Hide Minimap? o.O

[Ham Ham]

I have played a map once time then the minimap is a custom image.
How is it possible?

Import a 128x128 BLP file and call it

war3mapMap.blp

Dont worked, my map crashed when finished the loading.

Has to be 24-bit (no alpha), far as I know

Or wait, try 256x256 as well.

But the path itself works, cause that's what warcraft does if you don't import a custom minimap image X_x

World Editor FAQ - Work in Progress provides detailed information about custom minimap images.

Custom Minimap Preview

Custom minimap previews for custom scenarios is a big fashion. Some people might actually leave the game you've hosted because they think that the map sucks when it doesn't have a minimap preview. So here's a guide on how to make your own. Open your favorite image editor and make yourself a good picture. You have to keep in mind that the image should have the dimensions of either 256x256 or 128x128. Save it as .jpg or .tga if you can. If not, go get the tool Warcraft 3 Image Extractor II, open up your image and save it as .blp or .tga. Open up World Editor and then open the Import Manager and import the image. Double-Click on the image and tick "Use Custom Path" and set the path to: war3mapPreview.tga or war3mapPreview.blp to have the image being the minimap preview. You can also save it as war3mapMap.tga or war3mapMap.blp to make it being the in-game minimap.

WEU can help with custom mini maps and load screens, just fire up the WE enhancer, load your map, go to the third tab and you can do it all then.

I wouldn't recommend WEU to anyone when it can be done with WE regular.
