Map picture

[Thul Rasha]

Hello,

How to change the map picture, i've seen it done with MARVEL-TD and Tides of Blood maps.
The picture looks like a jpeg image.

And what about the terain picture in the mini map? Can that also be changed.
I would like to turn the minimap terain off, because it doesnt make sense if you change the camera bounds through scripting.
This could also be acomplished by forcing the Ctrl + T key for a player. How is that done?

Trying a smiley now:

if im right its a tga or a blp image. i think u must put it in via the campaign editor ( if ur map doesnt turn in campaign yet ) didnt try it yet

theres a big multi tool file for this on wc3campaigns.com called "w3m Map utilities" along with a nifty lagless model import spell edit etc it has map editing, as for ingame map editing, that's a nadda...

I found it:

Import your image as a 128x128 or 256x256 TGA file called "war3mapPreview.tga". Make sure it has a custom path in the Import Manager (it can't be under any directory, including war3mapImported). This will not change the minimap in-game.

Steps:
1. Make an 256x256 image and save it as war3mapPreview.tga
2. Start the world editor and open the Import Manager
3. Import your tga file
4. Edit the import entry and choose custom path
5. Remove the path name, so that only the filename remains
6. Done
