Finding "PathTextures\4x4SimpleSolid.tga"

[Frostbarge]

About a month ago, I asked this question :
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...ake-icons-minimap-smaller-236624/#post2364381
(more specifically, the building icons)

The thread is tagged [Solved] because in the end there were no solutions so I just ended up hiding the building icon from the minimap(turning the buildings into units to have a smaller icon destroyed their proper functionality).

However the last reply to the thread which I did not see until today :

Isn't the minimap icon size tied to the pathing map size?

It made me curious and check the Pathing Map options for the buildings.

Then I saw this :

"PathTextures\4x4SimpleSolid.tga"

A 4x4 Solid, sounds exactly like the building icon. Now all I need to do is use a customized smaller version. A smaller icon, the answer to the problem.

But I have a final obstacle ahead ; I can't find the image file anywhere.

Using WC3 Viewer, I loaded up War3.mpq and War3x.mpq, and I couldn't find "PathTextures", or "4x4SimpleSolid.tga".

Where is it?

it's in war3.mpq
You won't find it via WC3 viewer, since it shows files of either .mdx or .blp type... what you search for is .tga file
Use War3 model editor or mpq master to see .tga files inside those .mpqs
