Created my own player but where to put the .dds file?

Not sure if I followed the instructions to save the file properly but I did whatever was written by TruBlu if not wrong.

So how to see my own creation?


Thanks in advance!

Hello, we can t see the dds file, you have to put it in a zipfile when you attach the pic in the Forum.
Or you can save it as jpeg ( jpg )and then you can attach the pic in the Forum.
When you have a dds pic for your player that you want to show up in the game, try to save it in this location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Sports\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08\Data\Players

( so you have to put the dds pic in folder: Players )

Some more help on link below:

Thanks mate. Here's the jpeg.

I've placed it in the folder as specified but still can't see it.

So wonder what did I do wrong.

When saving the file there's no such option as mentioned by TrueBlu so I copied and pasted the options from his post before saving the file. Photoshop and Paint.net can see the file but not any other photo/graphic viewer programs.

Adding in here is that am using a player I created and had been playing with this player all these while. Just want to make it looks "real" with the real picture displayed.

Thanks!

usually when you create a player - or use a created player - and play a few holes or a course
then an image file is created by the game in the

C:\Users\username\Documents\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08\Career\Players\PlayerName
(or similar named location for XP)

and is named: photo.tga

this is based on what facial features, clothing etc etc are used in Gameface

from that image an icon button like you posted above is created By The Game in that same folder but is named
photobtn.tga

it is actually a .dds image file but the game names it with the .tga extension

IF - you want to use your real picture instead of the gameface picture for the photobtn/icon

open the Player folder where the photo and photobtn images are
copy/paste both in the folder, so you have a back up copy of each

Rename the photobtn.tga file to photobtn.dds

open in your image editor that can process .dds files

note: the photo.btn template if the same as the logo template, seen on the courses page at left
- so use that if you want to start with

insert the image you want on the player button to the photobtn template

save as .dds

copy/paste it so you have a copy

rename it to photobtn.tga

it will show in the game as your player button/icon
