Pictures in Scenarios

[K K Rossokolski]

i should know this but I don't. How does one put a picture into the opening page of a scenario?

The picture (bmp file) needs to be the same name as the scenario file and it has to be 256x125 pixels. You can size down a larger picture with ms paint.

Your scenario will then have a map, org, scen. and bmp. file. When you open the play new scenario the picture should be there.

Measure very precisely, cut to fit, and then glue the little picture to your monitor. Works best with super glue or some other really good glue like that.

This solution worked perfectly for me. The only downside being you will have the same picture in all scenarios. So think twice before you choose the picture :)

And one more thing, i have to do abit more scrolling if I am doing anything else on this very monitor :)

The pictures need to be 8 bit black and white pictures in addition to being correctly sized.

With GIMP, a free editor, that means setting it as a 1 layer grayscale picture.

Thanks BK,

I never tried anything but a black and white so I guess its why I had success. However I have seen some color pictures out there or pics with color in them!?
Guess these have to be changed to 8 bit gray scale first. I'm sure I'll mess around with these at some point.

I have seen many scenarios where the picture is in color. Hmmm...
At least von Neimack and a couple others were able to colorize theirs.

Maybe it is enough they are 8 bit compatible? I agree them being b/w or colour should not make a difference?
