Increasing height on Xart frames

Hi there.

I have this problem. I can't seem to get the Xart frames to be higher than 256 pixels. I tried messing around with some of the script files to make it create images that were 400 pixels high in the game, but they just dissapear if I do so.

Basically, what I need is to make it accept images that have a height of 400 pixels in the game and have them implemented. Works fine aslong as my images are only 256 pixels high.

Already tried DiscordArt, but really really dont like it much. Any help would be appreciated

Problem XArt is having is some limitations imposed by the game engine itself. WoW will only accept images with a certain range: 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512. Notice the trend? In order to use a 400px high image ingame you will need to have in a 512 px high frame. Just make the unused portion of the frame transparent.

If you wish to have greater control over resizing your textures you could even try eePanels.

Or you could try Discord Art.

You've been a little lazy at reading lately, Dread.

Here's the result, if anyone is curious

Priest UI made for 1440x900 and Healbot, Sacredbuff, FuBar etc

Big raid: http://www.profilplus.dk/UUI.jpg
All alone: http://www.profilplus.dk/UUI2.jpg
Smaller raid: http://www.profilplus.dk/UUI3.jpg

btw, I guess I could make the frames be 1024 pixels high if I wanted to, aye? Might wanna toy around with that at some point

no, 512x512 is as high as you can go.
