Guys and dolls, i have a favour to ask...
Both Blitz and Mistytropics are nearly out of their beta stages, but one thing is missing from them - AMINATED LEVEL PREVIEWS!!!! :P
...so, i was wondering if i could supply some screenshots to someone, they might do me the favour of using a photo editing package (which i do not posess) to change their dimentions to 512 (wide) x 256 (high) - no more, no less! Also, these images need to be saved as 8 bit bitmap (bmp) images.
You may feel these are not necessary and i should just get on with releasing em', but the one thing that puts me off dl'ing a level is a lack of a screen preview for it, and i want to hook these lvls up to map sites when im happy they are complete.
thanks in advance

I think beef would be able to oblige... that is if the MONGREL hadn't just INTENTIONALLY infected his machine with an obvious trojan!

If you have the screens and for some strange reason, MitchriX bails out for some reason, I'll do it.

if u have downloaded it to ur cache folder u can always install them from the folder.
Here's how:
download a useful program called UT2004MI (http://wh.rabbit.free.fr/nk/index.php?file=Download&op=description&dl_id=3)
and buzza has made a nice tutorial on how to set it up here (http://sharpfab1.free.fr/sharpsite/viewtopic.php?t=387)
hope this help's and thk buzza for the tutorial thread :)

Thanks majestic, but i've tried that ut2004mi prog and it always has an error when i try to compress uz2 files...what i really need is someone to email me the map if they have downloaded a zip or rar of it, im shock002@gmail.com. Unfortunately i dont have it in my cache, which seems to even delete maps i play regularly like redrooms.
so thanks if any1 can help :)...
Quote from: nova- Wanna keep your cache longer than 30 days?
UT2004.ini:
[Core.System]
PurgeCacheDays=999
Or just get UT2004MI ---> it reads out your cache and you can choose the files you'd like to keep permanent:

i use the ut2004 cache extractor, its basically the same thing, i prefer to do that as i go into servs with safegame and it goes really slow if your cache is full

;D reading before you post ftw! ::)
PS: Nova, u hav a good point about the invis pickup, but i'd like to test it in my map neway for now. I may remove it if i think it will be exploited. However, following on uffish's point on using teamwork: the pickup will be in a tunnel under the base which teleports you to the top of the base with an ion painter. The only way to get in is if a team-mate holds the door open for you, so im rewarding teamwork here.
