Help with packaged map previews

[badosu]

I am packaging my mod as such: `pyrogenesis -mod=balanced-maps -archivebuild=/home/badosu/Code/balanced-maps -archivebuild-output=balanced-maps.pyromod -archivebuild-compress`

When I do that, the `wrench.png` preview image is converted to `wrench.png.cached.dds`.

This is my `wrench.json` file: https://github.com/badosu/badmod/blob/master/maps/random/wrench.json#L6
 

When I try to select the wrench map on gamesetup I get the following crash:
 

tex_dds.cpp(446): Function call failed: return value was -120102 (Invalid/unsupported texture format)
Function call failed: return value was -120102 (Invalid/unsupported texture format)
Location: tex_dds.cpp:446 (decode_pf)

If I change the map preview reference to `wrench.png.cached.dds` it also fails.

Any ideas? This is my preview image: https://github.com/badosu/badmod/blob/master/art/textures/ui/session/icons/mappreview/wrench.png
 

Strangely enough I noticed some of the community-maps preview images are not converted into cached.dds, however if I package community-maps on my own machine, they are all converted and fail to load the preview when selected on gamesetup, no crashes though.

add -mod=mod -mod=public before -mod=balanced-maps and try again.

The problem is you are missing some files called textures.xml

Also from what I can see your image preview is non power of two. That will crash on mac for sure, and maybe some other oses.

it's needs to be something like 256x256 1024x1024

Awesome, it works! Thanks for the tips!

Is there any documentation on how the image should be generated? I noticed I have to make some gap on the bottom side but I'm doing trial and error.

I'm not sure, if not it should be written. Maybe @wowgetoffyourcellphone knows.
