The map I am wokring on is not a square, and I do not want to add to amount of terrain / area required within the skybox. So I want to be able place to minimap_corners outside , so that I can get my minimap to work corect. I know I can try it myself and see if it compiles, but thought I would jsut aask here first.

If you have Photoshop or any other editing program, when u have the snap shot, load it up in photoshop and just edit the bits you dont want, with Trees, or copy & paste buildings or w/e you want, really straight forward

Gd Luck

Yeah, that not a problem. Thats what I plan to do. Its that I see where the mini-map has to be a square, and the minimap corneres are what hte engine uses to calculate where the play is on the map.

my map is a rectangle not a square, and I dont want ot have to make the sky box a square, this would add alot of terrain I would have to place, which will also result in more resources to run the map. This is why I want ot palce the minimap_corners out side the sky box. Getting the image itself to look right isn't that big a deal.'

Make a temp skybox, a square, compile and make the minimap, and then place your old skybox back.
