Title: In Game Nose Art?
Post by: mason22 on June 12, 2000, 12:50:00 PM

Guess this question is directed towards HTC. unless anyone else knows...

Any idea of the approximate size of the nose art that we will be able to use "in game". I know that the art for the squad page for the HTC website needs to be 32x32 pixels in order for it to fit into the tables. BUT, that's awfully teeeny for nose art in the game. Just take a look at the nose art on the b-26:

so, whats the scoop? The FDB's can't wait to get sexy ol' sinclair on the noses of them purty AC's.

I beleive it will be 64x64 and use 276/276/276 for transparency and convert to 256 color .bmp image! Hope that helps!    (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Ok I created a .gif with 64x64 and transparency output on. I tried the .bmp but there was no option for transparency?
