Tried add custom pic to map..

You know when you go and play on bnet and you dl a map many maps have some custom pic showing up after you dl it on the right corner of your screen. I tried to do this to by changing my war3map.Blp but when i started the game it doesnt go away and the map is m custom pics.. how to do this?

it's war3mapPreview.tga
128 x 128 or 256 x 256

THE ENTIRE METHOD:
make a new image 128 x 128 or 256 x 256, using paintshop pro, or anything that can allow 32bit color bitmaps...(im not sure if this has to be 32 bit on map previews, but it does for loading screens), and save you new bitmap. now, get an image file converter and convert it to a tga image, and rename it war3mappreview.tga. import it into your map, with the custom path war3mapPreview.tga (again) and there you go:D

Sweeet THanx! thats pretty ez :P

Whoa a my pic was only 20kb when it was in jpg but after converting it to tga it became over 200k is this right?

Yep. :ggani:

if u use W3MUtility u can use Jpg and then insert ur minimap... thats the way i did it :D

YAY!! SWEET THANK YOU! ive been wanting to do this but it wasnt #1 priority, so i never asked... :bgrun:
