put its name in the SL Pic box in the objectives window, and then save the image in the scenario file as a .tga (truevision targa) file, psp7 edits tgas...

Some other Photo Editing Software can too. I used Arcsoft PhotoStudio, and I also used Adobe Photo Editing, and it worked fine.

What I mean is that it's meant to be a smaller version of this...

Image isn't helping: removed

...But shows up as the first image that I posted.

Dunno, just something that showed up correctly when it was added. I suppose it could be blank.

Oh, sorry. instead of a screenshot the image has what looks like very large text displayed backwards over the bottom half of it.

The *.tga picture get in the folder AoM/textures and the optimal size is 256x128 Pixel
If You work with AoMED, than make a *ddt file
