Some people this "press m" feature is not working for. Also it's better to use other methods for higher quality. The real confusion comes in when you add minimap and finding the right size for them.

This was my next question. What size should the image of the minimap be?

size does not matter, as if a players x is 50% along the width of a gmap, any good map system would be drawing the player x 50% along the width of the minimap image too

I think he was asking a question similar to one I asked before. I had previously asked with not much help if there were limitations to the size of minimaps. For example are minima's that are 1000x1000x pixels even able to be drawn or does the game go, lol no way, and not even try and show it. And to that question I do not have an answer yet. I just found an old minimap and I am using that for now on the project I am doing.

i wouldnt be surprised if the game stopped drawing it at 1024px, but having a "minimap" that large would be ridiculous anyway

Why not have the client draw the map as the player moves along?
