Those nifty animated screen shots on the left side

[Dragonhill]

Hola all,

this may sound like a dumb question, but how do you get the pictures to flip on the left side of this web site (the ones showing the maps playing on EGO servers)

figured Blackmesa could use some when it's running. I hate seeing the no image sign.

It looks to be a simple 160x120 GIF.

I guess what i need to know then is how big can it be (file size, not dimensions) and what naming format should i use?

ie

160X120 gif
500k max size
cp_blackmesa.gif

that sound about right?. I just need to brush off my .gif mad skill and use some screen shot i have made

~D

Maybe I'm missing something here, but what are you going to do with this gif after you've made it?

I think DragonHill is going to make one for there.

We run blackmesa for him occasionally, he probably wants something other than 'no image' to show up.


As for file size, the images for Dustbowl, 2Fort, and Gravel are all .25KB- so that's a good guess at size.

And I would assume that there is a config file where the image use for each map can be defined.

But ask Garden to find out the details for sure.
