Minimap preview screen?

[phoenixlord882]

I just wanted to know, I've tried to create a minimap preview screen for my WC3: Firefight - The Ice Gate but it keeps showing a white screen. How do you fix this error in WC3?

What I've done was resize the photo to 128x128, then add an "alpha channel" to my photo using GIMP.

Still... no other websites explain the way this is done. Can I please get assistance in fixing the white screen error?

edit: Nope, I've investigated, still not working.

Make sure you save it as TGA (Targa), Furthermore, you can check out my Tutorial about mini-map previews here

Can give you give a bit more explanation?

Did you save it as a 24 or a 32 tga-image?
How did you name it when you imported it in your map?

What does it mean by 24-bit or 32-bit tga-image?

Name: war3mapPreview.tga

I'm not quite sure, but I've had some problems with 24-bit and alpha channels in the past :/
In any case, can you attach the image, then I can test it myself (or edit the image, if necessary).

Yea, I'm not totally sure. This is my .jpg format of the same photo.

Let me know what you got.

It works perfectly for me :/

I opened the jpg-file, converted it to .tga (32-bit, not compressed), opened the world editor, imported the .tga-file and renamed it to "war3mapPreview.tga".

It seems like it's best to use 256x256, though ^^ (or increase the quality and the text size).
