PenguinEmperor	Okay, I was wondering how Tim. managed to make a custom minimap for his Pirate map. Any ideas?

Guest	In WEU you can change both the minimaps. Edit map -> Imported files

Here-b-Trollz	In ANY editor, you just import a file to the correct path.... if you search you'll find those paths. I think it's like "blah\blah\mapPreview.blp"

PenguinEmperor	Not the preview. That's obvious. I mean, he had like custom icons and such for the terrain.

Evernite.	The in-game minimap? If I recall correctly, the path is 'war3mapMap.tga'. However, I've had a crash problem with this in the past.

Alexander244	Changing the neutral building icon for the rocks. You can either change the normal one in game interface, or if you want to keep the normal minimap icon for shops you can use the following natives for an alternate icon: JASS: call SetAltMinimapIcon(string path) call UnitSetUsesAltIcon(unit u, true)
