  :D Here are some misc rep's from earlier threads  :-*

 :)  like this ( overview file ) :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Overview</title>
</head>

<body>

<br>
<h2 align="center"><a name="Main">YourMissonName</a></h2>

<p align="center"><img src="YourPicHere.jpg" width="170" height="64"></p>
<BR>

<p>
YOURTEXTHERE
<br>
</p>

<br>

</body>
</html>

 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The line of the picture is this one:

<p align="center"><img src="warpic.jpg" width="170" height="64"></p>

 or :

 Put in your briefing file the code;

<p align="center"><img src="warpic.jpg" width="200" height="160"></p>

Where you can align the picture, Left, Right , Center.  
The file anme of the image, you can only use jpgs in version 1.3 and later, otherwise you must use a paa, or pac.  
The width and height are in pixels.  200 is as wide as the briefing can fit.
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
...where "warpic.jpg"  is the name of the screenshot ya put in the miss. folder  
 
Read some of the tutes on the subject, m8 - it can take a few hours to get used to if
yer not into html stuff at all.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

how are u getting the pics so clear ?

-Set time 12.00 (if u want in daytime) + no fog
-Copy and paste in paint (Windows default program).
-Stretch and skew to 256x128 (pixels)
-save as .jpg
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHEERS  :cheers: :afro:

Look up the Tutorial Mission in the Ed Depot - Getting Started and nick the Overview.htm that's in there.    All you have to do is change the text and picture name.

Also the pictures need to be the correct sizes..

you can do
2x2
4x4
8x8
16x16
32x32
64x64
128x128
256x256
512x512...

You can also stretch the horizontal and vertical lines if you want...
so it could be
4x32
or
128x16

as long as you use ONLY these numbers 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512
your good to go with pictures in ya briefing

Just to clarify ..... your .jpg/.paa must be saved with both sides a multiple of 2 in pixels.   However, in the Overview.htm you can define the picture to be any size you want.     170x64 is popular because its the size used in the official missions.
