Fade Filter Image Question {what size (pixels) must an image have to work in filter?}

[Airandius]

I want to use a series of picture as my cinematic intro.
I'll be using filters for this:

This:

• Cinematic - Apply a filter over 2.00 seconds using Normal blending on texture White Mask, starting with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 100.00% transparency and ending with color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) and 0.00% transparency

MY QUESTION: what size (in pixels) and what format must the picture be for it to work properly.

It should be 512x512.

This image used by Blizzard in Campaign is 512x512

	5 1 2
512

Thanks, and can it be jpg? Or does it have to be tga or something?

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

It has to be BLP or TGA, unfortunately...

It has to be BLP or TGA, unfortunately...

You can download IrFanview and then easly batch any type of picture to your desired type like JPG to TGA example

Encountered a new problem, you can't have multiple fade filters or something?
This is trigger related though.

• Actions
  • Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players)
  • Cinematic - Apply a filter over 0.00 seconds using Normal blending on texture Black Mask, starting with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 100.00% transparency and ending with color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) and 0.00% transparency
  • Wait 2.00 seconds
  • Cinematic - Apply a filter over 2.00 seconds using Normal blending on texture Storm V2.blp, starting with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 100.00% transparency and ending with color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) and 0.00% transparency

What's wrong. I would like to start with a black filter, then fade into picture A, then fade to black again, then fade to picture B and then fade black and then go to the game.

I'll make new thread though, as this would be in the wrong forums.

Unfortunately, you can't use two fade filers at the same time.

Instead of black fade filter you can use fog.

• Actions
  • Environment - Set fog to style Linear, z-start 1000000000.00, z-end 1.00, density 0.50 and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%)
  • Wait 2.00 seconds
  • Cinematic - Fade out and back in over 2.00 seconds using texture <Picture A> and color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency
  • Wait 2.00 seconds
  • Cinematic - Fade out and back in over 2.00 seconds using texture <Picture B> and color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency
  • Wait 2.00 seconds
  • Environment - Set fog to style Linear, z-start 10000.00, z-end 10000.00, density 0.50 and color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%)

To bad they fade in and out over time, I wanted to add text messages for story.
Guess I'll have to make a second trigger timed at the right time for text messages. xD

Thanks
