Good to hear Ralle!

 

[Archian]

yes great indeed

 

[Deckboy]

Phew, yay. . .thanks Ralle, as I'm sure you know that was one of my pet peeves.(sp?)

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Yeah!

But it doesn't get that lovely special preview pic on "When the Freedom Slips Away," though...

 

[Ralle]

what do you mean? doesnt it show the right pic?

 

[VictorOfSweden]

see bob (my idea for this site ) this is what i also would like us to use at wc3rc

Well, it shows war3mapMap.blp - the actual minimap. Shouldn't it show war3mapPreview.tga if one exists?

i agree, the map preview does look rather interesting.
though it's too bad that it's not every mapmaker that use'em.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

It's been almost proven that maps with fancy previews get more downloads. It's a matter of being eye-catching; a preview stands out a lot more than a simple minimap image.

 

[Bob27]

I know. Whenever I upload my maps it never shows the preivew, even if it has one. And yes I have no idea but the only map I have seen of mine that has the minimap preview working uses a blp one. So yea I think it is just the tga ones that arn't working.

 

[brad.dude03]

yeah, like ralle said up above there, it only extracts the .blp for the actual minimap, not for the game preview, or you'd be seeing the family guy logo instead of the minimap when you look at my maul thats on here. oh well, it'd be really nice if it extracted and used the .tga instead of the minimap, but you can't have it all.

 

[Ralle]

it works now with tgas... I noticed that it checked for war3mapmappreview and not war3mappreview and that was the problem

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Ah... Lovely! Good work!
