Minimap black

Post by coolmann »

Hi!
I successfully created a map which is working in Spring.
However I can not see any minimap. In the lobby and ingame it appears completely black.
I used mapconv gui to compile my map.

delete mini.bmp and mini.dds from your mapconv/map folder, and then recompile.

Done.
But I still have a black minimap in lobby.
Only change I can see is that mini.bmp and mini.dds are automatically created.
Minimap ingame works now, however in lobby still no minimap.

You use tasclient? Updating to newer version fixed it for me. Latest version is 1.01 I think.

lobby probably has the bad minimap cached... which lobby?

Clear the cache of minimaps your lobby uses (or just the cache for the minimap of your map).
