I've been working on this map for a long time, and I thought I'd show you guys the mini map

My guess is 768x512

Width 512 = worldmap, and this map doesn't seem to be designed as a worldmap.

it's 512 x 512, the idea wouldn't work with a smaller size.  Ark has confirmed that it should work.  I just need to do a lot of copy and pasting of terrains from other maps to get it to look better

also if can see correctly it has ridges on the sides, so even if it is a world map it would play like a regular map, ie your view could wrap around, but your vecs cant

vehicles can access those ridges

Not sure if it's really possible right now, as the game sets any map with width >= 512 as world maps.

Sure, you could turn off the bits that control world map but you would probably have to patch up a lot of other things as well. (for example, the globe view button would still be visible. The map would have the wrong X / pixel width mask which would screw up all reads and writes to the tile data in the map).
