substitute the "x" and "y" for coordinates of your choice
I recommend you replace the "x" with one half the width of your image in pixels preceded by "c-" (if your image is 300 pixels wide, put "c-150" where the "x" is) - this will center your image horizontally [remember some people play the game with only 800 pixels width]
I recommend you replace the "y" with "e20" - this will place the image 20 pixels underneath the energybar vertically (can always increase [e40, e60, e200] etc if you'd like it lower) [remember some people play the game with only 600 pixels height]
save this file as whatever.ini
of course, substitute any "whatever"s with whatever you want to call it
image.gif can be named anything you want (just don't go crazy or use any names that the game uses [like 'ships' or 'repel'])
image can be .gif, .bmp, .jpg or .png
run buildlevel.exe on your .ini file, this will create a .lvz file
upload the .lvz file to your server by one of the following methods...
[1] - it's your server - put the .lvz file into the server folder
[2] you have sysop - make sure the .[v]lvz[/b] file is in your main Continuum directory and then use "*putfile whatever.lvz" in-game
[3] you are not sysop - get a sysop to do #2 (or #1) for you
finally, add "misc:levelfiles=whatever.lvz" to the .cfg file of your choice (server.cfg for public arenas - usually arenaname.cfg for subarenas [preferred arenamode=5 in your server.ini for that])
of course, add that by either "*getfile arenaname.cfg" then opening in notepade/wordpad/etc - adding - saving changes then "*putfile arenaname.cfg" or by setting in-game or get a sysop to do it if you can't
that's it - enter/re-enter the arena being tweaked and your image should be there

I thought you needed to prefix "c-" to center align an image, maybe it's different in the new .lvz script.
