Fix for black mini-map C&C3
Worldbuilder
Without a custom art.tga file, the mini-map in the upper right corner
will be black during game play. You must do the following below in order
for the mini-map to show correctly.
1) go into WorldBuilder and load up your map
2) hit CTRL+F to go into top view, and zoom out until you can see the
whole map.
3) go to the edit menu and uncheck waypoints, object maps, until all you
see is the bare map and the objects on it. ( If you have the map seeded
with Tiberium, you should remove it for the time being)
4) hit the Print Screen key, go into an image editor like PhotoShop or
GIMP, go
File - > New and then Edit-> Paste.
5) Crop the image into a square by holding down the shift key and
dragging across the image so that only the map is selected. Hit Enter.
NOTE: You MUST flip the map image vertically in order to sync up with
your map in-game. In other words, it has to be turned upside down.
7) go to image -> Image Size and reduce the image to 128 or 256 square.
8) Save the file as a Targa (.tga) file with the map name and the
extention "_art.tga
example: if your map is "my_map. map" its minimap file would be "
my_map_art.tga" put it in the same folder as your completed map.
Now you'll have a working minimap. |

How to view the official C&C3 Maps in the
World Builder
This is for those of you who wish to open the official C&C3 maps, which
is particularly useful given the specific lighting and postfx settings
for the different zone types.
Step 1: Grab a C&C3 .big file opener, you can get it at
Project Perfect Mod
Step 2: Open the mpmaps.big typically found in C:Program
Files/Electronic Arts/C&C3/MP/1.0/
Step 3: Extract the files inside.
Step 4: Place those maps in
C:Users/<your_user_name>/AppData/Roaming/C&C3/Maps/ (Note! You may need
to change your settings to view hidden files, since the AppData folder
is hidden)
Note: This may alternatively be in the C:Documents and
Settings/<your_user_name>/Application Data/C&C3/Maps/ depending on your
version of Windows.
Step 5: Load the World Builder and click open, they'll be seen in the
list of options shown. You can also play any maps placed in that folder
in C&C3. |
