IxianMace Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 I've finished my first map using the Emperor Battle For Dune map editor, but I cannot make a thumbnail which means I cannot make all the files necessary to pack the map!!The Map Editor Help file is not much help, because I do not have the program 'Photoshop' and I can't open the !05%thumb.tga file with windows Imaging, or Paint. Can anyone help me find an alternate way to make a thumbnail? I'd like to post my map here ASAP!! >:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IxianMace Posted August 14, 2002 Author Share Posted August 14, 2002 Okay, can someone please give me a direct link to a program that I can download, or tell me some way to make the thumbnail? The site "the gimp" seems to be just about some porn crap, and jasc has too much stuff there. I mean, what am I supposed to get? Okay, I'm at the site. Now what? ???

Gobalopper Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 If you can't make one you can send the files to me and I can make the .cmf file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 15, 2002 Author Share Posted August 15, 2002 Well okay I'll send them to you, but does that mean that I have to keep sending you the map files every time I post a map here? I mean, shouldn't I learn to do things for myself? I appreciate help, but I can't rely on people forever, if you know what I mean.How do you want me to get them to you? Uncompressed, they're quite large all together. (6 files, without the thumbnail). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidiware Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 use map packer download form editing.dune2k.com utilities site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 15, 2002 Author Share Posted August 15, 2002 I've already got MapPacker. The problem is you need 7 specific files to pack a map properly and compress it to .cmf format. I lack the !05%thumb.tga file (i.e. the thumbnail) for my map, so I can't use MapPacker to send the map files. I need some way of making a thumbnail like all the other people did on their maps... ???

Gobalopper Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Have you got that image in another format say jpg or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 I can successfully make a thumbnail in .jpeg or .bmp form with some careful manipulation of screen shots and cut and paste actions in windows 'Imaging' and 'Paint'. But when I create the !05%thumb.tga file as normal and then put it in the folder with the rest of the map files, Emperor crashes when I go to select the map in the list. It ends up saying something like "runtime error, invalid texture".But yes, I do have the image in .jpeg and/or .bmp form if you want it. I just don't know how to convert the image to .tga format. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
