[Solved] Black ingame minimap (or any image)

[Bigabig]

Hey,

Basically i want to completely disable the minimap of my map. I searched through the internet and found many many tutorials that always list the same steps:

1. create a black .tga image
2. import it into your map with the asset manager
3. change imported file name to war3mapMap.tga

Well it does not work for me.

Since i want to completely disable the minimap i would also like to hide all units on the minimap. I am not sure if a black image would also achieve this.

Do you have any other ideas?

To hide units, make sure the 'Stats - Hide Minimap Display' is set to True in the object editor.

Is it possible to change minimap in game?

To hide units see what Drake said.

Since the ping model is always on top of the mini-map, you can import a custom ping model that will cover the mini-map and all its components.

Then trigger the ping periodically and remove the ping notification sound.

The method is described here.

hm this does not seem to work... is there any other way to hide the minimap icons of units / buildings / shops?

Well actually it does not work, just tried it with my pc and notebook (1vs1). On my pc the minimap stays black, on my notebook the minimap is still normal. After testing some other maps with my pc i just found out that I fucked up my minimap as it is now black in every game lol...

Not sure if you're using patch 1.31+ but you can hide the minimap completely like so:

local framehandle frame = BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_MINIMAP, 0)
BlzFrameClearAllPoints(frame)
BlzFrameSetPoint(frame, FRAMEPOINT_BOTTOMLEFT, Default.gameUI, FRAMEPOINT_BOTTOMLEFT, 0.0200, 0.009)
BlzFrameSetSize(frame, 0.10, 0.09)

I don't think those values are correct as I copied them from someone else's post but you can mess around with them. I assume setting the size to something like 0.01 and moving the frames offscreen would do the trick.
