[Solved] Custom minimap unit dot?

[stan0033]

I wanna know how to change the appearance of the mimap display of heroes to something else, like in DotA?

Go to Advanced -> Game Interface, check "Use Custom Game Interface", and then modify the field: "Icon - Minimap Hero". The file at UI\Minimap\minimap-hero.blp is the default BLP for it (32x32).

Thanks

the default BLP for it (32x32).

What if I tried to make it bigger then 32x32? Would it just appear black? And is there anyway around this?

Just try it?

I did it was completely black. I tried both tga and blp.
What I'm trying to do is use multiple minimaps. I have a game where you select an arena then play on it. I set the camera bounds to the arena, but the problem I'm having is the minimap is still the entire map. And so it looks sloppy.

So my idea was to make a minimap icon a minimap picture. Then I put lets say a goldmine in the middle of the arena and changes the minimap to the picture of the current arena.

Is there other ways to go about this?

Try this map?

Not quite. That map has 2 different arenas, but the terrain is the same. So he doesn't have to change the minimap since both the arenas have the same terrain. The only thing he has to change is the creep icons which should be automatic when you change arenas.
