As the title asks. Is there anyone to attach one image to a map somehow, so it can display in game as a thumbnail in the solo play/ and or online lobby?
Level Design Custom map in-game thumbnail/picture?
- Thread starter Jarhead95
- Start date
I would like to know this as well, theres no longer an option in the World Info to attach map preview images, so where/how is this done on the new editor?

I've gotten it to work for local solo play by importing a screenshot as a texture in your map's package, placing the texture on a new material also in your map package and slapping it down somewhere out of the way on the map (otherwise the texture won't save with the map -.-) and then editing KFGame.ini adding:
[KF-MapName KFMapSummary]
MapName=KF-MapName
ScreenshotPathName=TextureName
But this method does NOT work for servers ;(
[KF-MapName KFMapSummary]
MapName=KF-MapName

Not very useful then, what am I going to do with a map thumbnail if Im the only one able to see it
Would be nice to get a TWI comment on this if nobody else has any clue. Anyone seen custom maps with custom thumbnails?

If they would at least let us know if this is in fact a missing feature at the moment, I dont want to go releasing new versions of my upcoming maps just for one image :/

They did the same thing with RO2/RS. There is no way around it at the moment. Unless someone wants to make a mutator.

Don't get your hopes up, I hate to say this but if the problem existed in RO2 then the likely-ness of it being fixed/changed in KF2 is pretty much 0%. Tripwire really don't care about custom content and seemingly try their best to break/prevent it
