mcnorth 0 Posted January 18, 2003 Why .paa? .jpg works fine and I know a little about that. First take your screen shot and save it in .jpg format. Its dimensions have to be in powers of 2 which is hard to do when taking a screen shot. You'll probably have to open it in an editing program (I use photoshop) and crop it to something like 512 x 256 or 1024 x 512. It also helps to draw a little white border around it which will eliminate jaged edges when it appears in your overview. Save it to your mission folder. The picture itself is placed with the file overview.html. If you're using a briefing and overview generator (3rd party program) open the overview.html (use your browser, click view source or you can use Word or any other html editor) after it has been created and make sure it didn't put a path in. The part that places the picture in the overview should look like this. <p align="center"><img src="MyPic.jpg" width="128" height="64"></p> Just for clarity that entire overview.html for this example is, <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1250"> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="VB"> <title>Overview</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <br> <h2 align="center"><a name="Main">Mission Name</a></h2> <p align="center"><img src="MyPic.jpg" width="128" height="64"></p> <BR> <p> Overview description goes here <br> </p> </body> </html> Notice that the dimensions in the overview.html don't have to (and usually shouldn't) match the size of the actual picture. There is some really good info on this at www.ofpec.com but they seem to be down at the moment. mcnorth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
