Completely disable minimap....How? Oo

[claptomanic]

hey all...

the title should say everything. how to disable the minimap completely. means no dot for the hero, no house icons for shops and portals, no square for the currently viewed area, no displaying of the map at all (minimap should be and stay completely black), and so on. the minimap should just be black (or maybe later on a small image....if someone knows how to do that you could tell me how to do that too^^).


is it possible? and if so...how?


thanks in advance

Replace the gold mine icon with a HUEG black image, and place a single gold mine somewhere on the map.

Other method:
- import a 256x256 black texture to war3mapMap.tga
- manually remove every unit and object's "display on minimap" flag

I've made a map in which I succesfully made what you say.
I don't why, but it works for me. So I suppose it should work for you as well.

Go to Advanced -> Game Interface. There, search for the "Minimap Resource Texture" field. In its path, write whatever you want, I wrote "InvalidIcon.blp". I think it works no matter what you write, with the condition that the thing you write doesn't exist.

I don't know if it'll work for you, but I think you should try it. As I said, it's done in my map, and the minimap is a black square.
