FOnline PNG settings?
« on: March 25, 2016, 12:01:28 pm »
Hi I was wondering if there was some way to change FOnlines settings regarding PNG artwork/assets? The PNGs I add are both wider and brighter than the original PNG artwork, the brightness isn't much of a problem but the widening effect means I have to resize the PNGs to look somewhat ridiculously skinny. Any settings I can change on how FOnline effects PNGs?

I don't really understand what you mean. Graphics don't have a fixed width, you can replace them however you want.

/edit: Or do you mean floor tiles? In worst case you can simply use flat scenery objects.

I've retextured the robot charging pods in Photoshop they are exactly the right size with the old charging pods, when the new pods are in FOnline they are wider than the old pods, to resize them to fit the assets have to be shrunk in Photoshop to a skinny size to be the same size as the old pods but generally all the scenery assets are all made wider by FOnline, I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the width in FOnline settings. I'd be happy to show you the width different as an image if it helps. I take it FOnline doesn't widen FRMs? Unfortunately the converters to change an asset to an FRM won't run on my laptop, so it has to be PNGs I work with.

Here's a link to what I mean. So why can't FOnline just keep the PNGs the correct size?

That's totally new to me. The image size is never defined anywhere, so it makes no sense that replacing the image would skew them like that. Now that might sound dumb, but are you sure the files are saved correctly?

If it takes a dumb question to find a solution, ask away. I just save them as pngs with transparent backgrounds, I also compared my save/PNG settings with another mapper and there was no difference with our Photoshop settings we could find. Why did you have an idea on what would cause this?

Give original FRM and edited PNG as well as your fopro defines for 100% debugging.
