Create a World Thumbnail. All I Need is a Link.
« on: September 25, 2011, 10:05:17 AM »
Well, I'm creating a world, and I have it created and everything. I downloaded the default thumbnail off the internet, and it fits the requirements. I have it in the thumbnail spot, but the game doesn't recognize it! Only half of it is in the spot (Which I thought was weird, but not the cause) with a black space underneath it.

Please, please help, because this is for a school project video and I need it done by tonight.

Thanks to everyone in advance.

I assume you need a picture to export world - only thumbnail needed for CAW that I know. If so, are you shore it meets the requirement (256x256 size, 24 bit, .png format photo)? I use SnagIt program for fast capture and edit, and in that application I have the option to resize and save photo with all the requirements I need.
I attached one of the photos I currently have saved and that worked for me.
If you need something else, let me know. And what a great school you go to :D!

Yes. The game has no problems uploading it, as it's the default, but it doesn't see that it's there. I will try that program in a second. Oh, and my school is awesome. I suppose it's okay... I was told I could do a video! ;D

Okay, does anyone have a picture I can use that fits the requirements? Because this is getting really tedious, and I have tried at least three different programs to try to get it. It could be a puppy for all I care, because this isn't going on the exchange or the swap shop or anything. I'm sorry if I sound grouchy, but I am getting extremely tired of this.
