Custom Mini map help!

Ok I need help making my own custom mini map for my map. I nkow that you have to import it but in what format, and what size of a pic. I was looking around and went in campaing editor and saw I could use a custom mini map, but im not sure if it'll work that way, and im not really familiar using campaign editor. Could someone help me?

I am also wondering how I could make a timer so everyone playing the map can see a timer window, but it counts down and when it reaches zero force 1 loses, and force 2 wins? But if force 1 kills force 2's heros within the timelimit then they win. PLease reply with help.

required image size: 256x256 pixel
image type: .tga
path: war3mapmap.tga

use import manager not campaign editor

Ok I did what you said now the pic. I want shows up and all but now I can see the buildings as in like merc. camps and stuff, so they block out some of the picture? Whats wrong? YOu know how to fix this?

You could try disabling the creep camp icons. This is done using the trigger "Game - Hide creep camps on mini map". This should be done during map init, though I do not know for sure if it'll help.

Well yeah, but when I tested my map my hole mini map was the pic. like if you know what I mean. So you couldnt see any of the terrain.

use this file path instead war3preview.tgs
