Generate minimap icons/flags

Post by MillerMod »

Hi Mates!

How can i add minimap icons to the minimap like this?

Not all of them, maybe just some them.
(Icons have to be in exact position.)

What kind of program should i use?

I would recommend you go with Photoshop. Make sure it is converted from DDS before doing anything though because I do not think you can open a DDS file in PS directly.

Just Google the DDS Converter to convert your file. That file is called something like "ingamemap.dds" in your map's RFA, Textures folder.
See my Strasbourg map project here.

I know how to make it editable, but how can i exactly put the icons to the right places?

You can add icon of any object to minimap with Battlecraft, read "About IGM Icons.txt" file in ..\Battlecraft 1942\IGMIcons\ folder
