Map making question

[Tashohnie]

Getting in to making maps now it's pretty cool but time consuming! ( About 20 hours so far from learning to making 3 maps >< )

Anyhow... I've just made a dungeon map now I've got the lay out down but I have not colored in the back ground outside of the dungeon walls. Now when I take a screen shot it's got a white back ground, will this be the case if using it as a mini map?

Do I have to manually draw the black back ground? At work so can't test in game atm.

Thanks.

once you have done the map all finshed go to file " Save to Bmp " do that then resize in paint or somthing to 50% for town map and 25% for minimap import into mmap.wil and job done

Nice one mate, thank you very much. Will this change the white/blank area to black or will I need to manually colour this in?

When you put a map ingame with no tile, i assume (never tried) it will just appear black. However on minimap.. your have holes in it, so you will see nothing, unless you do Chris's method and fill it in. There is however a black tile you can use to fill in the ground.

with shortys map maker it just fills white with no tiles filled , however on the 1.4 map editor its black ( i think)
ingame it will apear as black for the not filled bits but just fill the the non tiled bits anyway just for a bit of proffesionalism if your making a mini map :P
