* The Map Pictures are what shows at the bottom-center of the Browse
Tab, under the Current Map: name, when you refresh a server.

* This help file is to explain how you can add your own map pictures
to Multi Browser.

* When Multi Browser was only working with a few games it didn't
care what game you were refreshing, in reguards to the map picture,
it would just call up a map picture based on the map name. It still
works that way for those initial games. After adding a few more games
it was discovered that there are different games with maps named the
same. This would cause Multi Browser to call up a map picture that
didn't accurately depict the map baing played, so prefixes were added
to the map names. For example, Unreal Tournament maps must be prefixed
with ut_ and Call of Duty maps must be prefixed with cod_.

* Here is a listing of the games and how the map pic names are
formatted:

** Battlefield 1942: bf_<mapname>.jpg
** Call of Duty: cod_<mapname>.jpg
** Half Life: <mapname>.jpg
** Jedi Knight II: <mapname>.jpg
** Jedi Knight Jedi Academy: jkja_<mapname>.jpg
** Medal of Honor Allied Assault: <mapname>.jpg
** Quake 2: quake2_<mapname>.jpg
** Quake III Arena: <mapname>.jpg
** QuakeWorld: quakeworkd_<mapname>.jpg
** Return to Castle Wolfenstein: <mapname>.jpg
** Soldier of Furtune II: <mapname>.jpg
** Unreal Tournament: ut_<mapname>.jpg
** Unreal Tournament 2003: ut2_<mapname>.jpg
** Unreal Tournament 2004: ut2004_<mapname>.jpg
** Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory: <mapname>.jpg
** Doom 3: doom3_<mapname>.jpg

* The mapname is what is used by the game to identify the map, not the
full name the author gave the map. If you don't know what map name to
use refresh a server running that map and the name will be displayed
above the map picture space right after 'Current Map:'. Then prerix
the map name in the picture's name if the list above shows that a
prefix is required, otherwise just name the picture the same as the
map name.

* All the map pictures are locaed in the 'mappics' folder in the multi
folder (multibrowser folder for mpp users). Do not put the map pictures
in the pics folder, they will not be found by Multi Browser.

* The map pictures will be resized when displayed in Multi Browser so
you don't have to resize them to the shown size, but things will run a
slight bit faster if you size them correctly.

* The optimal size for the pictures is 130X97 pixels. If you resize
the picture make it that size and format it as a jpeg.

* Multi Browser has the option to automatically download any map
picture it doesn't have, but the website does not have every map
picture for every game supported. If you have map pictires that Multi
Browser does not download, send them in so they can be added to the
downloadable collection for everyone to enjoy. Include the name of the
map and the game it is for for submitted pictures. Use the 'Email'
button at the bottom of this tab to submitt.
