For anyone interested in this mod - it definitely works as designed. I was able to make a 512x512 and then save it as WhateverMyPaintingWasCalled_Sign_WarMap_Retextured_C.pnt.

@Jareth - worked like a charm, thank you for this. We needed this for a particular use case. FYI - I tried to use the spawn code that someone provided in another forum, but when I did, I couldn't get it to register the ground or snap points. I almost uninstalled the mod at this point. However, when I just manually made the canvas, it was working fine for me.

@Daggeira - I see that you have a similar question in another canvas mod posted around the same time.I believe the issue that you are experiencing isn't the fault of this mod. If you haven't gotten this working yet and wanted to drop me a line on Steam, I could try to help you.

)@Jareth Yeah, nothing in the "my paintings" folder on my computer loads on the canvas either.

Okay i went and tested this and it works for me.
MyPaintings folder is located in your save file folder. Ark/shootergame/saved/MyPaintings . Not in server files. Server paintings cache is something else and in server files. We don't need it.

If you don't see MyPaintings folder, you should go in game and create a painting in there, any painting, stick figure or something and save it. Taking picture with in game camera also creates this folder (i think?). In this folder add your pictures with _Sign_WarMap_Retextured_C.pnt end. Camera pictures are needed to convert with Ark Paint converter to correctly show on big painting canvas (warmap) but look terrible. Play around with converter setting or just take screenshot and convert it.

So, I tried manually adding the directory and copying my existing paintings from the "sever paintings cache" folder to it and it didn't work.

@Jareth I don't play single-player because we can never make LAN work, so my roomie and I are on a private server.

There is NO "my paintings" folder whatsoever in ANY of my game files, server or otherwise. I've looked. I even poked around in the folders the mod is installed to, and no dice. There's a "server paintings cache" folder (I'm guessing the name was changed during an update after your mod was created), but the modded canvasses won't load from there, even though they're legitimate images taken with the in-game camera. I figured I'd try to make it work with those before trying the converter as the files already exist in the correct format, and honestly, I want the in-game pictures more anyway. If there was a specific place to add said folder, I would, but it doesn't exist on its own.

I don't quite understand the question. Paintings are stored in your game files steam\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\MyPaintings directory. There is a guide to save paintings on Ark Paint Converter (made by 8bitpineapple) in section Saving
If you use Ark paint converter tool you need to replace the object name with (Name Of Your Painting) _Sign_WarMap_Retextured_C.pnt

If you have done all these steps already and paintings doesn't show up. I don't frankly know what the problem is. You say it doesn't load any painting in your server but does it work in single player? If so then the problem is on server end some where. I hope this helps.

Doesn't load any of my basic saved paintings on my server. How do I fix this?

Thanks, works perfectly.
Jareth  [author] 23 Mar, 2019 @ 12:52am 
No worries. I just cant change it because it is not made by me. Sorry for that.
_*очень приятно ца 23 Mar, 2019 @ 12:50am 
Okay, I'm bothering you.
Jareth  [author] 23 Mar, 2019 @ 12:48am 
As i said. Ark Pain Converter is not made by me . I can not change it.
_*очень приятно ца 22 Mar, 2019 @ 9:34pm 
I'm talking about the 512x512 Ark Paint Converter. I feel that 512x512 is too small. It would be great if you could change it to 1024x768.
Jareth  [author] 22 Mar, 2019 @ 2:17pm 
I dont know what you mean. If you mean the Ark Paint Converter where it is 512x512 I can not change that. Ark Paint Converter is not made by me. I made this mod on top of Arks War map so i could easily make big paintings with this Ark image converter.
_*очень приятно ца 21 Mar, 2019 @ 9:37pm 
I hope you take the time to update this MOD.
_*очень приятно ца 21 Mar, 2019 @ 9:35pm 
Can you adjust the resolution of the drawing to 1024X768 so that many pictures can be drawn?:steamhappy:
Jareth  [author] 21 Mar, 2019 @ 12:20am 
Thanks

They need to get this into the game man, but like instruments, they dont care about ... we got the Drums, thats it folks ... its a shame, well, nice Mod buddy ^.^
Jareth  [author] 12 Sep, 2018 @ 7:56pm 
I dont know what to say. It works for me.

Step by step:
1. Go to image converter and choose image
2. On drop down menu on right-> choose Human&Warmap so resolution changes to 512x512.
3 .Choose colors etc...
4. Save as .pnt (exampleImage.pnt)
5. Rename as Example.Image_Sign_WarMap_Retextured_C.pnt (picture name and then
_Sign_WarMap_Retextured_C.pnt )
6. Go to Ark files -> my paintings and drop it there.
7.Done

hmmm.... I will look into it.
KailIzzraham 12 Sep, 2018 @ 4:34pm 
That is what I did.
Jareth  [author] 12 Sep, 2018 @ 11:41am 
Make them for Human&Warmap instead.
KailIzzraham 12 Sep, 2018 @ 11:06am 
Having a small problem. I use the Ark Paint Converter to make my normal canvas sized works, but when I save them for the canvas in this mod all I ever get is 2 small images at the top. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Jareth  [author] 30 Jul, 2018 @ 1:02am 
Let me know if there is any bugs etc.
