Nerzek,

Layers are different than Channels. You may only have one Layer, but you will have at least 4 Channels -- RGB, Red, Green and Blue. Adding the Alpha will bring your Channel total to 5. If you have the Alpha hidden, you will get the "too many Channels" error. All of the Channels need to be visible. To quote the section of Sinastra's tutorial that deals with the Channels...

Click your Channels tab (should be on the same box with Layers) and click the ‘Create New Channel’ button.

Select the Alpha Layer it creates, and paste your clipboard (the black and white image) into this channel.

Now, click and make all the channels visable (click the empty boxes next to them where you see the eye on the alpha mask).

Remember this step, it is a quick and easy way to do alpha masks!

Now save the duplicated image as a DDS file with the following settings: DXT5 ARGB 8 bpp | interpolated alpha

Hi, every time I try to upload more then one item in a sims3pack, it won't let me. I'll been trying about four different items. So, I just put one in the pack and it accepted that. Is there a limit or file size, it has to be? And what should go in it? The picture size is 64 x 64 inches or pixels or what? Maybe I'm using the wrong size. Thank you

I know that channels and layers are different. I have the five channels and none of them are hidden. Could someone just tell me where I am supposed to change the settings for saving the .dds file?

[Ebonleif1317567642]

@ Nerzek - you change that setting in the plugin itself. You wont be able to change that setting on the file you're having trouble with because it won't open the dialogue area for you, so create a tiny new file and save that as DDS when the dialogue pops up, change your settings...follow through with the save, then try again with your original...It happened to me once that way and that's how I managed to work around it, hope it works for you :)

I can not install TSR Workshop Public Beta the TSRW.exe
Because
there was a problem with this windows instaler package. A program run as part of the setup file did not finish as expected. Contact your support or package vender.

The one you downloaded is the one for patterns and meshing etc. All in one program. Did you try to download again and install? May be a problem with the file.

If that doesn't work, you might want to post your computer specs - pc or mac, windows xp or vista, etc. to help someone to help you.

[Nerzek]

thanks. I figured out that there was one thing i had to uncheck to get it to work. But still thanks for all the help.

i have install the workshop beta. now i cant start it. it comes always the same: tsr workshop could not locate the game folder. would you like to browse for it manually?

ok, i browse and search c:programms/electronic arts/sims3/gamedata/shared/packages and then comes the same report. what must i do?

[Murano]

You need to choose C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 only. :)

[dadid]

I have a problem with the TSR workshop. I can''t install it, it says please locate the download folder in program files but I didn't install sims 3 in program files how do I install it?

Please help

[Murano]

The install path is mostly language dependant. If the path is always C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 Workshop could locate it itself. :)

Hey , Um Well I Need Abut of help which is really confusing me. I Know you have to download it here : http://developer.nvi....html#downloads And The thing i dont know is Which one do i download? Current Or Legacy And Where Do i Put It Because i thought it would be a file not an application so can someone help me Please???? :(

[Murano]

You need to download the current version for Photoshop. Then you install the plugins by running the exe. :) If you don't operate on an english system, you might check the Photoshop folder where it put the plugins to and move them if needed.

[frisbud]

To add to what Murano just said...

After you install the plug-in, you may need to enable Photoshop to find the plug-in. Go to Edit, Preferences, Plug-ins. Click to enable the checkmark for Additional Plug-ins, then use the Choose button to find the folder where you put the plug-in. Click OK when that is done. The next time you start Photoshop it should be able to recognize the DDS files.

Thank You FrisBud And Murano :D
