HAVING BACKground image trouble

[hannibal]

my first attempt at making a profile, and i am messing up...

i get a message saying, "background image not found

Hey Hannibal,
I think you need to open the toolkit, select the tab your having trouble with, then click the back groung icon on the tool kit tool bar and navigate to the image you want for the back ground...I think this is right, been awhile sence I have done any of this stuff
I am sure some one will chime in soo if I have led you astray.
Good luck

Its hard to say with the limited information you have provided.

Profiles get saved in the \touchbuddy\profiles folder, all the image files associated with the profile should be in a subfolder of this. Have a look at an existing profile to see how this is normally setup. You can name the subfolder anyway you like - may be helpfull to others if profile and subfolder have a similar or logical name. If you are going to create a large profile it may help, from an organizing point of view, to have sub-sub folders for each TAB.


i.e. say you had a test profile with 2 TABS, create a \profiles\TEST folder and below that 2 sub folders say FLIGHT_TAB & COMBAT_TAB

\profiles\test\FLIGHT_TAB -- Put image files ascociated with this tab in here.
\profiles\test\COMBAT_TAB -- Put image files ascociated with this tab in here.

When you created the profile in WKB's Toolkit point to the image file in the apropriate subfolder.


Not certain if any of this makes much sense!

If you have already setup your profile like this then I am not certain what the problem could be.

OK, IM GOING TO give it another look as per your suggestion

i did managed to get it to work...i ended up saving it as a gif instead of a jpg...
im making the profile @ 1024x768...
in jpg, the image that gave me the error was 81KB, while the the gif of the same image was at 60KB...

dont know why the gif worked but not the jpg...
