Minimap

Minimap

Create a new minimap.png file using your favourite graphics editor.

There are two options for making a minimap. The outcome is identical.

Format

• Image size of 32x32 to 128x128
  • Odd sizes like 64x32 or 128x64 is fine.
  • Recommend no bigger than 128x128 but it will work.
  • Save as 32-bit

Tips

• Turn off anti-aliasing
• White pixels must be RGB(255, 255, 255)
• Black pixels must be RGB(0, 0, 0)
• Any other pixel colour will turn into white

Option 1: Black Background, White Track

• Use black pixels for the background and white pixels for the track.
• The black pixels will be transparent in-game

• Easiest option to make because it is easy to see the track

Option 2: Transparent Background, White Track

• Transparent pixels must be FULL transparent or they will turn into white pixels

• Transparent version much harder to see the track in the graphics editor.

Export

Place minimap.png in the track folder.

desktop/mycoolmods/tracks/mytrackname/minimap.png

The same folder as the track data that looks like this:

In-game configuration

• In the minimap tab the position of the minimap, finishline, and players markers can be configured.
• The minimap can also be coloured
