Hey, I'd put this in the mapping forum, but I'm looking for someone who would like to create a custom minimap image for me.

" * In order to get the image as minimap preview, it has to meet the standards first.
The picture acquires to be 128*128 or 256*256 in pixel size. (I would suggest using 128*128 since the size is a lot more smaller than 256*256)
In IrfanView we do "Image>Resize/Resample" than change the width and height, and press ok.

* Next up is converting the file type to TGA, we do this cause the minimap preview can only be read in this file type.
In irfanview we just go to "File" and then press "Save as" and go to the option "Save as Type", a drop down menu will appear, select "TGA - Truevision Targa" and press save."

I'm looking for a minimap preview image for my map. Troopers vs Zombies, doesn't have to include the version # It would be nice if it look WC3-ish, maybe a pudge chasing a human or something, or it could be custom like digi's version of the new rnr minimap image.

The image should include your credits for making it, credits for where you got the picture if its not yours,

I think thats about it. Please no MS Paint and don't shit on this thread :D

Minimap preview is better at 256. 128 saves some yes, but you lose a lot of quality stretching it back out, and you're only talking about 100k or so in size. Successful maps should have nice graphics. The download time is only going to be 1 more second.

Sigh. I'm lazy. But do you have an idea? Or did you already draw one up that I can put effect on it?

just an idea so far. nothing tangible yet.

but anything made with a Pudge in it, would be cool. really just as long as it looks good, and possibly has something to do with zombies i'll use it.
