Hi,

Put this in your description.ext file:

class RscPicture
{
   type=0;
   idc=-1;
   style=48;
   colorBackground[]={0,0,0,0};
   colorText[]={1,1,1,0.3};
   font="tahomaB24";
   size=0;
};

class RscTitles
{
   class TitlePic1
   {
      idd=-1;
      movingEnable=0;
      duration=4;
      name="TitlePic1";
      controls[]={"Title"};
      class Title: RscPicture
      {
         text="NameOfPicFile";
         x=0.420000;
         y=0.300000;
         w=0.160000;
         h=0.300000;
      };
   };
};

Just replace the bold text with the name of your picture file.

And then use the class name (TitlePic1) to show your picture:

titleRSC ["TitlePic1", "plain"]

You can also edit the duration field, distance from left (x), distance from top (y), width (w) and height (h) to your own needs.

Repeat the process 3 times (with different class names) putting the names of each picture and your done.

Cheers

i put the script u gave in the description.ext and then put the

["TitlePic1", "plain"]

into a sqs file called intro, i then ran this script from a trigger in the editor using this line

[] exec "intro.sqs";

when i start the mission i get a error sayng that the pic isnt found, i put the picture in my mission folder, do i need to put it elsewere?

i want the picture to cover the whole screen, is this possible?

When you change (and save) something in a description.ext , you always have to reload your mission to see the effect.

It sayds that by default when ever you register here. Just login and click the "profile" button near the top of the page. There you can change "I am a Llama" to what ever you want

Not possible, CoC used 200+ JPEG files shown in rapid succesion.  

[ponq]

CoC used 162 files for their launch movie. Still a lot.

Just consider that if you want a smooth movie you'll need 20-24 frames per second (so 20-24 .jpg per second). Even a short movie of 5 seconds would still require at least 500kb of jpg files in  low quality.
But it is possible.
