Minimap Image Problem

[Aizen]

Okay, I have this problem. I have an image I want to use for a minimap. It is 256x256, 24 bit color and .tga. I set the import path to 'war3mapPreview.tga'. However, when I test my map, it displays a black screen with a question mark. I have tried changing the pixels to 128x128 and the extension to .blp from .tga. It just doesn't seem to work.

I know my image is fine, because I have tested importing it to other maps and it works fine. However, it just doesn't work with my map. Any ideas? ANyone have any similar problems that they managed to fix? Thanks for your patience.

I'm pretty sure wc3 doesn't support .tga files. Have you tried using wacraft III viewer to convert to blp?

Hope this helps.

mapPreview requires blp, mapMap can be blp OR tga.

So yea. convert to blp.

If i import a .blp, do i change the path to war3mapPreview.blp?

correct sir

I can't get blp images to work with my map or any map. However, i'm starting to think my map data is damaged, because even though I did not have a minimap image, it should still display the image of the ingame minimap. THat is not the case. I see a yellow question mark on a black background.

thats an option in map settings. Hide minimap image (true/false)

OMG@!!! I LOVE U TO DEATH! I never saw that option. TYTYTY =), i finally have a minimap.

It usually starts disabled so you might have turned it to true on accident
