Raw Blame History

Ad Banners

  • The only graphic formats that Blizzard clients support are

    • PCX
    • SMK
    • MNG

  • These are old and therefore uncommon formats that require specific software to create and modify. PCX allows still images while SMK and MNG formats allow animated images.

  • The dimensions for ad banners are 468 x 60 pixels

  • It is not known how to create PCX files that will display properly in PvPGN

  • Only WarCraft III supports the MNG format

  1. Download the Old Smacker Tools(this only works on Windows XP)
  2. Run smackerw.exe and then click on the Smack (compress) a graphics file.
