How to make DDS CoD Map Level Shots Tutorial
Thanks to Shoot for the work put into this tutorial.
When a map loads in a server there is generally a nice nifty picture that depicts what the map is......
Also when in your in the Start New Server menu - you will see the picture when you scroll through the map list - hopefully you have done everything from the arena file tutorial - well now its time to finish the deal and get the level shots to show.
The stock Call of Duty levelshots are in the levelshots folder, they are 1024x1024 DDS Files.
In order to do this you need to have the DDS plugin and associated dll files loaded.
DDS Plugin Installation
--------------------------------
Here are the links for the required plugin and dll file as well as a DDS thumbnail viewer which will show the DDS files in windows explorer
If you want more detailed information then I suggest you go to the following site. This is where I got the files from for this but there is much much more info there. Nvida DDS Tools and Info
In order to see the DDS images you need the following:
dds.8bi (Photoshop/Paintshop Pro plugin)
msvcr71.dll
** Adobe Photoshop
** Paint Shop Pro
I have tested these using Windows XP Pro, Adobe Photoshop 6.0, and Paint Shop Pro 5,7, and 8.
DDS Levelshot Creation
-------------------------------
Now you have your Screenshot in the correct format, but where does it go.
Create a levelshots folder in the main folder - main/levelshots
It is important to keep this path when creating pk3 files for distribution.
When your map loads it will have your screenshot as the loading screen if you have done this correctly and if you have the arena file correct the same image will show in the start a new server list also.
Have at it.
I have created a pk3 with a working map, levelshot and arena file so you can tear it apart.
