Can someone explain the whole custom minimap deal to me... I have imported a custom TGA file named war3mapPreview.tga. No luck. I even gave it a custom path deleting the war3mapImported\ prefix. This is quite annoying. Anyone who has experience with this PLEASE help me. emote_confused

I have tried many things however the closest i've gotten is a blank (white) map preview. The picture can undoubedly fit and the file size is only 18KB. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?! Someone, soothe my dispair!

... Make it .blp...
If that doesn't work... Try getting the right ZxZ for the image...
Also... try renaming it to war3mapMapPreview.blp/tga

i've tried all these, and they dont work, topic creator , if you figured it out please post

Edit - Nevermind ,i figured it out, using photoshop, i pasted a new picture over it, and created a new layer, so i had to do a work around to save as tga and wouldnt work. so using photoshop, you need to delete the original layer and save as 32 bit without rge compression.
