I think it's the minimap preview used in the map isn't it?

So you could change the minimap preview?!

 

[xDeathKnightx]

I mean when i post it on the hiveworkshop
or is it still i have to change the minimap?

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Yeah that's what i tried to say XD

I think the hive uses the minimap preview

 

[xDeathKnightx]

minimap preview: make an image with 128 x 128 and name it 'war3mapPreview.blp' without ''. import it and remove the war3imported\
minimap: the same, but change the name to war3mapMap.blp

But know that that will permanently change your minimap ingame.
I personal don't like that, except in a cinematic.

In short games, I think it's okay, but in RPG's or sth like that, where you need it, it's bad.

Yeah i would only use it in Cinematics Anyway

In cinematics, you don't have to change the ingame minimap, you won't see it anyway. Just change the minimap preview.

war3mapMap.blp is the minimap ingame and outgame.
war3mapPreview.blp is something else (not ingame minimap).

war3mapMap.blp is the ingame minimap. The war3mapPreview.blp, is the image, when you are in the lobby (or hiveworkshop)

the map preview is .TGA and is imported as .tga in the map in order to appear, it is not .blp ..

I'm shure that it works with .blp and maybe it works with .tga too, but I don't know.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Well, I'm sure that it works with tga, cause all my maps are with tga.

yeah I think it works with both, because my map, has a minimapPreview.blp and a minimapMap.blp, and it works.
