Mini Map Picture

[Titleist]

Hey guys I haven't been on in awhile. I have been making a lot of maps and have learned a lot since I have been gone, but I found something I need help with. My friend wants a mini map picture for his map. He has the picture and the map ready and I could send them to anyone who knows how to place it in a matter of minutes. If anyone here can help me please send me an e-mail at [email protected] or reply to this post. I imported the picture to the map, but I have no idea how to make it the mini map picture. If it is easy to do then just explain in a reply post, but if it is not please ask to see the map and i will send it to you.
Thanks guys!

Here see if this helps :

Make sure your image file is a file with dimensions of 128x128 or 256x256 pixels. Import your image file into your map, and change its path in the Import Manager to be war3mapPreview.tga, with no directory.

NOTE: the file needs to be TGA from beginning


You could misunderstand it to change a jpeg to tga when importing without actually change the file to a tga. so it would be a jpeg hidden as TGA

In-Game Minimap

Map preview images are no problem for me, but how about in-game minimap images? I've seen them in a couple of maps and i want to know how to do it. I guess it's pretty similar to preview's, but with a different file name. Am I right?

you are right. The file is a mix of the preview image and the spot of the gold mines and neutral units.
When I changed my ingame minimap I used the World Editor Unlimited

When opening it you get some kind of menu before opening the world editor, press a button like edit map.

EDIT: I was wrong. just make a tga image 256x256 in size and call it war3mapMap.tga then it will replace the current game preview image

Ok... I'll try and see if it works.
