Custom loading screen dimensions problems

[shawnzorr]

Alright so I have made a custom picture myself with the dimensions of 512 x 256. I originally tried using the 2048 x 1024 size. I have both and have attempted both.
So I have changed my description inside my dayz_mission.pbo file to say

loadScreen = "addons\ServerPicture.jpg";

In my mission.pbo files I have a folder name "addons" with the image inside named "ServerPicture" which is a .jpg. Upon loading into the server I get this message.

" image mpmissions\__cur_mp.chenarus\serverpicture.jpg:
dimensions 2048x1042 not 2^n"

I can't find any information on this error. I need help! Even though I have attempted to use both the 512 x 256 and the 2048 x 1024 the error message still states an issue with the 2048 x 1024 dimensions?? I am confused and any information will be greatly appreciated.

I use this.

Right click picture, select resize. Insert dimensions, select stretch and it does it for you.

dimensions 2048x1042 not 2^n"

The error just told you that you sized it wrong. 1024 is what you want, not 1042
