1) Convert the image to PNG format.
2) Use tiledmajick to make an LVZ with the background tiled.
3) Upload and change your levelfiles as detailed by Akai in your other post.

download lvztoolkit
extract contents
download tiledmajick
extract contents
run TiledMajick.exe
input width and height (in pixels) of your image
press the "DO IT" button
a file named "output.txt" will be generated
open output.txt in a text editor (notepad)
add the following ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE:
| Quote: | outfile=nameOfYourChoice.lvz
file=yourimagename.xxx
[objectimages]
image0=yourimagename.xxx
[mapobjects] |
replace "xxx" with the file extension of your image (can be .bmp, .gif, .jpg or .png)
save "output.txt" as "nameOfYourChoice.ini"
make sure your image and nameOfYourChoice.ini are in the SAME directory
run BuildLevel.exe (from lvztoolkit)
browse for file box will open - find and select nameOfYourChoice.ini
this should (if there are no errors) create a .lvz file in the same directory as the .ini and image - it will be named whatever you had specified in outfile= of the .ini file
place your .lvz file into your Continuum directory
go into your zone
type "*getfile server.cfg" (or any .cfg file of your choice)-(need sysop)
type "*putfile nameOfYourChoice.lvz"
open server.cfg (in your Continuum directory)
find and set (or add) "levelfiles=nameOfYourChoice.lvz" (separate multiple values with commas -> eg. "Levelfiles=ships.bm2,nameOfYourChoice.lvz")
save changes
type "*putfile server.cfg" in-game
that should do it - enter or re-enter the arena whose .cfg you've been messing with and you should download and see your background image |
