You know the image you see when you're playing on B.Net before starting the game, I want to change it to a custom image but can't find where to do this...

Anyone?

Save your image as a 128*128 or 256*256 pixels targa (.tga) image.

Open your map, click on import manager, import the file, and rename it to war3mapPreview.tga. Make sure it is in no directory (not even War3MapImported\), the full path must be war3mapPreview.tga.

Doing 128 by 128 makes it a bit blurry. if you care about the look of it then use 256

Be sure to use the same capitalization.

And make sure to save it as paletted TGA. That will shrink the size of the picture remarkably.

doesn't work :o

war3mapPreview.tga in both name and path... can it have to do with that the name of the file wasnt "war3mapPreview.tga" before I imported it?

If it was a .tga file originally, I don't think that it should matter much.

If it wasn't, get a program that can convert to tga, I recommend Irfan View.
