Instant HUD

Dghelneshi

Huge bug in v0.7a, good thing noone downloaded yet.

Someone told me this was a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_copy#Shallow_copy" target="_blank">shallow copy</a> problem.

v0.71a (March 24th 2012):
- fixed bug with everything blinking red

Dghelneshi

Updated for b205.

I probably won't add any new features for quite some time, since I'm currently preoccupied with Skycam whenever I feel like coding.

how much does this help with combat?

Why not just try it out? Everyone's different. I like being able to see through the map and also instantly recognize where players are, since I open it up <b>a lot</b>, so I think it does help me.

thx

Just a quick update again. Unless something really obvious needs to be done, I'll just update the mod for every build without adding new things.

In case you guys haven't noticed: This mod is fully compatible with Insight. To ensure the transparent map is working, you need to install this mod <b>after</b> installing Insight (into the same folder).

v0.75a (May 18th 2012):
- update for b208

Dghelneshi

Made a small (nonessential) update due to changes in b210. The old version is still working fine in b210.

Dghelneshi

Updated for b212 (mandatory update this time).

Whoops, accidentally broke it by including stuff from Insight. Fixed.

Dghelneshi

Updated for b213/214.

I was without computer for a week, hence the late update. Doesn't seem like anyone is still playing and/or caring, but whatever. :D

Mendasp

I care!

no_idea

I dont even have the beta and I care! It will be the first and most important mod I'm going to install.
So keep the good work up;)

Dghelneshi

Updated for b215.

Dghelneshi

v216 (August 10th 2012):
- update for b216
- adopted white/gray map for all teams
- removed black background and blur shader from minimap
- removed useless objective display

swalk

Thank you. Hopefully UWE puts your great stuff in the game.

JoggingBear

Quick question. Is there a way to tweak the level of transparency of the minimap?

Dghelneshi

Sure, the alpha values for pretty much everything are in lines 43 to 48 in GUIMinimap.lua.

You might have to tweak other things like the alpha values for infestation to make it look right (lines 72-84; Color values are R,G,B,A).

JoggingBear

Thanks! Managed to tweak it to look almost-vanilla.

Thanks again for a great mod.

v217 (August 30th 2012):
- update for b217
- all blips use their respective team's color now; blips under attack pulse in red
- blips are bigger again
- minor minimap alpha changes
<!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro--><!--sizeo:5--><span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->- removed a few files, please delete your mod folder if you update it from a previous version<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->


EDIT: Will do another update soon, noticed a few things missing while playing.

Dghelneshi

v217a (August 31th 2012):
- player icons are more obvious
- more alpha tweaks

This should be pretty good for now.

Edit:
v217b (September 3rd 2012):
- removed celerity screen blur effect
- fixed minimap layers
- removed screen blur from buy menu

Edit2:
v218 (September 6th 2012):
- updated for b218

Dghelneshi

Updated for b219.

Dghelneshi

Updated for b220.
There was a massive overhaul of the whole minimap code in b220 so it took me a bit longer. My code seems at least a bit cleaner after this though.

Keep up the good work. I wish UWE would just incorporate your mod into the main game, there's absolutely no reason not to.

Dghelneshi

Thanks a lot.

This mod and all of those I play with will unfortunately break with Build 221 due to consistency checks. :/
Hopefully I will still be able to play the game with 85° FoV (5:4 screen).

IIRC UWE said server admins will be able to define which lua files are allowed to be modified and which not.

Wilson

I feel like most of the mods I use should just be options in the game anyway. I guess I will post a list once the consistency checks come out and stop me from using them.

If you allow one lua file to be modified, you might as well just allow all of them and give cheaters easy access. It doesn't matter whether I implement my wallhack in GUIMinimap.lua or in Client.lua. It's a bit harder to do than in the appropriate lua files, but not impossible.

Edit: This sounds as if I had a wallhack. Damn. :P

Busted. Always tought you played a little bit funny on gathers :p

Just kidding m8 :)

Dghelneshi

I actually accidentally made a wallhack during Insight development where I still had the UI up when I joined a team: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE1mFcl8Y74" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE1mFcl8Y74</a>

It required server side modification though, so not really a good one. :P
