sonicrazy Statusless Send PM Posts: Threads: Money: £0.00 (D) (+ Friend)	Hello. Today, I encountered a strange error with Worms Armageddon. I had made a color map for that game, but when I tried to open it in the editor, it said "Error opening map file" and left it at that. I'm unsure why this happened. The map is the right dimensions, and it is in PNG format. Can anyone help me? Hello. Today, I encountered a strange error with Worms Armageddon.

But, you can do this: Resave the map as a JPEG. Place it in the W:A Import folder. Select it by clicking the disk in the terrain editor. Enter a name for it in the drop down box, and click save. That should automagically save the map as a PNG in the W:A SavedLevels folder, and it will work.

You're going to lose colors anyway, since it's going to drop from whatever it was to 64 or 96 colors. Which JPEG can more than handle. Really though, I just mentioned it because it's the first thing that came to my mind. [quote=ReadMe] altho i would use BMP and not JPEG to import to avoid loss of colour.

(heads off to the upload page) Hi! I'm experienceing the same problem (also with Paint), but nothing works. I've alreday tried JPGing or BITting the file, but strangely my WA can't even access to the Imported Files-Folder, not even the 3 maps that came with the installation aren't available in game. Is that maybe a bug caused by the beta-patch (3.6.31.0)? Might a reinstallation of WA be helpful (though I'm looking for a smarter solution...)?

If you use BMP and the disk import button, I think WA probably still restricts the map size to 1920 x 696. To make bigger maps, you've gotta use PNG and put them in the SavedLevels folder.

But since I've used many real pictures in my map, there's a big loss of quality when seeing the map in WA. If saving the map as a png with a different program, would I be able to use it deirectly as a PNG without having to convert the format twice? I've done as described, first BIT/JPG, then imported.

Yes. There's a higher colour limit on PNGs for WA, it's 113 colours, so it'd be better quality. Better programs let you choose how many colours to save in the map, and if you don't use too many, then WA won't have to downgrade the quality any more.
