PAPYBMP Converting to MIP

by Schoone » Wed, 03 Oct 2001 09:22:38

Does anyone have any FAQs on using this to convert a BMP to a MIP for N4?
I can extract the BMPs fine but when I try to create the MIP I get an error
saying the following:
"bitmap dimension not a power of 2"

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Just a guess, but I would say it has something to do with your bitmap
dimensions not being a power of 2.  ;o)

Okay seriously, I don't know what the requirements are in Papy's various
games but I do know that in many graphic engines it is a requirement for
bitmap dimensions to be a power of 2, i.e. 32x32, 64x64, 128x256, or
whatever.  They don't mipmap correctly if they aren't dimensioned that
way.

  As Haqsau said, the BMP's should be  32x32, 64x64, 128x256, or
whatever.  Try opening the BMP's in your favorite paint program, then
stretching or compressing them until they're a useable size, then resave them
and try converting them again..  It'll distort the images a little though, but
should work.
