Hello!
I have a Worms Armageddon map in front of me, with the resolution 1920x696 for example! The colours are great! But I'd like to resize the map, I want it to be a little bit bigger :)
Now how do I do that, fast and without colourloss PLEASE?
I tried to resize it with IrfanView for example, that works. Than I can save it as *.bmp and open it with Gimp. There I HAVE to select 112 colours (right?)?
But then the map looks bull****. The background looks cheap, with bad red colours or sth. like that and the whole quality is lost. It looks dry and bad :(
But there ARE big maps with good colours, so plz, how is it possible to resize the map fast without many losses?
Thank yo very much in advance :)

Try the "Nearest Neighbor" interpolation, for paletted images.
Then, fix the jagged edges yourself.

Most image editing programs can do this, even Microsoft Paint.
By the way, have you read this guide (http://worms2d.info/Colour_map) before you make the map?
