Faeriemage

I have tried everything except for throwing my computer out the window, and all I think that would do is increase my heating bill.

I am doing fine modifying .tga files that come from EQ...usually (strange problems with transparency and the target indicator, but that is something else I am working on and not too worried anyway)

Ok, so I create this cool looking image using truSpace (they do the reflections in 3d better than I do free hand) and saved the result as a .tga file. I went into PSP and edited the .tga file so that it was broken up into six different pieces. 3 of them are 256x256 and the other 3 are 256x128

I want to use these as the background for my spell book, but I can not get them to load at all. Right now I am ignoring the rest of the book and concentrating on the upper left image, so here is the code I am playing with:

Here is the Animation declare code
<Ui2DAnimation item="A_SpellbookUpLeft">
<Cycle>true</Cycle>
<Frames>
<Texture>spellbookupleft.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>0</X>
<Y>0</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>255</CX>
<CY>255</CY>
</Size>
<Hotspot>
<X>0</X>
<Y>0</Y>
</Hotspot>
<Duration>1000</Duration>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>

Here is the call code in the spell book:
<StaticAnimation item="SBW_SpellBook1">
<ScreenID>SBW_SpellBook1</ScreenID>
<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
<Location>
<X>0</X>
<Y>0</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>255</CX>
<CY>255</CY>
</Size>
<Animation>A_SpellbookUpLeft</Animation>
</StaticAnimation>

Here is my book declare code:
<Screen item="SpellBookWnd">
<RelativePosition>false</RelativePosition>

<X>190</X>
<Y>80</Y>

I have attached the graphic I am working with. Could someone please give me some pointers as to what I have done wrong?

nothing appears wrong graphic wise but uhm....... do you have a texture call for this TGA?

say

<TextureInfo item="spellbookupleft.tga"><Size><CX>256</CX><CY>256</CY></Size></TextureInfo>

you don't state it in the code you posted

Realized that myself, and have finished it up. I just love when things are so obvious that you cant see them. Thanks
