Making a Custom Mini-Map Image
This tutorial will teach you how to make a custom Mini-Map Image for whatever map you like.
Needed Tools

-Any program that lets u save images as TGA's (Paintshop, Printshop, etc.)
-Warcraft III, the Frozen Throne
The Image
Make a image of whatever you like and make it 128 pixels by 128 pixels, MAKE SURE YOU SAVE IT AS A TGA FILE! For the purpose of this tutorial, I am using an image of the Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne logo, as seen below.
Importing the Image
In the World Editor, open the Import Manager and click on File, Import and open the TGA file that you have created. The custom path must be changed however, so double click on the image you imported and check the box "Use Custom Path".
Change the path to "war3mapPreview.tga" with nothing before it and proper case. Make sure its exact.
Thats it! Its that easy! This is what mine looked like when i was done:
