its on the way

I just noticed that the file sizes of the P-38J files I am working on are all 2 bytes larger than the corresponding original game files.

I use Photoshop CS6.

In an earlier post, Greebo says the file sizes and bit counts are available for the p51D submission page.  I didn't see bit counts for the '38J files - are just compared the properties of my files to the properties of the original skin files to find out the counts.

[Skuzzy]

Yes, there are image editors which append 2 extra bytes of data to the images.  Does not hurt anything as they are not loaded due to the header containing the correct amount of data.  I just have to manually check for the extra bytes, which I do.

[Greebo]

What I meant in my earlier post was that the submissions page says what type the file should be: 32-bit RGB or 8-bit grayscale. Sorry if I phrased it badly.

I have submitted most of my skins now but ran into a problem with the Panzer IV H where I got this message:

 PZRSKRT_E.bmp is smaller than the default allowed pixel size height (1024).
 PZRSKRT_P.bmp is smaller than the default allowed pixel size height (1024).

The PZRSKRT.bmp files are 1024 x 512 in size.

Also my Ju-88A-4 skin (ref: JU88A40112252016) uploaded OK but in the viewer the shape seems to have an issue with the normal and other maps not working. HT fixed a similar problem on the Boston so perhaps he can use these files to check out the Ju-88A-4.

OK, good. 

It seems to be the validation error that FTJR is getting though - his submission files are 2 bytes larger than the submission verification is looking for.

Yes, but I coded for that.

This is a database error.  I'll fix the panzer tred tomorrow.

The fix for the normal map should have gone across the board.  I'll have to get HiTech to look at it.

[Greebo]

Just to be clear it is the Panzer IV H skirt files that are the problem, not the tread files.

[Skuzzy]

Right.  Misspoken on my part.

[Skuzzy]

Greebo, the PZRSKRT* files should work now.

[Skuzzy]

Still getting the error

 KI61_S.bmp does not appear to be the correct size (should be: 4195382 currently is: 4195384).

For what its worth, when I clicked the submit button the wheel spun for 25 minutes before I stopped and resubmitted the page, the error was returned inside 5 minutes.

This should be fixed now.

[Greebo]

Just to let you know I submitted the Panzer IV H skins with no problems.
