Preview Image

[Zenonoth]

I need help in adding a preview image for my map, so it displays when I upload it, so I could really use help knowing how it is done.

Thanks for your time...

Ok.
1. Need a .tga image that is either 64 X 64, 128 X 128 or 256 X 256
2. Import your .tga image
3. Change its path to War3mapPreview.tga
4.Done

Any idea, where I can get this type of image, and what to do after I import and change it's path

After, I import it into the editor, and change it's path, what to do next?

That's all you need to do.

make sure you get rid of the war3mapimported\ before it, though

 

[Levadam]

Also make sure you don't have "Hide minimap in preview screens" checked in Map Options (Scenario -> Map Options...)

You can get basicly any version of photoshop and simply open any image and just save it as .tga

Don't even need Photoshop. Just use paint to edit it.

Paint doesn't allow you to convert files to .tga as far as I am concerned, but you might aswell try if yours can.

GIMP is the easiest and free-est (?lol?) program it converts to TarGA, JPEG, gif etc

Use Infraview.. It's easy to use, resize, convert images...

maybe this could help? ( it helped to me )

wrong one.. he wants the little icon which shows up when you choose the map...

 

[Svenski]

Irfanview is the way to go if you want to do it yourself.

NO!!! you dont understand!!! he is asking for the little picture when you select the map in *create a map* and you see the "icon"
