LOL thats some bad a** pics

Fade filter looks alright except for one problem... that's going to end up being gREATLY distorted.

You have to design it at 800x450 and then RESCALE it to 512x512.

thanks for the imformation, i know it looks distorted in game but i didnt know the demensions for it, you saved the day :)

No problem. I actually psoted a tutorial about this in the Map Development forum a while back... it's stickied there.

I saw Drax's tutorial on the fade filter, but how do you change the minimap?

extract it from your map, or easier use the w3m utilities thing to do it for you, musch easier that way. but i got a question, i reamde it at 800x450, what do i do from here?

Now that you have it exactly how you want it, resize it to 512x512 (I know it squishes it soemthing awful) and put it in ReplaceableTextures\CameraMasks\Filename.tga. convert it to blp and inject it into your map.

If you don't want to use custom text, jsut make the filename panda-n-cub.blp, and in the drop-down in the Trigger module select the Panda n Cub filter.

For the minimap Preview, make a 256x256 TGA file titled war3mapPreview.tga and inject that into your map. (Do NOT conver this to blp)
