You can use a .jpeg pic perfectly and use a .paa picture as well. What's the difference between jpeg and paa? I don't know. Anyway, you need to have a picture of a size that must be a power of two e.g. 128x64, 256x128, etc. If you want to put the photo in the overview that will be shown when you select the mission in the menu, create a file called overview.html. with this code:

Code: [Select]
<html>

<head>

<title>Overview</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<br>

<br>
<p align="center"><img src="Mis01.paa" width="170" height="64"></p>
<BR>
<p>
</p></body>
</html>

Of course instead of Mis01.paa you can put the name of your pic. In width put its original width, not the size you got after changing the size to a power of two. In height the same.

Well done on completing your first mission Azraell!   (It's a good feeling, isn't it?)    If you need help with beta testing you can post your mission in the Beta testing forum.   It's definitely worth getting somebody (either a pal using a different computer or somebody from the forum) to take a look before you submit, just to make sure everything is working as it should.

For the picture in your overview you can use either a .jpg or a .paa.    If you want to use the .paa you need to get the converter from the flashpoint1985 site but there isn't really any point - jpg is fine.   I think there is a tutorial in the Ed Depot on how to add your pic if you are stuck.

The new submission guidelines have not been finalised yet so nobody is quite sure what is the correct spec/size for the extra pics ..... I just submitted my mission without any for the time being, I'm sure it can be sorted out later.     I do know that you will need to include a readme with your .pbo.

If any Administrators out there have better information I'd be glad to stand corrected.
