[Gold_Panda94 0]

Hey guys, I got this and greyscaled it but its not working in the game. when I choose it and press ok the game doesn't do anything. I've imported maps before but this is my first image I've wanted to import. Can you guys help me? lol

Edit: got rid of that line on the left side of the pic.

The maximum size for images in the forum is 800x600, please conform to the site rules.

Hi Gold Panda!

I guess the size is wrong.

Is it 1021x1021 pixels?

For a map of 16x16 tiles, it should be 1025x1025 pixels.

The rule is: tiles x 64 + 1

Make sure the image is a true 8 bit, 256 color grayscale jpg. Also, make sure the file name appears in the selection box after highlighting the file.

I'm not sure if SC4 can read jpgs. It can read png files for sure. In addition, it's not a good idea to use jpg for maps. So, try to save it as grayscale png. Why don't you use the tool I introduced, FantastiCoast. It can be used as a converter and it DOES save 8-bit pngs in the correct format. You only have to save your file as bmp in paint, because FantastiCoast does not accept jpg.

SC4 does render jpgs which is why all of my earlier fantasy maps are jpg grayscales.

@ Gold_Panda94: Irfanview [an image program] can used to make your jpg an 8bit grayscale.
