Darth Will Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 Hey i might be stupid or something, but whenever i make or download a banner, it wont show up on SS. they are saved on .bmp files, when i make them and save them they dont show up in "create/edit banners" , am i missing a step? i haven't found any tutorials, so this might help a lot of people. thanks, Darth Will
Hakaku Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 In-game, press ESC, then press B. The banner menu will show up. Select a banner that you have by using PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN, then press ENTER to use that banner.
Darth Will Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Posted June 8, 2009 you misunderstand what im saying. they dont show up there. i tried doing the process the faq suggested, but the is no tab named "security" is there any other way?
Samapico Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 Make sure they are placed in your Continuum\banners folder, and that they are 12x8 bitmap in 256 colors format. Also, what Hakaku was talking about is the ingame 'select banner' thing, not the 'create/edit banner' window accessible from the main menu, which you were referring to. For the security tab... are you 1) using Vista? 2) Administrator on your system? Also you can try to move the Continuum folder somewhere else rather than Program Files as PoliX posted previously.

Hakaku Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 You've completely lost me. You're talking about banners... What does security even have to do with this? Plus you're not even using Vista, so obviously there won't be any 'security' tab... To create a banner, first you have to open Continuum, go to Edit/Create banner. Press the new button, draw something, and then 'save as' the banner into your Continuum folder (usually C:\Program Files\Continuum\). To display your banner in a zone, log in, press ESC, then press B. The banner menu will show up. Select a banner that you have by using PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN, then press ENTER to use that banner. Are you saving your banners in the proper folder? If the banner isn't located anywhere within Continuum's folder, then of course it won't show up.

rootbear75 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 ummm i dont have vista...Do you have XP Home? because as far as I understand, Home doesn't have the same security things as Pro
Caster Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 This problem happened with me a few years ago,confirm that you have a banners folder in your Continuum folder, if not;just right click, create new, new folder - afterwards, rename it to banners. Make sure when you are saving your banners, that they are in the banners folder.
