ok i will be more percise

the pic that shows up when you scroll over a map on your xbox

when ever you put in a new level how do you get the pic that you want to show up so when ever you scroll over it?

Open the mainmenu.map in DotHalo, go into the Bitmap tag then find the map slot you added the new map to. Inject a .dds file of your new map.

is it just me or are the pics for 11-12 and 13-49 somehow linked... i change 12 and it changes 11. i change 13 and it changes all of 13-49.

is there a way around this or am i stuck? i tried updating the pic in the map but it shows the one in MainMenu.

I would try finding the pic, for whatever map you want, in dothalo then use a bitmap internalizer to internalize it and change it to whatever you want.....ok dont call me dumb

they are already internal... they just seem to be dependant on eachother. and i have looked at the dependancies and they arent listed.

NO NO NO the map photo is in the map you made, so when under bitmaps of lets say zanzibar the is one with the same name like"/scernios/zanzibar/zanzibar" that is the photo you need to change but its in a different format not .dds you have to find something to get that format right

A8R8B8G8 is the format and if you have the nVidia DDS plugin for PhotoShop you can save in A8R8B8G8(8bit alpha,8bit red,8bit blue,8bit green). i changed the file for beavercreek in the mainmenu.map and it changed it. i also changed the 13-49 image but they wont change independantly.
