save this file as nameOfYourChoice.ini (after you replace x)
x = half the width of your image in pixels (eg. if your image is 300 pixels wide, x = 150 and you would type in "c-150")
nameOfYourChoice = any name you like
nameOfYourImage = the name of your image
zone, which makes the image appear only in public arenas directly after a player enters the ZONE, can be exchanged for arena, which makes the image appear in any arena directly after a player enters the ARENA
so now you have a .ini file and an image
make sure the file extension of your jpeg is ".jpg"
make sure your .jpg image and your .ini file are in the SAME directory (folder)
now run BuildLevel.exe (came in lvztoolkit) - a browse-for-file box will open, find and select your .ini file
this should create a .lvz file in the same directory as your .ini and .jpg files (if there are no errors)
now place your new .lvz file into your main Continuum directory (eg. C:\Program Files\Continuum)
go into your zone (the one you have sysop powers in)
type "*getfile server.cfg" (it will download to your main Continuum directory)
(server.cfg = public arena settings file >> if you want to use this .lvz-included image in another arena, get the settings file for THAT arena [eg. ?go duel would typically use "duel.cfg", though it may use "server.cfg" or "spawn.cfg" - I recommend ArenaMode=5 in the [Custom] section of your server.ini)
open server.cfg (or whatever .cfg file you're fiddling with) in a text editor (notepad,wordpad,textpad,etc)
find and alter (or ADD) the setting "levelfiles=nameOfYourChoice.lvz" in the [misc] section of the .cfg file
save changes
go into your zone (the one you have sysop powers in)
type "*putfile nameOfYourChoice.lvz"
type "*putfile server.cfg" (or whatever .cfg file)
now enter (or re-enter) your zone (or arena) and you should download and see your image

Speaking of which, I got an image that I need the coding for it to go down the screen slowly as it swivvles side to side. I attached the image and I was just wondering if someone would have the time to do the coding for me. Thanks.

you'd have to have a bot or module spamming objset or objon/off commands constantly to "code" that
you'll probably have to tweak the image and then just have it cover the entire screen

Just go to 'xmas' in TW and use their snowflakes. Next time don't distribute image files in .bmp format (unless you convert it to 1bpp/monochrome).

i think its about time some one made a really detailed guide for lvz creation. People keep asking questions that are so much the same.

if I get bored enough I'll try and type up a full version to replace Mine's old Buildlevel/Makelevel FAQ info...and maybe a How To...probably just one or the other, though

You said the 'levelfiles=' in [misc] in the .cfg file right? Well I did a Edit/Find and did a search for 'levelfiles=' but its no where in sight... Is it under a different name?
