Minimap Image at map Select screen

[JedimasterYoda]

I just wonder how to change the Minimap Image you see(Not ingame) when you are selecting what map to play ingame.

For example: Who Is The Alien; It got that Alien image when you mark the map(Before you click load)

Not easy to explain, but I hope you understand

Import a 128x128 or 256x256 .tga file using the import manager. Next, check the box saying use custom path, and change it to "war3mapPreview.tga"
without the quotes. Great Tutorial here: http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/minimap.php

Won't .blp work?

No, not .blp! You need a 256x256 .tga file and change path to war3mapPreview.tga as hvo-busterkomo said. Please try searching first before posting. I am sure there are about 60 threads about this thing!

I have tried searching, but I can't open 100 threads looking for it if they don't got an explanation in the title

Anyway - Thanks for helping.

Yes, but next time if you have such simple problems, try searching the solved problems area. It has something for you, I am sure! Cya!

Ok .blp and .tga are 100% exchangeable. Even if you rename a tga to .blp wc3 will know that its dealing with a tga and read it like so!
