My guess is that you have not correctly sized your texture. It MUST be a power of 2 on both sides.

Why is the file a psd?
Try using a tga or dds.

in assett manager you can use jpeg, dds, tgd, and other picture formats i belive..? as long the pictures ar in a a folder in the root of COD4, ive used TGA, DDS, Jpeg png and still nothink is being converted to texture..?

So why not??

Sill getting errors..
I resized my image, went to photoshop, open up jpeg image and saved it as a DDS file, reopened ASSMAN,
Selected Matrials, NewEntry, Selected Wood as survice type, /Sign, as usage loaded picture, saved as m1.gdt, pressed pcconvert, and i got this error.



so now what.??

[Drofder2004]

PSD is not an image format.

[steveuk]

here is the image be for i pressed PC convert.. is his being done right.??



ok another problem, resised image again, and put into folder, new name, new entry,ect, hit pc conver i now get this.. non power of 2. error.




isnt power of 2 like 128x128, 256x256 ext ??

this is doing my F*cking head in.
