Why don't you just use a FolderBrowserDialog instead of hard-coding the path?

I just did a function test of 1.2 and it seems okay so far. The alphas on the images aren't working properly though. See attached image. Are you copying images on save? Or just editing the fpi(s)?

Your skybox images are missing or your "use sky" setting is 0.

Look at the original images from FPSC. The buttons are .tga but they're converted to .dds at some point.

The icon image should be .tga or .dds, both with alpha so the black part of the box doesn't show. The button images can be .jpg if they're solid. I'm not sure why you're copying the images at all. Why don't you just edit the fpi(s) and leave the images alone?

I didn't mean "copying the images", I mean "converting the images". I know you have to copy them in case they're not the default ones that come with FPSC. You shouldn't have to convert them. Instead of copying from the PictureBox, use the path to the PictureBox and use the CopyFile command instead. That way there's no conversion of the file type.

I'm not sure exactly what you're saying. You can limit the type of file your user can select in a OpenFileDialog using a filter set to just .tga, .dds, .png and .jpg or something like that.

If the user wants to use a file type that's not supported by FPSC, then they won't be able to select it. I see that your program is trying to be nice by converting it for them, but your conversion isn't working properly.

I do some programming, yes.

PNG files are actually of the highest quality with alpha with nice compression. The issue I'm seeing is that FPSC uses pure black to be used as a pseudo-alpha channel based on RGB values. So anything in a .jpg that is pure black will become transparent. This is okay if you know this in advance, but not if you don't. To get around this, you'd have to resave the images with a shade higher than 0,0,0 or the black areas will be transparent.

Anyway, I still think that you should let the user worry about the conversion. For buttons, let them pick from .tga, .dds, .jpg and .png (.bmp if you're nice). And for backgrounds, let them pick from .tga, .dds, .png or .bmp**. This way, you don't have to do any conversion, just copy the source image file to the destination image file.

**JPG images in FPSC backgrounds get color distorted most of the time and render with splotchy colors. I think the reason for this is that no matter what format YOU want, FPSC converts it to .dds for gameplay.

Sure thing. People using their own custom buttons probably have the means to convert them already though.

Yes! That's exactly it. No conversion necessary.
