How to enlarge an existing tga file

[Magua]

 

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to modify a .tga file to enlarge an image.  I've tried to resize and change the canvas with the image tab but when I save the file and open it in a game as a mod, it keeps coming up  the same original size,  256 X 256 pixels whenever I paste it to a surface  . I wanted to include a copy of the file in my post for your examination but was unsure of how to do so. I'd appreciate any help as I've spent hours trying to figure out a solution. 

Thanks.

wrong file

Your description is not completely clear. To clarify, did you try using Resize in the Image menu?

Affirmative.  Including the file in another format for attachment.

The image you have posted is only 104x104.

After you've saved the enlarged image, you should close and re-open it to ensure it was saved properly at the larger size.

Why? What's stopping you from saving at larger size?

Are you referring to a surface within your game?  Perhaps it's a limitation of the game.

It says I can only attach a file maximum size of .25MB.  Had to reduce to include for illustration.

Here a screenshot of my game.  The tga file is superimposed onto a dds file when the mod is applied.  It seems I can change the pixel values in the image tab and save it. But when I reload the game, the image is no larger.

I suspect your game is forcing the image to appear at that size.
