I have been modifying many of the minimap files.

Like getting actual overviews and things like that and also i noticed the player sprites on it were huge when the minimap was fully zoomed out so I made smaller ones.

Well, two things I'm not happy with are the death sprite (which shows when you a teammate dies on the minimap) and the flag sprites which also imho are too big.

However I can't find them in the sprite folder. Does anyone know where they are?

I don't know about the death sprites, but I do know that the flag sprites are the same as the sprites that show up in the corner of the screen in the flag cap section of the hud.
