    Evening folks
    I could do with a bit of help please converting a image in the rw ace tool, every image i try and convert i get a message saying" image width must be a power of 2".
    I have tried scaling the image up or down but still get the same message, so has anyone else had this and if so how to i recitfy it ?
    Thanks in advance

    It must be 256 x 256 (or other equal power of two squared dimensions) open the image in an image editing software program like paint shop or gimp and trim it until its 256 x 256 or 512 x 512 or 1024 x 1024 and so on.

    You 'maybe' also be able to do mixtures but following the same rules i.e. 256 x 1024 it depends on the game engine image rendering so don't take it as read from me concerning the last part (in other words untested by me).

    Yeah for power of two it must follow the standard of 8bit upwards 8x8 16x16 32x32 64x64 128x128 256x256 1024x1024 and so on (and possibly a combo of both like I mentioned in my other post)
