Mini Map on Screen #237

Open DarthxVoid opened 2 years ago

DarthxVoid commented 2 years ago

Describe the feature you'd like to see added

Put the map you have in the game and put it as optional put it as a minimap at the top right of the screen

This would be possible but it would require editing all the EFF files for every room in the game, as the overlay would need to call on a texture and use a plane effect to draw it on. One limitation would be that the map would not be able to rotate with player movement.

DarthxVoid commented 2 years ago

Mr Curious so I think it is possible and he can move with the character as well with the quick turn, because with the compenion it was ok, just get the angle

Mister-Curious commented 2 years ago

Ok so I did a test run (see video below). There are some transparency issues when looking at the sky (maybe only because I have no sky in this room), but against all other models it seems to be ok.

While this seems like a novelty, I am not really sure that it is useful at all. It just seems like a big eyesore.

I liked the result, I think you can fix the transparency, I would just add a round mini map DDS texture and zoom in on the room you are in

Mister-Curious commented 2 years ago

Thanks, but there is no way to add a zoom feature as you suggested, so its just this ugly overlay with no real function. I don't think this is something that people would want.

DarthxVoid commented 2 years ago

If there was a way to do it in real time, it would be very good, as in RPG games where the map messes with your movement, I would like more in the mod part, that we change the maps and put fogs that you can't to find this minimap would be very useful
