how do you add pics to modded maps in the mainmenu

Post by AKtothaface »

i'm purdy much a noob when it comes halo modding i just downloaded decension and moonbase stronghold, i got them added to the mainmenu.map
to where i could pick them for play but it urks me that all they are is a white square in the mainmenu preview, i've dug all over the forums looking for a tut or guidence, but all i see is stuff about injecting and dds pics to the power of 2, and i have no idea what that even means, this is just mod to make it look pretty i guess, even if i could just turn it black that'd be great,i use insolence and i love it, great program props to all who made it, if i've confused anyone i wanna change the preview image of the maps on the multiplayer maplist, their on the right side with text and stuff, any help would be really great, thanx for reading my whining and babble :P

go into Dothalo, open the mainmenu map, then Bitmap tag. Go down to till you see Multiplayer34 and all that, go to your map's Number. say 15 or so, then click on it. Extract Bitmap, edit in a dds. editor, then save it. Inject Bitmap in dothalo, and Boom! there you go!
