The information on is necessary how to get from a map its minimap (well figure that is).
Has tried to extend WinMPQ from a file with expansion *.w3m a file with expansion *.blp, then to convert in a picture, and there such and is not present.

It is thankful in advance.

Hum! your English is weird but I think I get it.
1)You open your .W3M with WinMPQ.
2)You extract the War3Map.BLP and also War3Map.B00
3)Try to have a look here:

and pick up the BLP Exporter. Use it to convert the previous 2 files (BLP and B00).

Note: the BLP contains just a header of the minimap, teh B00 contains only the raw image data (JPEG).

Note2: If your map doesn't have a .BLP and .B00, it means that its minimap is stored in "war3mapMap.tga" in the .W3M file.
