Hey cool. As I was looking through the pics, I liked Kobras the most, but now I see why they would not work, and Skarj's pics are good. GJ Skarj, and Carnage.

Hey Kobby, do you mind if I use your pics somewhere in my levels?

yes, they are probably too complex.. i just checked the regular team icons of UT2k4 and they are just black with white background..
sure you can use them if you like ^^

[}TCP{Snowbird]

I, or we, could use them inour levels as a floating, swirling sign. I was thinking about my gasstation in "Winter". If I can manage to make your emblem "alpha", (where the white background is see through) then I can put it on a pole and have it turning. On the base of thde pole, I would put "Made by }TCP{Kobra" as a texture.

Here ya go frank

Another logo.

A bit more serious this time. I made some screenshots of weapons and put them together. The screenshots are nice, but I don't really like the result :-/

Anyway, here it is.

Hehe funny Kay

Only problem is the collors in em .. they will be hard to see in the game

[}TCP{Snowbird]

Hi guys. Just got back, and Car, thanks for the DL. I am looking now.

OMG!!!!

So...OK!!!! I do not know everytihng about the editor, and I am about to go crazy trying to figure out the most basic art of textureing. Alpha!!! I have tried and tried, but can not figure it out. I know the color black and white are relevent, and still there is something I am missing. Carnage, your sign came out half clear, to see the background through it. HOW!!!!

I would like the white background to be also Transparent. HELP THE OLD FOOL PLEASE!!!

[}TCP{Carnage]

Well the best thing for the transparency is black Frank
White also works but with black it usual totaly disapears where as with white u still see a small thing
If u like i can make em with a black background so u won't see a thing ?

Lemme know

[}TCP{Snowbird]

But I have been useing black, and it just will not disappear. Yes do me that favor and make it black. I want to see if it makes a diferance when you do it. :-/ Strange

[}TCP{Carnage]

Here ya go .. in black

Btw if the alpha will not work right perhaps u can try a shader .. that is how i made the intro logo too

[}TCP{Snowbird]

Thanks man. But I have tried left and right, shaders and everything else. I am misisng something. I feel so stupid. How did you save them out? DTX 3 and then?

[}TCP{Carnage]

But are they working now or not ?

They should coz that is basicly the way i made all the logo thingy's and they all seem to be nice and see thrue

[}TCP{Carnage]

Ow forgot to tell how i made em

The first 2 (Alpha black) i just made with the adobe photoshop and added the alpha layer and them saved them as dds files
This seemed to work just fine for the team logo's i added to the server
Then in just imported them into the editor and set the texture surface alpha layer to true
Then selected in texture the lodset to LODset_interface (seems to be for the gui menu things .. i think )
then the clamp mode to wrap or clamp (could not realy see any difference in em)

As for the intro logo ( the 2 fellas shooting the link at the clan webbie)
i used this in found somewhere on the web

Code: Select all

First save your map, a few things in this description could crash UED if done wrong...and no one wants that

ok so you've got your texture you want to make transparent already imported into mylevel, next you need to go to file-->new. set the package to mylevel and give it a catchy name.
Leave the class as raw material, the material class should be set to shader or class'engine.shader' by default, this is what we want so just leave that.
now click 'new' and you should be taken to this new shader in the texture browser under 'mylevel'

Right click the shader (should be black with a red outline in the browser) and go to properties. Now in the texture browser again (ignoring the property window for a moment) find the texture you want to make transparent (the one you were having trouble aligning before in other words) and select it, now in the shader properties click 'diffuse' and then 'use' on the far right, you should then be able to see your texture in the window in the top right of the properties box.

Finally go back to the texture browser (leave the shader properties open though, coming back to it in a minute) and load up the texture package "CP_Effects1.utx". In this package is a texture called 'cp_opacityChannel1_epic', select this texture, go back to the shader properties, select the opacity property (directly under diffuse) and click use.

This should in effect blend the two textures together resulting in a nice transparent version of your original pic. 
close the properties window and use this shader texture as you would any other in the editor

and that also seemed to work just fine .. but i find the first way a bit easier and seemingly doing the same thing

Hope this helps a bit

Cheers
Car..

BOY OH BOY!!!! Thanks Car. That helped allot. I was try to do something learned from OLD unreal. Thanks again. Now I can make the signs just about any color I want.

@ Kobra. Now we are in bussiness.
