Is there any way to edit the minimap for an smf map?

open up mini.bmp after it's been compiled, make your changes, then set it to ready only so it doesn't get overwritten

( i typically do this in maps with water as it looks nicer than simply showing the ground texture)

I've done this manually using hex editing, although since it's not like theres any encoding being done to the embedded minimap file, someone should code a simple minimap editing program.
