Black wall

[crimson fire]

Greetings.
Ive been working on a map and now for some reason when i decided to test everything, ingame the mini map shows up all black, like theres no map just black and i didnt or at least dont remember putting it that way.
How can i fix this?
thanks.

Go to Scenario -> Map Options and tick the option "Masked areas are partially visible".

Nope it didnt work. It was already ticked so i unticked it and tryed it, still black, then i ticked it and tryed it again was also black =/ i dont know what happened i never did anything for it to show black in the minimap
and its the minimap (bottom left) that shows black not the intire map thats been unexplored

Are you sure you have nothing imported that overwrites the default minimap?

 

[crimson fire]

yup. i got lots of imported things but the thing that might alter it (which i think it doesnt cuz i had it for some time now and the map problem was recent) is the loading screen. think its that?

No, loading screen is different from minimap. I am not sure, maybe send me the map to test it out. The changes are performed only in-game, so you might have made some modifications.

sure i can send you it but its still quite big in file size cuz i havent reduced it yet. i have the normal version and alternative (less units no heros, so its a bit smaller) both with the same problem. ill pm u a link when i paste it.

See your imported Interface has no alpha channel on the minimap. It's totally black. Visit this thread to modify it:

(Export the file "UI\Console\Human\HumanUI01.blp" and open it via Warcraft III Viewer; convert into TGA and then open Photoshop or something to edit the alpha layer)
