Fixing Missing Chatbox Background
« on: June 18, 2020, 05:10:57 am »
Ever had a moment where your background for your chat was completely missing?

I'm sure many have seen it at some point... It looks like this:


Well it turns out to be quite a simple fix!
Just edit panelCenter.png with paint and resize the image from 1x1 to 8x8!


and voila! It should now look like this:


Have fun! :D

This will be helpful to some users who find difficulty in reading messages when looking up at the sky, particularly when they do so to multi-tab.
Good work.

Thank you for this tutorial, Vortex! <3 I know that this usually happens when I use OpenGL so even switching rendering systems can help with this too.

Aye, mine happened from using OpenGL as well, this will fix it for either rendering subsystem. No more missing backgrounds. c:

A proper fix for this has been needed for some time now. Thanks for sharing, Vortex!

Thanks Vortex! I have experienced this issue before too. I know that it only occurs with the OpenGL renderer and I actually figured out why. When I was writing my own game engine, I noticed that OpenGL requires the width and height of all textures to be powers of 2. Which is obviously what is causing that issue. All of the textures need to have dimensions that are powers of 2 in order for them to work properly with Ogre's OpenGL renderer. For some reason, Direct3D doesn't seem to care...
