I tried it with irfan view/paint.net but the game wont load it :/ which tool are you guys using? Could someone assist me to center these menu graphics below? :D

The tga files use some sort of custom bit format (15bit). If I remember correctly. Mvi has some info on converting to normal format (perhaps useful one day): http://mvinetwork.co.uk/2013/05/27/colour-code-snippets/ 

 

It's 16bit: http://d2kplus.com/wiki/index.php?title=Image_files

 

I once edited tga files correctly with paint shop pro something...: http://forum.dune2k.com/topic/21583-r8-and-r16-graphics/?p=386228

 

I also made a quick python program for you that adds black space to dune 2000 tga files. I call it background generator mark II. Very creative naming. :P Perhaps this is enough for you (see 'back' folder for generated resolutions) or else you are free to convert the code to c/c++ or whatever as long as you mention my name (and this forum). :)

It's 15 bit, the 16th bit is just padding. The code I posted should work fine if you have raw pixel buffers.

 

Photoshop supports editing these files without any issues. Alternatively a PNG<->15 bit TGA convertor should be trivial to code.

Feels like someone is volunteering ;)
