I want to create an overview map for an old map that doesn't have one (dod_deliverance_b3).

I understand I need these variables

global
{
ZOOM t
ORIGIN x y z
ROTATED r
}

layer
{
IMAGE "overviews/dod_deliverance_b3.bmp"
HEIGHT z
}

I assume HEIGHT and the z value of the ORIGIN vector are the same. How can I find x and y (I assume it's the center of the map in game). Can I run a console command that shows my location (x y z) when I am running around in game so i can spot it? How is rotated used?

Thx in advance

When I try to make an overview, areas outside map are green and areas inside map are gray. What am I doing wrong?

You dont have the right settings for bmp compression.

BMP Options. Windows 8bit.

I have never heard of bmp compression settings in Half-Life. So how do I make it work? (setp-by-step please)
