Saving Maps in .bmp error

[DrUgZ]

Hey guyz... little help here plz. Never done maps info before so a little new to me.

I am trying to make minimaps for maps I have. I am using MapEdit1 and can open the maps fine. I save em to my desktop as a .bmp fine. But when I try to open it in Paint to resize it I keep getting this error:

Ant4.bmp
Paint cannot read this file.
This is not a valid bitmap file or its format is not currently supported.


Help would be great thanks.

Never happens to me no matter how i save the image. Only thing i can suggest is when saving it don't save it as "Filename.bmp" just save it as "Filename".

When you are saving the file you have selected all files? If not and say its set to save as a text document (example) and you name it filename.bmp it will become filename.bmp.txt.

Damn still aint working.... Mobs, items etc aint a prob but never done maps before :/ I should just bring back Insane server lol... much easier to do than 2.3 (if you dont know how that is).

OK, I have opened various maps with MapEditor 1.1 and no matter how I save em --- as All Files as Map as bmp they save to my desktop ok but I just cant open em in paint!! Keep getting that same error. Daz.. get on MSN if you know how to do this m8

Also the actual image for the maps I save seem to be different than ones I CAN open in Paint which were already saved as .bmp when I DL files.

Help plz

and yer I am gonna make a new server m8... maybe Insane 2.3??
