Hi,

JPG is ok but the picture must be in your mission directory if you just give the file name. And dont forget the extension: picture.jpg

Cheers

In that case you should add the subfolder in the picture name: img\picturename.jpg.

Now it will work.

Cheers

Yea, that's the reason it's telling you not found. However, if you don't get an error and just can see the image or its all black, it's because it has to be squared off, e.g. 256*256 or 512*512.
You can use Photoshop or GIMP (free) to resize or crop it.

No.

Arma does only consider your actual mission directory as the root.

So img\picturename.jpg is all you have to type in the insert picture dialog.
