Customized Logo???

[Engioc]

Hi everyone, just bought this game yesterday arvo, just wondering if it's at all possible to add my own customized logo in to the game?

If it is possible can someone explain what's required to add one, eg file size, resolution, type of graphic?

You need a dds file 128x128 pixels.
Create an "addons" folder where the game is installed, inside it, create a folder with a name of your choise, and inside this create a folder called "company-logos". Put the logo there.
Should be: Cities in Motion\addons\name\company-logos\logo_name.dds

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try although mine may be different. I bought on DVD from my local EB but its only a STEAM version so I guess the folders will be different.

**Edit: that doesn't seem to work, every time I try to click new game and then sandbox it throws me back to desktop. I tried moving the file and folders to the Cities in Motion save location in My Docs, but that gives the same result, throws me back to desktop.

***Edit: This is what is generated in the log file:

Opened log in "userdata/log_metro.txt".

Closed log in "userdata/log_metro.txt".

The path used for my logo is:
C:\Users\Christopher\Data\Cities In Motion\addons\cagtc\company-logos\cagtc.dds

Note Data is simply where I've redirected the normal Win7 documents folder to. Going by the log its having a problem finding the dds file and despite the location I have put the file the log shows it looking in a different location.

When converting the file to dds should it be DXT1, DXT3, DXT5, something else?

The addons folder should be in: "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\cities in motion" for the steam version.
If you want to be sure about the dds file, you can download a logo someone else created and change it.
For example: http://www.citiesinmotion.net/index....aseItem&id=219

That is a known bug from CIM, for addons you need the same dds file in

addons/<addon_name>/company-logos/
and
addons/<addon_name>/logos/

as the addon loader script has an error. I think I already told that somewhere here on the forums...

I should stop commenting when I am too tired...
You told that to me when I had this issue.
