How do i make my own minimap and loadingscreen???

Irfanview is much easier to use when it comes to resizing and cropping.

It will tell you the pixles x pixles on the top (file name) as you crop, trust me I use it all the time.

i use gimp 2 not to resize an image, i use it to attach graphic effects

ok thank u very much.
i wil get both programs very soon then i will see
if i have any problems.....

You... what do you think we' re talking about all the time? It' s IrfanView, the best image editing for the moment. The only problem is, it cannot convert .Tga in .Blp, I think it' s a big plugin coming soon. Get IrfanView at the official web site, www.irfanview.com

Have fun.

But by the way I wonder why, when I go on the GIMP web site, it tells me of downloading pretty much features before... Download GTK+, before downloading it, you will need JOS, and everything... I prefer Wc3Viewer and IrfanView for my editing. I also use a bit PhotoShop 6.0.
Laterz.

Ps: Edited 1 time.

Irfanview will never release a plugin to convert jpeg, .bmp or .tga to .blp. .blp is blizzard picture which is designed by Blizzard Entertainment for use in Warcraft III. .blp isn't used and known worldwide as its only specially designed for Warcraft III, and thats a game. Irfanview can open .blp sometimes though but in a " bluey " colour.

can irfanview convert a picture from 250 x 200 to 128 x 128 ????? and how????

were do i download that special loadinscreen mdx for blp files ???? A link would be apreciaded <-- i'm a bad speller <--- that to

1) Yes, just do either Edit->Resize or Image->Resize (Im not sure, I don't have IrfanView anymore)

2) You can either extract the LoadingScreen.mdx from the MPQ archive, or extract it from Blizzard's Monolith map.

no the loadingscreen.mdx from the monolith map is for tga. files..
extract from mpq......????????????????

oz021) Yes, just do either Edit->Resize or Image->Resize (Im not sure, I don't have IrfanView anymore)

No, there are 2 specific loadingscreen.mdx for .blp and .tga. Read my tutorial for more information on this.
If resizing the image doesn't accurately work, its because the length of the image should be equal (example: 100 x 100 pixles can be resized accurately instead of 200 x 433 pixles)

I have checked your tutorial several times, and i got it to work, but now i want the loadingscreen to be in blp. file. I just need the special loadingscreen.mdx for blp. files. I have checked the website you wrote it were in but i can't find it.

Its in www.campaigncreations.org > models > Loadingscreen.mdx (first one)

ok you must think i'm stupid but i can't find it

ok i got it now thx
