Try to import it from "import" folder.

Is the map originally coloured? How do you load it in W:A? What file format are you using?

Yeah, it is
i've downloaded maps from www.blamethepixel.com
maps are *.bit

[Muzer]

Bit maps are not coloured

PNGS are.

Bit maps are not coloured

PNGS are.

PNG files are.

[Muzer]

Yeah, I was on my Wii, so it takes ages to type.

do you know how to convert BIT files in PNG files?

and do you know where i can find and download TestStuff for w:a?

[franpa]

when hosting a game type the command /TS or /TestStuff (case insensitive)

no, i doubt bit files can be changed to PNG files due to there nature. you could open them in W:A at a really high resolution and take a screen shot if it fills your screen lol.

BIT files can't directly be converted to PNG, but there's a better way to colour them and basically make them look pretty than that which Franpa suggested.

There's a third party utility called BIT Monkey that allows you to export BIT maps to the BMP format. Once you've done that, you open the file in Photoshop, edit it to your heart's content, then save it as a PNG file that abides the restrictions listed on the page linked to below and put it in your \User\SavedLevels\ folder.

ty for all... but i have 1 last question.. i can't play map i've created, because w:a tell me that it must be divisible 8x8... what does it mean??

[DaKing]

That the map's size must be a multiple of 8: Whenever you divide a map by 8, you should get an integral (did I write it right?) number.
For example, if you've made a 2000x700 (700:8=87.5) pixels map, you should increase the size to 2000x704 (704/8=88) so it would work.

[franpa]

make sure its height and width are each able to divide by 8.
