How do I change the preview level picture?

As the title says, I made a map, but how do I take a preview picture for when selecting the level

 

Simple! Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\BeamNG-DRIVE-0.3\levels, then choose the folder of the level's preview you wish to edit/create, it will be called <levelname>_preview.png. Then, you can easily edit the preview with any way of your choice/add a new one.

In the case of taking a picture, you can use any screenshot capture program of your choice.

Hope that helped.

 

Thanks, I'm also having another problem if you can help. For some reason the .ter files and basetex's, are saving into my levels folder, however when i place them in the actual map folder I made and remove the ones that are sitting in my levels folder this error happens.

 

Oh my. Sorry, I can't help you with that, I really have minimal experience with Torgue 3D. You'll have to ask for someone else's help with that.

 

This one pretty easy as well, open your maps .MIS file find the following line and edit it to point at the folder your map is in .

new TerrainBlock(theTerrain) { terrainFile = "levels/Inlet_Island_0.ter";
castShadows = "1";
squareSize = "1";
baseTexSize = "1024";
lightMapSize = "256";
screenError = "16";
position = "0 0 0";
rotation = "1 0 0 0";
canSave = "1";
canSaveDynamicFields = "1"


edit the following section to change the name and description of the map

new LevelInfo(theLevelInfo) { nearClip = "0.1";
visibleDistance = "1000";
decalBias = "0.0015";
fogColor = "0.6 0.6 0.7 1";
fogDensity = "0";
fogDensityOffset = "700";
fogAtmosphereHeight = "0";
canvasClearColor = "0 0 0 255";
ambientLightBlendPhase = "1";
ambientLightBlendCurve = "0 0 -1 -1";
advancedLightmapSupport = "0";
soundAmbience = "AudioAmbienceDefault";
soundDistanceModel = "Linear";
canSave = "1";
canSaveDynamicFields = "1";
desc0 = "A blank room ready to be populated with Torque objects.\n\nGuns, anyone?";
enabled = "1";
levelName = "Blank Room";
