Hey ho ! I made my own scenario and all works fine so far.. but! I added some preview pics for the playfields... in this case for 4 Orbits i added 4 selfmade .jpg into the playfield directory. I renamed every jpg to: empty_preview.jpg When i start the scenario in SP all works fine... i am able to see my selfmade images... but when i load up an MP or COOP the other players just see the default pictures and not my selfmade ones... Are you able to help me? and sorry 4 my bad english ^^
Are the pic the correct format ? Are the well under 1mb in size ? Are they named correctly inside your folder, if I remember right they should be called preview All players should see the same pics.
What is the correcht Format? They over 1mb :x is it important? They called "preview_empty" and a second file with " preview"
Must be: * jpg * less than 500kb (i had best experience with that ; should be automaticly when jpg) * both filenames are valid, but i just havent figured which one is used when.. (while repeatable, not realiable to my experiece.. not sure if this makes sense to you) * will NOT work for Servers/mp
* they are jpg * changed size of pictures under 500kb *Are you sure it not works for Multiplayer Servers? If its true why eleon implemented this feature? xD
For single player and creative mode? And yes im sure, i went through the same pain, just to see that there were no screenshots of 'mine' used when the scanrio was used on a server. Hth
Well unless it changed, yes they do work in MP. I havent tested This version [ version 8 ] but every version in the past has allowed my pics to show for clients. It has to be set up in dedicated server folder, not scenario folder. A side note, preview pics add lots of loading time for your clients. My scenario had about 200 planets and 15 starters, thats 15 starter pics, thats a fair wait to download and play as a client connecting to the server. All them pics added around 2mb to the download of a client, its not a huge issue but it might be soemthing worth keeping in mind if you have alot of starters.
Hmm… Maybe then the server owner just deleted those pics before he made the scenario available… All i know is, during my local Tests i had preview Images, when i loged in to the Server for the first time, there were some standard/default Images... So if i said something not accurate, i'm sorry. Just said my experience.
