Overview and interest images

Currently all of the Official Maps, are missing the overview and interest images. I asked squeek in passing why, and he said he wasn't sure even how to make one. So I figured I would post how here so that we can get them included in the next patch (it looks pretty lame w/out them TBH).

It's not really tough, you just have to know what your missing. When I was fixing up the Interest view in my map, I stumbled across a screen that looked like this:



So I did some digging and found this in the consol (yes it's for a dif. map, but trust me it's the same thing):



So I created a test texture in that directory and it worked!

So to make this new texture, you need to go to the following directory:

Code:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\FortressForever\materials\vgui\maps\**your_map_name**\
You will have to create the "maps" folder, and then another folder for the map your making. Then inside that folder, you make 2 new textures; named "interest" and "overview". Make the .vmt look like this:

Code:
"UnlitGeneric"
{
  	"%keywords" "overview, interest"
	"$basetexture" "vgui/maps/**your_map_name/overview"
}
And when you load up the game, you should have something there now instead of the front buffer texture. Personally I think this is a nice place to bypass the Objectives section of the main screen (since we can't scroll) and put all the information you want to here instead.

Example:
