Uploading maps

[Goldfish4209 9]

I'm not really sure this is the right section to post this....,but here goes.

Can't upload. it says that it has a broblem accepting my pictures, but I only upload .jpg and .bmp pics. I tried to use .png, but no results. Why? I have a map I want to upload. Thanks.

By upload, do you mean render a region.  If so the grayscale, and the config.bmp needs to have the right ratio.  64 to 1, plus 1, that is grayscale to config.bmp in pixels.

I mean put one on the STEX. yes, the BMP was the right size, but the server says that the pic format isn't right or something.

Ok, I wasn't sure, as so many get the terms mixed up.  I can't help with the uploading issue you are having.

Hi Goldfish4209,

You have the wrong picture format they say?
I guess your using one with the wrong extension, isn't it a jpeg your suppose to use.
not sure thought but I believe it should be a .jpg

Something important! if you have made a jpeg, it has to be a .jpg not a .JPG, the same for bmp/png and gifs, the extention has to be in lower case, otherwise the map wont start rendering, well not in my expierience. add either .jpg .bmp .gif or .png, i apologise of this isnt the problem, but i thought it was something you should know.

To upload a map, you have to have the greyscale image.  Upload the thing as a .zip file and you shouldn't have a problem.
