Hi guys, Sorry to post another question on mini maps, but I just cant get it working. Ive tried all the tuts and cant get it working. So, Ive made the image and saved it as a 24bit tga. Saved the .iwi file in assman as instructed, got no errors when saving it. All good so far (I think) I added the line to my csv and gsc files, but when I try and load the map, I get "error, cant find "whatever.tga". Not sure why its looking for a tga anyway, as I converted it to an iwi, shouldnt it use that?? Also, in certain tuts they mention a gdt file? Cant find that anywhere? Just the levels one I loaded from within Assman. And there is also mention of an "image" folder within an iwi file?! How do you even open these files to see if there is a folder in there..? Im very confused, but Im sure as usual there is a very simple explanation. Can anyone help please? Thanks in advance

Hey, I sorted it out, thanks to WaR111 on Youtube for this tut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWyK7LHqeqc The part that was really confusing was the bit about making an iwd file from a zip. Dave explains it in the video and also comments about it, which explains it better than any of the other tuts. This may also help you if you are having trouble with loading screens. So, If you are having problems with minimaps, I recommend checking out his tuts. next!
