Mini Map Mod, and Built in mod manager.

Post by Michael Slaunwhite »

Hi.

I am trying to figure out how to add the minimap mod to be used in the built in mod manager, this way there is no need for overwriting files.

I kept the directory structure...example.

Mods\Minimaps\Base\Maps\ (All New .dds map files)

I was thinking is this would work...and it doesn't.

Cheers...

Remove the Base folder, think of Base as a mod folder.

Mods\Minimaps\Maps

A quick thrown together mini-map using Garnier's very nice util, with the original game map overlayed.

Not very pretty atm, but maybe the units/icons are easier to make out?
