Hi, I posted this already in the map area, but no ones responded. Um, I was wondering what program I need to veiw the screen shots from the game, and also.. how do I import them into a map I'm making for the loading screen? I mean, its like the only thing I don't know how to do when makin my own map and its gettin me frustrated cuz I've tried to figure it out. So plz plz plz if you have any info let me know. I play on USWest as Aoraken if u want to contact me when I'm on B.net.

Tnx bunches

Make a 32-bit depth .tga image with dimensions 256x256 pixels and name it war3MapPreview.tga (if I remember correctly). Import it to your map using the Import Editor and remove the war3Imported\ directory.

To edit .tga's, I recommend Adobe Photoshop if you're filthy rich, or Gimp (if you're not).

I think there are lots of tutorials on how to do the minimap thing... issit in the sticky FAQ?

To view screenshots, if you're lazy like me and can't download anything, use Internet explorer. That's what I do, really. I open the screenshots in internet explorer (it should by default load quicktime, or your default image viewer).

i don't think it needs to be 32-bit, but i'm not sure.

And yes, the directory in game is war3mappreview.tga

Wait a sec.. Loading Screens? not minimap previews.

that's a tad tougher but not that hard. http://www.wc3campaigns.com/showthre...loading+screen
