Big Problem for Cinematic Mask

[jonhysone]

Hey guys,

I have a huge problem with Cinematic masks (Fade in - Fade out trigger)

Well , I don't want to use a Black or White mask, I imported my own with 512x512 resolution, but it seems to be having a very low quality and also expanded-width.

I just want a pure high quality mask, just as same as how I made it in the TGA form (before converting it using WC3Viewer with 99% Quality)

Anyone knows the problem?

EDIT : I didn't need to convert into BLP. USING the TGA format (the original one) helped me out, (I thought they don't work).

Size.
Any mask scales to the full screen size.

Lemme check the actual screen resolution of WC3.

EDIT:
1366x576 should work just fine.

Thanks for the fast reply,

however, the mask isn't actually a full-screen mask, it starts from the upper Bar ( of gold and lumber and stuff) and finishes with the UI lower tiles. That's why it was expanded and 512x512 resolution is really terrible.

As for 1366x576 , I didn't test it but I badly guess that it will be also shrunk. I am gonna test that anyways.

Ofc, 1366x576 is a reasonable full screen resolution...

Does your pc have a resolution of 1366x576?
I guess that your X might be the same but Y is a bit bigger.

Since I am using a laptop, yes I do.

It may be a reasonable resolution, yet it doesn't fit a fading mask because it's shrunk.

I will test it when I get to my laptop right away.

I was being sarcastic, 1366x576 is horrible... in fact, it is the exact resolution without the top and bottom WC3 UI bars.

Standard 1366 resolution would be 1366x768 (16:9).
Can you tell me the exact screen resolution in the options of WC3?

 

[jonhysone]

It was 1024 x 760 (or around that)

Anyways, I didn't have to convert TGA (original masks) into BLP , they lost all the quality and they got stretched. But eventually it seemed that TGA files work as masks.

1024x570 should work.

When posting about quality I would recommend also posting a screen shot of what you mean.

With such images, if we saw JPEG compression artefacts on the overlay but not on the game content then we could tell you that the JPEG compression factor of the overlay image is too high. If it looked lower resolution that the source image then something must be wrong with the bilinear filtering using the incorrect mipmap level.
