I've got some minor issue here. Some time ago I was (accidently) able to overwrite the Minimap.tga in my map, so the ingame minimap would show a custom background image. Now that I really could use it, I forgot how to overwrite the default minimap image. Everytime I change the name of my custom image to minimap.tga I get the message: "don't do that, that name is reserved!".
I want to replace the minimaps background image. Like I paint the terrain, but normal minimap functionality is still given. Means, there is a background layer with my custom picture replacing the actual terrain. Units and other stuff, that usually appear on the minimap, will still appear on the new image.
I already managed it once (by accident), but don't have a clue how.
I only remember, that I somehow managed to overwrite the Minimap.tga, which seems to be impossible for me now :(!
@grenegg: You're right. I just was looking at the wrong place with the mpq-editor -thanks :)!
Hello everyone,
I've got some minor issue here. Some time ago I was (accidently) able to overwrite the Minimap.tga in my map, so the ingame minimap would show a custom background image. Now that I really could use it, I forgot how to overwrite the default minimap image. Everytime I change the name of my custom image to minimap.tga I get the message: "don't do that, that name is reserved!".
Someone got an idea?
Thanks in advance -

If the editor is blocking you from doing it you could still do it with the mpq editor right?
@MaNtEc0r: Go
what do you want exactly?
replace the minimap with an image?
or replace the black mask with an image or ....?
@Helral: Go
