Renders not loading

[moezilla]

Hello everyone! I am fairly new to modding with my games and have been having some trouble with adding renders for mods. I'm not having trouble making the render itself as I'm very familiar with Photoshop, but when I add the files to CCT and open the game, the mod for which I applied the render to shows up blank in the menu. I deleted the Chunk0.arc file and Regenerated it, but still to no avail.

Hi, can you upload and post a link to your chunk0.def file so I can take a look.

Have you tried a different render which you didn't make?. I first suggest you try downloading one of the renders from this thread and injecting into your game

Tried using the Buddy Murphy render and it worked. Could it be a problem in which I save my files? I use a 1024x1024 resolution “canvas” and save the photo as a PNG. Then I use a PNG to DDS converter online to convert the file. Is there a different way to convert to or save a photo as a DDS file?

Hi,

You need the right settings. What software are you using to edit the images?

You also wouldn't need to convert to png first. If you are using paint 3D or photoshop with  DDS plugin, you should be exporting directly to dds.

The filesize of the render shouldn't be larger than the size of the Buddy Murphy render you have download .

Finally got it to work. Imported the render I made from Photoshop to Paint.net and saved it as a DDS file from there. Thanks for all your help. (Do you by any chance have a template I could use for the renders as the sizing in-game is WAY off)

You can use any of the A and B renders from that thread as a template. Open the render in photoshop or paint, import the image as a layer over the first, manually resize it so the renders align, hide the first layer then save.
