Regarding Tauren's post:

If it's number 1, then you are referring to a custom minimap preview. A tutorial can be found here: Custom Minimaps
If it's number 2, then you're referring to the screen you see when loading a game. A tutorial can be found here: Custom Loading Screens
If it's number 3, then you are referring to the map image you see during a game. To change this, you must first have an image that 256 pixels by 256 pixels and is in .TGA (TarGA) format. Then import it into your map and change the path to: war3mapMap.tga

I hope this helps.

i don't think it's that easy. if i remember correctly, the file is actually war3mapMap.blp and it's blp-format is somehow different than the usual icons/skins blp files... somebody please correct me if i'm wrong (test your answer first).

btw, he clearly wasn't asking about number 3;

If he wasn't asking for number 3, then my apologies, however the file cannot be a .BLP as World Editor Unlimited specifies. If it's in BLP on the minimap image then your custom image will appear but there will be start location dots all over it.
