Mini Map Image

I want an image over the minimap when you're in the player-gathering room or whatever.... How to do it and what size?

256x256 or 128x128 (low quality) targa. Import and rename to war3mapPreview.tga

Must be something I'm doing wrong... I got a 128x128 .tga picture, i saved it twice as "wc3.tga" and "war3mapPreview.tga" and tried importing both (one at a time) and neither worked... (Yes I changed the path).

Post 2:

Help plz?

Edited by Blade.dk. Reason: DO NOT DOUBLE POST!.

Maybe give us some details, then?

A "help plz?" is useless, since you have already been told the solution to your problem. If you still can't get it to work and need more help, attach the image and the map.

I just want to know if there's some thing (obvious or not so obvious) that the guy in the tutorial has forgot to mention?

Obviously something doesn't add up.

attach the image.

Can't attach .tga-files....

You can now.

Just put it in a zip archive.

Ok here's my test image... Should be 128x128 or 256x256.

Bump.

It works *perfect* for me when I import it to a map and change the path to "war3mapPreview.tga" without the "war3mapImported\" that automatically is added. You must be doing something wrong.

I go to the Import Manager, Import File, select the file... double-click the file, Use Custom Path, and change it to "war3mapPreview.tga" ...

Shouldn't that do the trick?

Do you have to save the picture at some specific location before importing it? Like in the wc3 folder? Or can you just put it straight into C: and then import and it still should work?

No, you can import it from everywhere. Since it works perfect for me, I wonder if it can be the fault of your graphic card and settings not allowing the image to show up, but that is just a guess. I can attach a demo map where it is working, if you want.
