Trouble with 'overview' map.

I've been following the Valve tutorial located here (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Creating_Level_Overviews) on how to make a mini-map overview.

However I'm not sure I've done everything right... I've made its a TGA but I'm not sure if I've done that right either.

I've uploaded the TGA here (.zip form) (http://www.rolkdesigns.com/images/temp_images/dod_arras.zip). I can't convert it to vtx (I think thats the format I'm trying to convert it too) either.

If someone could help me, that would be great, as my map is ready to go, but I would prefer not to release it without the mini-map working 100%!

Thanks.

Hello Rolk,

You need to go through the steps again in that tutorial. The pic appears to not be the correct resolution (too small). If that does not work, pm me, i will help you set it up, if you want.

I follow the instructions, and everything is good, the only confusing thing is that I dont know what value to use for cl_leveloverview variable.

I can't get the picture set properly in the window. It looks like the guy sets it to 1.5 in the image example. In the file afterward, its showing at 6.0. What value do you use. I can almost get the image to fit properly behind the referenceline at 2.25 or so.

Can anyone help?
