HELP ME with ContentEd

Please I need help with contentEd. I was making mod to add new shield icons, but I'm stuck with content/title/libraries/gamelogic/shield_icons.clb. I red that i can't export icons from it directliy so you must export it by print screen but doing so I'm not able to get right pixel size of the icons from the atlas and editor write that i need 4x multiplier of pixxels blah blah blah when I red some forums I found that 512x512 might work fine but It has fed me with another freaking error. If you want one more good mode one workshop, please help me. If I will figure this out the rest is a childsplay. Thank you for your suggestions.

Hi Richard,

For starters, have you seen the Getting Started[aow.triumph.net] page over on our website?

Why do you want to screenshot the current icons?
My guess would be that you want to screencap it, so you can add icons to the sheet, which you can then import again?
Since this is a texture atlas, you can just add .dds files to the atlas by selecting 'new' at the bottom of the screen and select the .dds file for your new shield icon.

Hope that resolves your issue. Lmk if it doesn't.

I believe I found what is a problem, I'm print screening it and pasting it in the 24 bit raster file and then on USB and then on my old working PC with bunch of programs getting it back to .dds so thats maybe why it wont work for my because of damaged layers or smthing... What do you think could it be the issue? Should I install gimp on my brand new cca 1200 dollar pc? :D I also found that textures must match 128x128 size in this atlas.

Not a clue.

I'm not even sure why you need a detailed screencap and how that relates to ContentEd, which is why I inquired why you wanted to do the screencap.

:/ so there is no need to export something? I will just make 128x128 dds file with two layers and It should work?

Not that I'm aware of. You can just 'add' your .dds as explained above and it should work afaik.

Not completely sure on the details here, but that sounds about right. I suggest making a quick mock-up icon, add that and see if you can get that to work in game.
