Title images not in dropdown after import

[Wren]

I am working on setting up the NewData folder so that when I create a project it has all the plugins and the dlc from the preorder already imported.

So I copy everything from the folders in the DLC folders to the correct places.

Everything seems to work correctly in MV except for the titles in the titles1 folder.

I have imported the evil throne, floating city ect but when I use the database on a new project I started after importing everything the new imported titles are in the project1 folder but not select-able in the drop-down menu in the system tab in the database.

Spoiler

Did I do something wrong or is this an actual problem?

oh - I wouldn't make your projects inside your Steam folder! That's just inviting problems down the track!


Edit ... wait a minute - thought I saw the same thing but now it's working.


Can you try closing your project then opening it again?

they are not in png but in jpg format as oposed to the others (2 down you have another jpg that isn't showing up)

maybe thats the problem?

edit: a quick test later jep that's the problem

titles have to be png format

the dlc files come in the wrong format

luckily it's not that hard to convert from jpg to png

leave a comment if i should explain how it works

That may have something to do with it. Mine eventually showed up, after I closed the editor and reopened.


If we can track down what is the trigger, I'll log it with kdkw to be looked at.

Closed and reopened project, still not there in the drop down.

Let me convert one and see if it fixes it, but I don't know why they would eventually show up for Shaz.

**Edit**

Converting to png does fix it without opening and closing project.

I have a similar problem with Battle Animation. I created a custom PNG with width of 960 but it's not showing up in the drop down box when I go to do Animations tab in the database. I tried opening and closing the project. I tried renaming it and made sure that it wasn't jpg. It's still not there.

May have to be really careful with extensions and even certain PNG types.

I thought someone mentioned that they'd changed one of their character sprites - done a recolour or something, and they had to close the editor and reopen it to see the change.

If we can confirm when it happens and find a pattern, I'll log a bug report.
