Covering the in-game mini-map

[Raven0]

Is there a way to disable the in-game mini-map?

Or better yet, cover it up with a 2-d image (maybe using a fade filter?)

sureIn Game Interface, change Icon - Minimap Resource to a "custom" invalid icon... call it InvalidIcon.blp, any name will work, as long as it does not exist. You do not need to import anything for this to work.

Note: this will create an entirely black minimap (nothing shows).

or just import a targa file, and set the custom path to "war3mapMap.tga"

I couldn't get the image one to work b/c the image always got stretched in some weird way in-game and it also still showed the units and structures on the map.

However the first suggestion worked perfectly so i'll just go with that, thanks

The picture has to be 128*128.

That's kind of the point of doing it that way. As was noted in Water War. Which I think is pretty much unique even to this day.

Anyway, the block it out completely, you gotta make it black. Otherwise, if you just want a cool image, it's gonna still show you things.
