Grab the texview program from BIS to convert your tga files into pac/paa formats.
THe tga should be saved as 32 bit with alpha channel and sized in multiples of 2 (eg 64, 128, 256, 512)

Hey everyone not a single person has helped us with this problem ???

I have done everything that the tuts on oxygen have told me to and have even made my pics into pac files but I still can not get them into oxygen....I even did what Tman did and put them in my O2 file....NOT WORKING....I have uploaded my pics in the link above to make it easy for someone to help me with it! Which actually means anyone has been able to download it and take my blueprints to make their own freaking addon with using my stuff....but its worth it if someone would just help us out and get us over this problem!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

I had a look at your files beowulf, and, they are sized wrong.

The pictures should be sized in powers of 2.

For instance:

512 X 256
512 X 512
64 X 128.

etc etc

For your front and side views I suggest resizing to 256 X 512.

For the top view try 512 X 512, also your top view is angled, this might cause problems, I'm not sure if oxygen can rotate texture or not, or indeed if it will work.

Try orienting it in a North-South or South-North direction.


I'm not sure, but maybe the others have the same sizing problems.

There are many threads on this forum that have answered  these problems for the greater part.

Try searching the forums next time.

I had already resized these textures planck...sorry forgot to re upload the resized ones. but they still are not going in. I have redone the zip file with my latests ones and you can see them in either .paa or .tga format. Now even with the tuts on here (which i have read and followed), i cant get these  textures to load.

I downloaded your textures again beowulf and they work fine.
I can get them to display as background textures ok.

However the Top view is not to the same scale as the others, although the picture itself is 512 X 512, the drawing is a lot smaller.

It will need to be scaled up to approximately the same as the other 2 views.

Apart from that, they load ok.

Sometimes you need to look around in Buldozer in order to find your textures.
I notice sometimes they can be behind the view, so, rotate and zoom around till they come into view.
