_pathtoimage="<path to image>"
_temp=assert(io.open(_pathtoimage,"rb"))
_txt=_temp:read("*a")
_temp:close()
_temp=io.open(_pathtoimage..".txt","w")
for w in _txt:gmatch(".") do
local b=w:byte()
if (b>=32 and b<=47) or (b>=58 and b<=126) then
local t=w:gsub("\"","\\\"")
_temp:write(t)
else
_temp:write("\\"..b)
end
end
_temp:close()
6. Go to folder where the image file are located and open <imagename>.<ext>.txt with text editor(filename can be different)
7. Copy all text inside that file
8. Go to maps folder and open your map with a Notepad++ or HexEdit(DON'T USE MICROSOFT NOTEPAD. IT WOULD JUST NOT WORK)
9. Find a text called "ImageInMap" in a map that you open
10. Replace "Here" text(should located near "ImageInMap" text) with this code:
1
(function() local temp=io.open("<pathtoimage>","r") if temp==nil then temp=io.open("<pathtoimage>","wb") temp:write("<Text that you copy from the text file>") temp:close() end return false)()
11. Save and try to delete the image file(copy first in case of Errors)
12. Start a new game with the map that has that script(step 1)
13. If it works. it would throw some error on console(NOT LUA ERRORS)
NOTE: if you gonna render the image with
image then skip step 1414. Just re-start your server(use
changemap) and the image will showed. Example Map 
ImageInMap: It uses worklight.bmp at gfx/sprites and display it with image | By 
MikuAuahDarkTo add the example map just give me the map link, map name, and some information(e.x.: what image is used) on comments
