*sigh* So I can't seem to get it to where I can take a picture. It keeps telling me there are not exactly two "minimap_corner" entities. However, after numerous compiles I can assure you that they are there. Is there any other way I can get a picture of it from above?

Did you use the minimap_corner prefab?
Or did you make a script_origin yourself. If you made it yourself did you forget the targetnames? (I've seen that one before)

This minimap can be a pain. this is what i would do

1. make shere that both minimap_corner are placed at the same hight

2. save your map

3. set it up for single player

4. save your map with out the mp so it can be singel player

then follow the tut on how to do it
it should work then

either something wrong with the minimap_corners (eg. capitalized letters in key/value pairs) or you added too many?

Save yourself the HUGE hassle of converting an MP map to SP and use the updated tutorial.

I tried using the updated and I get the error. Either way, I get the error.

The only issue that I could see is that I used the Backlot map and added onto it. Now, I looked everywhere for the origins they may have used top make the original minimap but did not find any. I deleted the two I added and tried to make a minimap to see if maybe thiers were still there but I got the same error. So I added mine back in, same height, equadistance, everything, but still the same error. The map is compiling correctly so I know they are in the map, but it just doesn't seem to recognize them.

In Radiant: Edit -> Entity Info... to find minimap_corner origins easier

Woot! Found a random one laying around. Deleted it, got the screenshot... however now I am running into problems trying to make the file.

I set up all the settings exactly as specified, go to PC Convert and click "Current Asset Only" (In the tutorial he has something else listed but this is the only option I have other than convert all). I do that and I get an error...

CreateProcess failed for both
[root]\bin\assetmanager\pcCovertSingle.bat "material" "compass_map_mp_backlotextreme"
and
[root]\bin\assetmanager\pcConvertSingle.exe "material" "compass_map_mp_backlotextreme"

EDIT:

It appears that these assetmanager folders don't even exist... I am going to reinstall the mod tools and see if that fixes the problem.

What O/S are you in, Terian? (Sorry if I asked you before)
