Well What I want to do is create an extravigent map that is just basically my logo for the game that comes up when you log in....
but I dont' wanna spend a crap load of time cutting the image up and having to set each 32x32 image as a turf...

so is there a quicker way of doing this? I read somewhere that you could but when I tried what it said to do it wouldn't exactly work... possibly could someone point me in the right direction?

You can split up .bmp and .png files by using the icon editor's import option.

Sure save it as a BMP or PNG
then when calling it from BYOND do it like so..

icon = 'mytitle.bmp'

or

icon = 'mytitle.png'

This will give you a title. I never cut up anymore. And if you use the same transparent color grey as Dream Maker uses for your BMPs you can have transparency in your BMPs as well.

In response to LordJR
Even better than worrying about setting gray with a bmp, just use a png and set the transparent color to whatever you want. AND the .png is usually significantly smaller!
