Usage
====================
Press 'Enter' on the Numpad to activate and deactivate the window while ingame. You can also hold down Ctrl while pressing Enter to view the window with the original map texture. (See details below)

Custom Mini-Map Support
====================
By default, this map will use the original 128x128 terrain_custom.tga map texture that is usually used. However, map makers have the choice to add a custom file to their mission's directory to give support for higher resolution maps, as seen in the screenshot. To do this, render your map at the resolution you want (minimum recommended size is 512x512) and save it as the following file:

• terrain_bigmap.tga

This way the mod will use this texture instead of the standard lowres minimap texture. There is one small bug to be aware of when doing this however: Should you choose to create this file, the big map window will no longer be able to render the shroud on the map.

WTF

Good job.

so can make Original and bigger ingame just pressing Enter???

No, it's a seperate window that opens and closes. Like MP3 player.

oh ok

An update has been released for the Big Map Window mod. The following has been changed:

• Redrew the mini-map icons for units, buildings, and resources to be 2x or even 3x the original size.
• Added a new feature wherein a specific map can include support to draw a much higher resolution minimap, as opposed to the original 128x128 resolution.
