MiniMap functionality update using WW3-Black gold and Lost souls #54

Open nutzeeer opened 3 years ago

Describe the solution you'd like In WW3-Black gold you can switch the map between a heightmap and a textured map that represents what you actually see. In lost souls you can "scrub" the minimap with the right mouse button to smoothly and quickly move the camera over the playing field. TMP only supports right clicks to move the camera.

Describe alternatives you've considered Was it ever considered to just replace TMP with LS and adapt the balancing? I dont know the other differences that might exist, so i cant judge that. Probably some incompatibilities.

I dont know if this is easy to implement, as it seems to be in-engine stuff, but i dont know. I hope you like the idea!

If LS is compatible to TMP maybe we could just replace the exe to get the scrolling functionality? Dont know about the textured minimap though. I cant quite judge whether this can be implemented without editing the exe itself
