The file has to be 1024x512, 1024x1024 or 2048x2048. 1024x768 won't work.
Just saw this, so, if I adjust my dimensions of the large screen courier, it will be a universal fix. I'll give it a try ADukes, Thanks.

RB, I'll check out your suggestions. I feel some progress being made here after a couple of days of frustration. Thank!

Try this, 2 edited files zipped together, unzip and place/overwrite accordingly in B&F mod.

LargeCourierFix.zip

If this works, thank ADukes. If it doesn't, then Frak, I just wasted a whole lot of time.

Works like a champ! You're the man! :woohoo: Thanks guys.

Hey RB, while I've got your attention, have you ever been involved in competitive Drum and Bugle Corps? My business partner's husband is a percussion judge out here in California. Sometimes it's a small world.

RebBugler - Slighty Jumping Topic : A Forum Classic, carried over from the previous game!

Question - Do you know exactly which line controls the lenght of the text across the courier message?

Basically, if I wanted to reduce the width of the message, and have the text continue on another line, what controls this?

Thnaks,

Well, you have to hand it to RebBugler and ADukes – the mystery is finally solved!

Yeah, definitely great fix, learned a lot from that adventure. Went with the 1024x1024 scheme, had to rewrite all the parameters...WHEW. Thanks again ADukes, where were you 2 threads ago...just kidding...guess you just wanted me to flounder awhile, but when I gave up, you stepped in. Or maybe you were involved in a Wurstfest somewhere in Deutschland. :)

Missed the Drum and Bugle Corps thing, it was small back when I was in the age group, and none near Arkansas. I catch the performances on TV from time to time, extraordinary groups...
