MiniMap Guide

[Xanan]

A guide to adding minimaps

Step one:
Firstly open MapMaker and open the map you wish to add a mini map for.
The click file, then save to bitmap. Like so...

​

Step Two
Open paint then go into the folder you opened the map from and you will find a bitmap image called map.bmp

Open this then click image, then stretch/skew. In horizontal/vertial its says 100. Replace the 100 with 25 so it looks like this. Once done click ok.​

​

Once this is done save it and close paint.


Step three
Open LomImageViewer and then open mmap.wil in your lom client data folder. Click along till you find an empty space to put your minimap in.
Once found the space click on it then click import. Then find your map.bmp you save and click ok. The image will now be in the mmap.wil but dont close LomImageViewer.

Step Four
Open minimap.txt in:
mirserver\mir200\envir

Scooll to the bottom and type in the mapname following the pattern that the rest use.

It works like this.

Map mmap.wil number

The map is obviously what the map is called.
The mmap number is the number that your mmap image is in mmap.wil.

​

​

So for this map it would be:
mapname 69

Save the minimap.txt reboot your server and it should work.

Hope this helps.

So for this map it would be:
mapname 69

not always true, its some times the number after so 70 they are very very very unpredictable and sometimes u may find when adding it using libed u get a incorrect size msg. But thanks for taking the time to write it up

The number the map is in the image veiwer is not what it should be in the minimap.txt, you need to +1 to the number in the image veiwer and add it into the minimap.txt.
