I would really like to know how to change the minimap preview picture in Reign of Chaos. Before you say you can't, King Leopold does it and so do many of the Hero Wars maps.

Put in a war3mapPreview.tga? Or is that only for TFT?

What exactly are the steps to changing the .tga file?

Open the map with MPQMaster
Extract the file named war3mapPreview.tga
Open it in an editor that supports targa images, such as Photoshop
Make your changes
Save
Delete the one in the map, using MPQMaster
Add the saved one into the map
Go to the menu bar, drop down Options, and choose the bottom one, Compact(Flush)
Hooray!
