Ok the minimap image has to be either 128x128 or 256x256 (if 256x256 doesnt work then try 128x128) it has to be a .tga and when you import it the path should be war3mapPreview.tga.

tga

Download irfvanView. It's in the tools section, after opening your image with it select save as and save it as a TGA.

then after u import it how do u open it in WE

 

[savage25]

open

You don't have to open it, as long as the path is war3mapPreview.tga it will be your minimap image. To test this look at your minimap icon in warcraft.

Why didn't it help? He told him to visit the tutorial section, and that's what everyone should do first :roll:
