I'm trying to make an ingame trigger in the map editor that shows the player a certain image on their screen when they are inside of the trigger. I've seen that a track called "image" exists, but when I use it and try to change the image, all I'm presented with are 3 options for the image: "Default image", "BlackSquare" & "Vigenette". Can anyone help me out? I am not much of a builder and honestly learned about triggers not very long ago. Thanks!

put image of your choice in the directory \Documents\Trackmania\Media\Images (alternatively, \Documents\Trackmania2020\Media\Images). image should be in the .jpg or .dds format and it needs to have an additional locator file (image.jpg.loc) which directs the game to directly download it and display it

find a file sharing service of your choice, preferably dropbox (or if you can wait some time to get it approved, maniacdn)
upload the image you want to set in your map to the file sharing service and make it public
copy a direct download link to the file (in dropbox it would be something like https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/(bunch of gibberish)/image.jpg?dl=0&rlkey=(bunch of gibberish), where you also have to change the dl=0 in the link to dl=1)
paste the link into your browser, if it starts downloading the file instantly then it works
open notepad, paste the edited link to the image in there, call it image.jpg.loc and put it in the same folder as your image

like name the file image.jpg.loc and then put it in \Documents\Trackmania2020\Media\Images?
