Minimap Prewiew Image

[cazador]

(Sorry if my english isn't the best)

Hi, I'm having problems to put an image in the minimap preview, when players are coming..., I read a lot of tutorials and I searched in the forums but I can't find the solution.

(I have TFT)

I repited the entire process some times.

This are the steps I followed:

Put the image to 128x128 or 256x256 (I tried with the two)

Convert it to .tga

Import it to my map

Change his path to "war3mapPreview.tga"

But when I got to Wc3 (tft) the image continues to be the real minimap.

Don't say to use the WEU, I'm use only WE.

All info about image:

Format = .tga (Truevision Targa)
Image size = 256x256 x24BPP
Memory size = 192 KB

Final Image:

You made it all okay. Try recreating the image and then the process all again.

I did this a lot of times from start but it the image that appears is the real minimap!!!

Then you must be doing something wrong. Did you maybe tick the option - hide minimap in prewiev screens?

 

[cazador]

No, I didn't tick that option, (if I tick it the image changes to a "?"), but what appears to me it's the minimap image.

"War3mapPreview" is ofr the preview screen.

"War3mapMap" is for the minimap.

 

[cazador]

"War3mapPreview" is ofr the preview screen.

"War3mapMap" is for the minimap.

Lol... ._. . . . . . I akready know it, that isn't my problem, what I want is the preview screen, and I already set war3mapPreview

Try saving the tga at 32 pixels.
Remove the original file first, after that save, close the map.
Open the map again, import the 32 pixels tga file and rename, save and test again.

That SHOULD work.

Either your tga is corrupted or you made a wrong setting.

Ok... ehmmm lol... with 32x32 WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!, but quality is SHIT!! -.-

Can anybody tell me why only works at 32 pixels...

EDIT:

Lol... know that the 32x32 worked I tried again with 256x256 and it works... I was be doing anything bad ? ... I don't know but THANKS

Lol, I ment to save the quality in 32 bits / pixel .
Ah well, glad that you solved it.

I think that your first tga was corrupted and wrongly saved by the program itself.
