I never had this line in my zone file and all minimaps I've created work properly. Btw. this minimap.cfg only sets different dvars to make a proper screenshot for the minimap (like disabling 2d stuff, gun, fog, sun etc.) nothing more. So adding this line to the fast file is nothing more then adding rubbish. On my first map it asked me to add it to my zone file, so I always had it. It's not like I've destroyed his chances of ever having a working minimap by telling him that, what will it do add like 1 byte to his ff size? Lol.

Did you delete you scripts that you placed in your map to take the over head shot? You need to keep these in order for minimap to work(the game needs reference points to put your marker and ally's amrkers on the mini map). I know this becuase I did exactly as you did and got the result you have and finally figured out that I had deleted the origins I had placed originally. edited on May. 2, 2008 08:08 pm by =DREAD=Alpha

When I copied and pasted the minimap lines into my .gsc file I forgot to change the "compass_map_mp_yourmapname" well... to my map name. Changed it this morning after going over all the files again and looking at the replies here... Thanks to all for your input and I promise to try and not to put up such a noob question again.
