Thats grate.

I’ll see if I can replace the background texture of the map and add grid markers to it, I’m testing if I can do that

dunno if you can do that.

try to place the png into your folder and then change the path into %ugm/name.png

if that does not work,
you can try to use custom_markers.

make it bigger, and it should work ( as those can appear over the minimap )

Probably it’s possible to do.

edit. actually, maybe custom markers works too.

so that you don’t have to make capzones.

i’ll try that in a moment.

update…
it does not…

custom markers only work in the minimap.

entity{
  _template:t="minimap_battle_of_moscow_volokolamsk_countryside_winter"
  mapTex:t="%ugm/minmap/volokolamsk_countryside_winter_minimap_png24.png"
  farMapTex:t="%ugm/minmap/volokolamsk_countryside_winter_far_minimap_png24.png"

mapTex:t="%ugm/minmap/volokolamsk_countryside_winter_minimap_png24.png"

did you put the png inside a folder called " minmap "?

i don’t know… but try to place it outside.

just to be left with:

mapTex:t="%ugm/volokolamsk_countryside_winter_minimap_png24.png"

entity{
  _template:t="minimap_berlin_seelow_heights"
  farMapTex:t="%ugm/test_decals.png"
  mapTex:t="%ugm/test_decals.png"
}

test_decals

( regarding the picture, it’s inveresed because i figured out that you can’t map textures in case you want to place decals or what you want. it’s totally randomic and inversed )

( you may be interested @Bazsi37 but be carefull the position might be off. you’ll have to play alot with coordinates and parameters inside the zfar etc

Did you add capture point with icon? And able see them? Also it would be good if in code capture point entity before then entity with custom texture.

Yeah… Currently time only using this way possible to add custom image-texture.

nah it does work.

it’s just that his file is like, too " big " for it to be viewed by the minimap.

so he should try to resize it / compress it.

Its already compressed to 503kb.

I asked because the minimap might only accept certain sized images.
