Hey,
I'm kinda new to WE, that's why I decided to ask you for help.

Do you know how can I turn my minimap off?
I mean that: People who are playing, don't see the whole area on the minimap.

I tried to find the answer myself, but I couldn't...
Thanks for any advice!

You can ''shrink'' minimap on certain area using trigger.

  • Camera - Set the camera bounds for Player <X (Color)> to <Your Region>
If you want to disable it, use this trigger.

  • Melee Initialization
    • Events
      • Map initialization
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Game - Hide creep camps on the minimap
      • Game - Disable ally color button and Disable creep camp button

I did the same way you said, but when I start the game it crashes...
And yup, I set the patch to war3mapMap.tga and I also tried with .blp, but both cause crash ;(

Anyway, thanks for advice ;)

Well,
war3mapPreview.tga is what you see in lobby, and it doesn't change the in-game minimap picture...
And, when I'm using war3mapMap.tga it still causes crash.

Edit:

WEU? Please, no. WEU adds no functionality and introduces tons of bugs.

Just change the neutral building icon to something like ".blp" and it'll kill your minimap.

Thanks everyone for reply :)
Few of these ideas works, but the one with WEU crashed my map, and I had to recover it later on, but it works perfect now.
Thanks again!

Yours
