[SOLVED] Custom minimap not appearing

[Roarl]

Hi folks,

I followed Steff's minimap tut (very helpful btw!! ) and... well as the title says it's not working, the minimap stays transparent... :/

So basically :

• I did use tabs in md5translate.trs
• I did put the md5translate.trs file and all the blp's in Textures/Minimap
• I did make sure I used 256x256 textures which I converted with BLPConverter6
• I also tried renaming "map2_2.blp" into "map2_02.blp" as Will mentioned at the last page of the tutorial thread, and I even moved all my adt's from [2;2]->[7,7] to [19; 13]->[24;18] to make sure it wasn't because I had only one figure per coordinate in my adt file names
• Finally, I did sort the "dir:" list in alphabetical order

Here's my modification to md5translate.trs :

Code: [Select]

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration!

Solved it!

I don't understand why (maybe you guys do understand? If so, I'd be grateful if you could explain me) but the game would not read my version of the md5translate.trs file because it was in the enUS directory.

I just created a new MPQ "Patch-4.MPQ", put my minimap files into it and placed this little guy with the standard data patches in the "Data" folder. Worked like a charm.
