Stinking Books

So I'm just trying to get a image into a book for my mod and for the love of sithus I am not able to do it...

I've followed the guide HERE, However, I need the book to have text on the first page and the pictures on the next few pages.

I can't even get a image to show up at all even without any text.

The book:


<FONT face=1>

Stuff here

 <HR>

 <br>

<DIV align="center"><IMG src=â€Book\TESATavern\symbols1.dds†width=512 height=512>

I only have one image in so far, since that' I'll that I have found.

Any idea on how to do this, before I blow a hole in this book?

Edit:

I have the image in the following path

"Data\Textures\menus\Book\TESATavern\symbols1.dds"

The image itself is 512x512

Thanks in advanced :pints:

Well that article does caution "It seems some form of text, or a space after additional coding placed after an <IMG> tag helps stop the disruption." and indeed, when I look at Imperial Furniture's catalogue, Amajor7 put a single quote at the end of each image line, like this:


<div align="center"><img src="am7books\am7ifcatimpbed.dds" width=256 height=256>'
[/xml]

Perhaps you could try that even though you only have one image because I don't see anything wrong with your code. Unless there's something about the image that it doesn't like...

Heh, you'll have to highlight that line to see it...

You can make the DDS file any size you want, but only 444 x 650 can be displayed in-game. Unlike HTML, Oblivion doesn't resize the image - it simply displays the top-left section if you specify a size smaller than the image itself.

So what you could do is create the image at 444 x 650 and then add black space at the bottom and right hand side to increase the canvas size to 512x1024. In the book itself though, you would still use:

<img src="am7books\am7ifcatimpbed.dds" width=444 height=650>

I've done quite a few "Quote" Picture books and The width of the texture has to be abnormal, but 480 width or smaller.

Don't recall what the exact max height dimension is, but 512 will work. I think the max for height is somewhere around 650ish... You'd have to test to find the max height by opening the book to see if it CTD.

For example your book pic could be cropped from say a 512x512 pic to a 480x512 texture

I always label the book pic texture with the dimensions also. Ex: ObivionBookCreator480x369.dds

Getting the text to display nicely under the pic is a whole different story, especially if you have font changer mods...
