I need it to work btw, so if anyone makes it, I'd appreciate if you test it before you send it. Btw, I don't want links or sh!ts and guides on how to do it. I'm super busy enough with work to study any easy guide as it is, I just need someone to make it and I'm done with map.


So... yea, if anyone can make this, make it fast, I need map published in day or 2, cuz... yolo.

.jpg preview

Its nice but I wish it works. I don't know why it doesn't, but... well, it doesn't work.

I mean, this is the path, right: war3mapPreview.tga

Did it work for you, 'cuz here it definitly doesn't.

 

[andreariona]

Well it worked for me. You put the .tga one instead of the .jpg one, right? (the .jpg one were meant for preview purpose) I've attached both .jpg and .tga on post above.

And yeah, that's the right path.

I've recently tested it on dummy map and it worked as it did to yours. But, my map doesn't seem to respond.

From the very start I knew it was bugged, cause whenever I put the map inside "Maps --> Download" folder, it doesn't show up ingame. When I put it just in maps section, it appears. So, I think its bugged in a way and I dunno how to solve this. That might effect the map preview icon, I dunno 'tho.

EDIT: I remember in a topic, someone said that there is something wrong with pathway, meaning, its too long. I dunno what he meant by that, but its probably related to this issue.

if your map's name is too long(it was something like 100 characters), starting from Maps/ (so Maps/download/mysuperawesomemap.w3x will only count download/mysuperawesomemap.w3x) your map will not be showed in the list of the maps in wc3. Thats what I call, a professional programming

How do I fix it?

 

[Footman16]

Shorten your map name.

Shorten your map name.

Yea, i kinda figured it out myself, but HOW?

 

[Footman16]

If you have the map in the maps folder press enter with it selected, like you'd rename any file or folder on your computer.

I tought we were talking about pathway renaming thing, but even if I do, will the icon map preview work then?

 

[Footman16]

Well, you can't shorten the path but you can shorten the name so it'll fix the problem of it not appearing just read edo494's post.

I guess it did the trick, but the map preview icon still doesn't work. I really need it working.

Then there are something you need to make sure:

Go Scenario > Map Option > Make sure you had "Hide minimap on in preview screens" un-checklist-ed.

The option "Hide minimap in preview screens" was on. I shut it down and it works. Plus, map works inside any folder now.

Thanks for assistance everyone. Will give credit for it.
