Custom logo for my FC - OriginalUsername - 02-20-2013

Hey there,

I'm working on my first FC and I wanted to add a custom logo.
I put the logo in /MG(This is my FC folder)/graphics/logo.png
and I changed the menu.cfg:

Code:
MenuLogo = "/MG/graphics/logo.png"

But it just doesn't show whatever I do.
Please tell me what I did wrong

I think .png's doesn't work. Use TGA's.

Nah, PNGs work perfectly fine as I'm using one right now.

I'd recommend you try lowering the resolution of your logo as well as play around with the values of the "MainMenuLogoStartRelativePos" and "MainMenuLogoRelativeSize" in your menu.cfg until it produces something that you are happy with.

.png should work just fine, I've used it several times for game menu logos.

Make sure that the directory path is right, if it's wrong, the game will probably not find your image.

To debug and make sure there are no issues with your image, you could use a renamed copy of an original logo from Amnesia and try to make it to show up in your story. If the directory path is wrong, it will not show up.

I think that was the problem. I used a different, smaller logo and it worked right away.

At what part did it say
MenuLogo?
Because i'm not seeing it right now.
EDIT: Whoops, wrong .cfg. OK, now i see it.


RE: Custom logo for my FC - OriginalUsername - 02-20-2013

Oh, nevermind. It just picked the Amnesia logo again...
I'm not sure, I have all the paths right, I've tried it in .png and .tga and it still doesn't work..
I tried this: MenuLogo = "graphics/menu_logo.tga"

This: MenuLogo = "MG/graphics/menu_logo.png"
And this: MenuLogo = "graphics/menu_logo.png"

And it still doesnt work -.-

EDIT: is the path /MG/graphics/menu_logo.tga right? Or is it supposed to be in another folder?

The directory path might differ depending on if you have created an isolated or non-isolated conversion custom story. When I created a FiCCS, my logo did not show up till' I removed the '/' in front of the mod-name in the directory path.

It is a isolated FC. And I've tried everything :S But I did notice the ptest menu.cfg is different than the normal menu.cfg. I'll try some other things out.

I've added the logo. Maybe there's something wrong with that.
I gave it to ferryadams10 and he fixed it, so it shouldn't be the file... But I'm getting desperate xD
