How do I make Pictures for my levels?

[WAD master]

You know, those pictures that show up in level select, right beside the level name? How do I make those?

I've taken the screenshot, then loaded it into XWE on my WAD (even though it's too big), now what?

How Do I shrink the size of the picture without disturbing the quality?

I READ THE WIKI! IT DOES NOT HELP!

Use anything other than MSPaint to resize the image.

 

[WAD master]

Hehe, I use Photofiltre.

What does the image size need to be?

 

[Shuffle]

I don't know, why don't you extract the pictures in srb2.srb and find out..?

 

[WAD master]

how do you extract something from XWE.....

Just give me the Image.

 

[Shuffle]

No, get it yourself! D:

Printscreen or bust, FYI.

 

[WAD master]

Printscreen?

What does the image size need to be?

About the size of a Photobucket thumbnail of an srb2 screen shot.

Nonono. You're all wrong, muahahahahaha!

Here's what you do:

You take a fancy screenshot of your level that you want as your picture.

You resize it to 160x100 in anything other than MSPaint.

You import it into your WAD as MAPxxP (the xx being replaced by your map number)

You're done!

EDIT: Oh yeah, it has to be a Bitmap as well.

Really? In my NeoPaint program I have to resize it to 1.07x0.67 O_o

That's not even in pixels, as there's no such thing as a fraction of a pixel.

Lol, inches.

160 in height, 100 in width. It'll be hard to resize the pic without losing major quality when in MSpaint.
