Need some assistance from someone who is more "file savy" then me! :eek1:
I've attached to this post a .bmp file that I would like to use for my Terror on Tarakan scenario picture... but even when I crop it down to the specified 256 pixels wide by 125 pixels high... when I insert it into the Rising Sun directory... and bring up the scenario... it does not display in the scenario photo window... everything is black. When I remove the "offending" .bmp file, then the standard U.S. & Japanese tanks display.
Help please!

Not sure what's going on, but try one of these. One is RGB (even though there's no color, and one's greyscale. My thinking is it's a color depth problem. Also, I cropped them to your stated dimensions.
Let me know. Can it be anything other than a BMP, like a jpg?

Hi Mike,

Hi Dave:
Really appreciate your assistance!
Unfortunately, neither one of your modified files worked. Still experiencing a "blank" scenario photo issue. Also, I made sure that I renamed your files with a .bmp extension. MWTarakan.bmp
Well, don't need to have a unique scenario photo, but would be nice.
Maybe Jason could assist here?

Hmmm. I called up one of the bmp's from a working scenario. The greyscale one I gave you used those exact settings. My suspicion is that it's not the image that's causing the problem, but the way the program call it up. If I'm right, then it's a question for the Jason Petho and the Matrix boys.
I can tell you, depending on the programming language, it's important that the file be named exactly. In other words, it the program says call up picture Mike.bmp and you've named it mike.bmp it won't work.
Where do you tell the program to insert the picture? Is it coded somewhere or do you name it the same name as the scenario and it's automatic? If the latter, try naming it Mwtarakan.bmp. Doubt it will work, but give it a shot...stranger things.
