I think you can not have custom images on maps blips.

Need to download OpenIV, then search for blimp2.ytd. Once in the texture dictionary you can replace the texture file with one of your own.
If you want to replace it, just save it there (careful this changes base game files)
If you want to stream it, you can save the entire ytd, then stream it to your server. Spawn blimp2 and set livery.

You can. Simply extract the minimap.ytd from OpenIV, export the sprite blips_texturesheet_ng or blips_texturesheet_ng2 as PNG, modify them with whatever software (paint, photoshop, GIMP), import them back, then stream the minimap.ytd in a stream folder of a resource.

Here’s the last minimap.ytd available in OpenIV:
minimap.ytd (525.5 KB)

And both sprites:

blips_texturesheet_ng:

blips_texturesheet_ng
blips_texturesheet_ng1024Ă—1024 440 KB

blips_texturesheet_ng2:

blips_texturesheet_ng_2
blips_texturesheet_ng_21024Ă—1024 365 KB

Hey dude thanks for the reply on my topic
I am trying to stream some blips but I can’t seem to get the mcdonalds blip in-game
here is my blips.lua file and minimap.ytd

(EDIT)
I have made several attempts for the mcdonalds. That’s why it’s repeated for so many sprites

@Nikiforos_Vouteris I see you got some nice colored blips who aren’t in the minimap.ytd you provided.

Is there by any chance another resource who’s already streaming a minimap.ytd at the same time ?

Because, you can’t stream 2 minimap.ytd simultaneously, only the first one will be used by the server.

It’s working fine on mine.
Capture

The color seems a little bit “darked”, but that’s probably because of the colored layer you were applying on top of it with the SetBlipColour native.

anyone found solutions of this

where can i find it in my files?

If you are referring to the minimap.ytd file, just search for it in OpenIV. A possible location for the file is /GTAV/x64b.rpf/data/cdimages/scaleform_minimap.rpf.

you da real mvp

15

for some reason the images are not working for me, minimap.ytd is not changing the blips

17

how are the custom blips working for you, because is isn’t for me. Could you please send me a file on how to also stream custom blips? e.g. like the mcdonlds one?
