Pictures for my custom stories?

[Raymond]

I wanted to snapshot but how? Sorry that i am a noob .

I think F8 does something like that.

Otherwise FRAPS should do the job. (yes the free version should work fine, I used it for a few screenshots)
Just convert the BMP file to a PNG (recommended) or JPEG file.

Ok thanks.

I got a problem, i downloaded the Fraps, i snapshot 1 time, i change them into .PNG, but why does my custom story still doesn't have pictures ?

You mean just before pressing start?
In that case, have you got this code in your extra_english.lang?

Code: (Select All)

    ImgFile="picture.png"

In that case, have you got this code in your extra_english.lang?

I am about 150% sure that it is "custom_story_settings.cfg".
Anyway, if you need help adding the code then check out this article.

Ok, my custom story is like this:

<Main
Name="One World To Another"
Author="Anson"
ImgFile="A Dork with a sword.PNG"

StartMap="One World To Another.map"
StartPos="PlayerStartArea_1"
/>
(I renamed the Picture's name to "A Dork with a sword.PNG")
Than i test my map but the map doesn't have a picture (only got descriptions), what king of problem is this ?

Edit: Sorry for the late reply, i was sleeping just now .

Well, try this out then:

1. Open Paint, open the picture inside of paint, save it as PNG.
   In case you simply renamed it to a PNG file this is most likely the cause.
   
2. Try not to use any spaces.
   I doubt this is the cause, but who knows?
