You made it!

You see the light
at the end of the tunnel
and the fresh mountain air
caresses your face.
You take one final look behind
as you exit the cave.
Just like Jojo,
you live to fight another day.

Well done!

re-downloaded the file he sent me and it still does not work. =( maybe i am destined to use the one from the game.. even if it doesnt fit as well.
Meraz you are still using wrong path to the file I believe. Are you sure you have copied the mountain.dds to this path ?
assets/cinematics/
?
from default there is always mod_assets/cinematics folder and not just assets folder.

the game will not find an asset outside of your mod_assets folder unless you type the entire path from c:\ (I'm not even sure it will work then.) thats why u do not have to type the entire path, it automatically starts in your dungeon folder just before "mod_assets" so if you type it a path, it starts in your dungeon folder, and is trying to find a folder that does not exist in the same folder mod_assets is in. So if u put the pic in "assets", you would have had to make an "assets" folder inside your dungeon folder.

What should my drop downs be set to in Paint.Net to make them small like you did?
