    Just an FYI... What I really want to do is to try making some nice nifty artwork for Fam's Minimap idea, and I wanted to see if I could come up with a really sweet looking Minimap colorscheme that doesn't wash out... And generally play around with things.

    Download sprite explorer. There's a link in the mapping faq. This was something I was thinking about doing also. I wonder what the official position is on manual minimap editing. I was thinking that I would make the minimap in parts of my map reflect the layout of things before it was infested.

    I just figured it out... minimap editing reminds me of "drawing" things with paint <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->. I don't think u want to make u're minimap reflect things before ti was infect, for that reason alone, ignoring the fact that the minimap is "created" by the Marines Nano while they're there <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->, so it'd be against story line, but w/e u wanna do <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    As a side note, how many people would want a minimap that has a black background now? They look soo much better... I could do up all of the ones for the "official" maps in like 5 minutes.

    If you look in the models forum, you'll see I released black-background sprites about an hour ago <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
