How do you get the Image and Description on scenario selection screen?

Make an HTML file called Overview.html and put it into your base mission folder

Use this as a skeleton

<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">
<p align="center"><img src="scenarioimage.paa" width="240" height="121"></p>
<p align="left">Small Description.</p>

</body>
</html>

You'll need Tex View 2 to make the image a .PAA, I'm not sure if it accepts JPG

I usually load JPGs or PNGs into a editing program like GIMP or Photoshop and save them as .TGAs and then load them into Tex View 2 to save it as a .PAA, it has problems using JPGs and PNGs.

If you want to have a bit more organization you can make a folder called images and put your images in that but change this 

<p align="center"><img src="scenarioimage.paa" width="240" height="121"></p>

to 

<p align="center"><img src="images\scenarioimage.paa" width="240" height="121"></p>

and all your images can be called from that, but make sure the path name has images\ before the file name.

You could also use Kegetys .paa plug in for Photoshop if you have that software. Kegetys .paa plugin is available in a set of tools he released.

Totally forgot about that and I have it lol, this works great too as long as you have Photoshop.

thank you guys, managed to get that working. now im having a problem with my description;

OnLoadMission="Takistani Peacekeeping";

OnLoadIntroTime=FALSE;
OnLoadMissionTime=TRUE;

disabledAI=FALSE;
ShowGPS=1;
showCompass=1;
showWatch=1;
showMap=1;
showNotePad=1;
briefing=1;
debriefing=1;

Is there something Ive missed? Do I have to put something in the init file?

Whats the problem you are getting with it?

I am pretty sure you do not need these two in the description.ext

briefing=1;
debriefing=1;

In your init file at the top put this in

execVM "Briefing.sqf";

As long as your briefing.sqf is in your root mission directory.

Also stop using spoiler tags lol.
