Minimap Removing leads to crash...

[w3.player]

Alright, so, the title should explain it but the point is as follows:

I've used the basic tricks explained in this tutorial ( http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/graveyard-209/importing-minimap-image-5922/ ) as well as many other threads around here. The mini-map preview works just fine, but when i try to change an imported file's path to 'war3mapMap.tga', my map will crash upon loading.

It's quite weird since i've tested with multiple images, both tga and blp... and it's clearly coming from this, as i've tried numerous times to add + test then remove + test to see where's the problem. My map clearly doesn't agree to have it's in-game minimap changed, but i don't get why.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

It is "war3mapMap.blp", not ".tga" which represents an entirely different format. The image has to be a .blp with the right dimensions to work.

Well, i tried both with .tga and .blp ... But i only tried with the 128x128 size. Perhaps i'll try with a 256x256 image and see if it works.

i believe u need 512 x 512

i believe u need 512 x 512

512x512 is for Loading Screen and Minimap is either 128x128 or 256x256.

And to the on who ask the question, maybe it have the problem on the picture itself your trying to make as a minimap. Try other picture if it will crash too.....

Try a different converter. Most converters can only be described as software trash.

512x512 is for Loading Screen and Minimap is either 128x128 or 256x256.

ok thx for the correction. i havent really dealt w making an image for map loading screen or for minimap

All done, 256x256 fixed the issue. Mainly i think it was because of this.

Although i agree, i have had to try a few converters before finding one that would properly do the job.
