player window texture

I'm trying to add a new texture to the player window and I've added or edited the following

EQUI_Animations.xml

Code:


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

EQUI_PlayerWindow.xml

Code:


<DrawTemplate>WDT_myTemplate</DrawTemplate>

EQUI_Templates.xml

Code:


	<WindowDrawTemplate item = "WDT_myTemplate">
		<Background>wnd_bg_mytexture.tga</Background>

If you want to change the background texture you should just need to change the Players window background. __________________ Geddine "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most"

I'd like to see someone do that with all of them, that would make learning what to change a lot easier. __________________ Retired BuzzFelinous (26 Bard) BuzzVar(40 Shaman) BuzzSilverThor (68 Storm Warder )

I double checked that my tga file is 24bit uncompressed. if anyone could cast some light on the template file , as of what I might be doing wrong , id really appreciate it. as for the way I put the stuff on the page .. I think I could come up with a quick template .. as the stuff I posted lacks certain things .. for example if I edited or added a part - maybe where it is situated. anyways if you think its a good idea let me know and I'll contact the admins .. would be nice to have some structure

I added a new TextureInfo to the Animations file, I copied an existing WindowDrawTemplate in the Template file. Then changed it to use the new background and gave it a new name. Then I used that WindowDrawTemplate in the Player Window and Chat Window. At first I could not see it in the Player Window. This is because I had Backgroup -> Tint Color set to Black. Once I changed that back to White, then turned the Texture back on, it worked fine.
