;)

Got the same Problem with my first selfmade Gateway.

_t Image dont want to appear
Big Image doesnt appear, and the Images are also in wrong place

Well just the exactly same problem like Gavyman had "2 years" ago

Heres the txt.

Code: Select all

Compact

sec             16  137    340  137
modem           100  142
power           172  138


Well i dont really think its the fault of the coords, becouse the CPU and RAM are always in the same height (2 Rows)
Big Image is 400x300 (399x299) and the _t Image is 200x140 (199x139)

I already shorten the Name and also put SEC befor modem and power.

I hope there is someone active who could help me with that.

Mfg DS

PS: Srry for my "bad" english

*EDIT: The _t Image works now, dont ask me how i did that (i deletet and added some files.... (i know you shouldnt do that if you dont really know what u are doing *g*))
*EDIT2: Well oke, i found a problem at the coords :oops: well, atleast Mem,Cpu,Sec and so on are displayed right, but there are still 2 problems left, 1 is new.

1: The gateway Image is still not appearing
2: Well second and new "problem" or lets just call it "bug/glitch" is, i can buy like unlimitet CPU, it doesnt say that i have no more slots free, i can just buy them, pay for them, and they also get installed after 24h+30-60min... well atleast it doesnt go over the max. of ghz (18 cpu's 3600ghz) but still, maybe someone also have a solution for this one

*EDIT3: Shortet the description and also cuttet a bit of the gateway image so it has a new size (374 299) but without damaging the coords (so coords are still the same and they also work right) i also overworked the _t image, well, still doesnt work, the big gateway image just doesnt want to appear, also bought the gateway new (becouse of the high price i froze my monex for tests) plz help i dont know what else i could do ^^
