Question..

[madcat2]

I was wondering in some games there are pictures over the mini-maps in games(not the preview screen if thats what you're thinking i mean the in-game mini map). Well basicly i just want to know the max size/path to import it.

There is a function in the WE Enchancer (Comes with WEU) to change it. I just checked it (never tried it before). You'll need a 256x256 image and the custom path must be war3mapMap.(???).
The program made a blp preview file so I'm not sure if it should be tga or blp. I suggest trying with tga first.

You dont need WE Enhancer.

madcat, just make your image, it can be any file size, but the diminsions must be either 256x256 or 125x125. While 256x256 will give you superior image quality (Because 125 Will be stretched) it is a bigger file size, with me its usually 200 kb.

Get a free image program, such as "Infraview" (google it, its real helpful tool). Just open up your picture that you made (Jpeg,BMP,Gif w/e) and use "Save as" in infraview and save it as a Tga file (Truevision Targa).

Then import it into your map and give it the path "war3mapPreview.tga"

Thats it.

isnt preview the screen the screen in the downloaders pannel?

i'll have to probably get a screen shot of what i mean.

The one you see when you have downloaded a game in the waiting spot in the game.

Ya, thats it.

he clearly said that he wanted to cover the in-game minimap. And i didnt say he would need WE Enchancer either.

Just make a 256x256 image in tga or blp and give it the path war3mapMap.(blp or tga)

Making a 256x256 image, the game will reduce it to 128x128 and unfortunately lose quality.

It's advisable to make a 128x128 instead of 256x256. This way the picture won't lose the original quality... :]

See ya..
