Background
« on: September 13, 2003, 01:21:00 AM »

have just created a 1024X512 image in photoshop and saved as tga
The image name is xboxbg.tga

Bundler.exe used as follows.

bundler xboxbg.tga -o xboxbg.xbx

This created a 2k xbx file.

Inserted this into default.xip

Saved - resigned - FTP to xbox all XIP's and Xboxdash

When I boot up it locks up.

I also did the following:-


DEF theBackground Background
{
skycolor 0 0 0
backdrop ImageTexture { url "xboxbg.xbx" }
}


I'm not sure why this doesn't work.

Any ideas.


Also tried the above and used xboxbg.jpeg as well but still the same lockup when booting.



Thanks

I have noticed my xboxbg.xbx file is only 2k in size and I think this is why it locks up, as this can't be the correct size to insert into the default.xip

I use the dos cmd methos as fast_dds2xbx dosen't work right.

When I convert dds to xbx it never creates an xbx file in the xbx folder.

I've done a search on the drive to see if it created it somewhere else, but never foudn it.

So this is why I use the manual method.

Anyone care to help me out.

Thanks

Just tried that but it still locks up the machine.

Resort back to modded true blue mod with music, and all is well again.

I do think it's the size that my bundler.exe creates as it's only 2k, where as others that have created there own background are inserting xboxbg.xbx files over 200k

Any more help anyone.

Thanks
