<div class="IPBDescription">I know NOTHING about mapping.</div> Is there a good way of getting something I can edit in Paint out of a minimap .spr file? I have some ideas for layout change to a certain map that I want to spark some discussion on, but I dunno if I can just do that with the file as is or anything. Of course, I'd normally just try it and see first, but this is the school compy, so I don't exactly have NS. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

You will need <a href='ftp://ftp4.extreme-players.de/doenerking/tools/sprview.zip' target='_blank'>Sprite Viewer</a> to open *.spr files and save them as bmp.
The minimaps are usually in your <b>/half-life/nsp/sprites/minimaps/</b> folder.

Hmm. That works, but it doesn't have the hive/res/weld overlay things on it. Anyway I can get something a shade more useful? Maybe I should just take a screenshot... :/

Those are individual sprites that are assigned to the minimap when the map loads.
