Is there an easier way to make minimaps so i dont have to use mgi photosuite and guess where my buildings are at? Is there some tool for making minimaps?

There is a small amout of info on making mini maps in the Star Wars: Battlefront Modder's Tutorial - Chapter 3: Zero Editor, this info is also reiterated in the C:\BFBuilder\Documentation\Zeroeditor page (hint: there are two zeroeditor documentation pages, open the bigger 44kb page or, just open one and if there's nothing in there try the other)
Hope this helps!

The HiRes map just shows texture and the Height map just shows terrain which my map doasnt have. What is this star wars battlefront modders tutorial?

somewhere is a button which forces your ZE camera to a point over your map. you can make a screen and paint the minimap as a new layer over the buildings.

thats a good idea. I'll try it. thanks.
