Radar is missing #15

We have a radar in Nexuiz with the map scheme. It even has it's own HUD settings. However, it is completely missing in Rexuiz. In Nexuz radar was in .tga format, while in Rexuiz it's in .jpg. It might be the reason. Screens from Nexuiz: nexuiz000001 nexuiz000003

Radar was just removed from hud because it's mostly useless and also have impact to performance (at least it was noticeable years ago). Note that mini map is still available (it's actually same thing as radar, just with fixed position) by pressing "m" button. So, there is no any relation with image formats.

I think i left radar settings in menu for compatibility with nexuiz servers or maybe i just forget.

Radar can be restored easily, but it doesn't feel like some useful feature, because this game have sprite pointers, which provide more information.

That screen is from Nexuiz. There is no Radar setting in Rexuiz. I think its a neat feature if maps are big and you can monitor your teammates on a radar constantly. Xonotc has a radar too. Please add it as an optional feature. Why not? minimap is not convenient.

I have 250fps on a standard map with a radar on an imbedded videocard so I don't think it impacts the performance too much.

Radar returned in latest update. Related settings in menu will be restored later.
