New Minimap

Recommended Posts

Here's a pic of the new minimap...

Looks a tad better than the old one I'd say :-)

 

In order to use it, create a directory called art in your EL folder and put the following files in there:

 

http://bjorn_mm.users.whitehat.dk/elc_patches/water.bmp

http://bjorn_mm.users.whitehat.dk/elc_patches/mountain.bmp

 

This is just temporary untill Roja comes up with some nicer tiles/textures for those 2 (mountain == 255) :-)

And for people having that "liquid grass" effect (like I had) when looking at the map editor in regular mode...do this for a quick fix...

 

COPY water2.bmp from the textures folder into the tiles folder.

Then rename water2.bmp to tile0.bmp

 

All done ;)

 

( p.s. It is a zero, not an o )

I'm having problems with the new minimap.

When i want to move to some area and i just click on the map then nothing happens.

Sometimes it works and the camera jumps to the place where i want to go but sometimes it is just staying the same as it was before. *keeps clicking* =(

That was such an annoying pain in the @$$

 

But no longer! I am free to zoom in exactly where I click now!

 

Thanks alot for fixing that :P

It could also show your current position with an X or something, if you want that? :P

You can already... Set the tool to be tile, then select the tile you want, go to minimap mode and rightclick :)

I'd love that, myself.. Please do that. :) But, make it able to be toggled in your suggested editor.ini, or with a button somewhere in the editor..

Well could you give an example of the circumstances when it'll crash? For now I haven't experienced one...

Make sure you have the folder art in your main el folder

And make sure that both the above .bmp's are spelled correctly and in that folder.

Yes, that is probably the cause of the error - re-read this :P:

In order to use it, create a directory called art in your EL folder and put the following files in there:

 

http://bjorn_mm.users.whitehat.dk/elc_patches/water.bmp

http://bjorn_mm.users.whitehat.dk/elc_patches/mountain.bmp

yep, that fixed it alright

 

edit: big problem, this started before i put the mountain and water and art folder thing and it is still doing it, when i try to open a map, in my map el directory and/or even the map directory the editor crashes and sends no errors

Yea, it's still got some bugs.

 

Like randomly crashing when you are placing heightmaps with in overhead mode.

 

But I would say it only crashes on me about 1 time for every hour I work, so it's bearable, just remember to save every few minutes.

Buuhan1 - is it a costum map you've made? If so, send it to me and I'll fix it. If not. which map generates this error?

 

Ravenod - I'll try look into it, didn't notice it the last time I worked on it, but I won't say it's not happening.

 

Want an auto-save feature?

I personally don't want an auto-save, because there are times when I'm 'Experimenting', and that would suck.

 

But, I'm not the majority either :P
