I need some help resizing the background for the menu of my FPS game.

I found it didn't look that good in the first place at 1024x768 and when I saw the 2048x2048 (or whatever it was) DarkAI demo load screen I was wondering if it is possible to resize a large image to fit the screen.

I'd just use my native 1680x1050 resolution but I'm planning on giving the game to some friends and I doubt they all have 22" monitors.

I haven't had much luck yet.

This is the code I currently use.

+ Code Snippet

 backdrop off
 Load Image "images\menu.jpg",1,1
 paste image 1,0,0

This is the code I tried to use but which doesn't do anything but display a black screen.

+ Code Snippet

load bitmap "images\menu.jpg",1
copy bitmap 1,0,0,bitmap width(1),bitmap height(1),0,0,0,screen width(),screen height()
delete bitmap 1 : get image 65432,0,0,1024,768

It actually looked better at 800x600 even though I could see even less on the screen.
