OK, here goes, I made a C&C 3 map (just testing out) and I'm a beginner. But when I load it up on C&C3, the mini map display turns dark, and when I play in the map, it doesn't show the map. But the AI and all is working fine. Is this a glitch or something? Sorry if I don't know how to fix this, like I said before, I'm a newb at C&C3 mapping.

Thanks,

The minimap display is something which EA didn't think about, you'll have to make a screenshot of it yourself, then save it in TGA, and add an _art behind the name.
mymap_art.tga for an example.

Ok so admiral has it partly correct lil more complicated though step one open up your map in WB DO NOT Move around the map or anything from there go to view i think it is its in one of the sub menus but hit top down view.. then after it does that zoom out till u can see you map completly from the top down view after which u take a screen shot paste it in your favorite image editing prog.... that supports tga... from there cut the section out that shows your actual map... u dont want to ge any of the grey shit in your map preview.. paste that as a new image.. from there resize it to 256x256 yes it will most likly be distorted as all hell but somehow the game fixes this when its ingame... and now for the final step u need to flip it vertically and then save it as mymap_art.tga mymap being whatever the hell your map is named and poof there you go u now have yourself a map preview / minimap ingame
