How can i set Overlay-map opacity?

I find it distracting that the overlay map hides the view so much. I'd like to try different opacity values. Is this possible?

    also it makes the background hazy.
    Might aswell add the horrible alien vision making all walls buttugly.
    All these have been fixed with mods but uwe still cant put them into their game.

    Download the mod to remove the minimap blur to fix the haziness, there are some mods that make the maps see through and/or are detailed however they're all out of date :(

    I'm suprised. I thought in one of the NS2HD video's i saw the overlay-map with less opacity.

    If i install a mod for it, can i still play online?

    Yes, if it's blocked it will just be disabled, but I'm pretty sure the antiblur and minimap mods are whitelisted, just gotta find the right mods.

    Maybe i said it wrong, the map that appears when i press "c", for that one i would like to set opacity. Is there a mod for that?

    I've already answered that.

    None of the mods work or are bugged and indeed out of date. So since modders have given up i do hope the devs take this option in consideration for future updates.

    There is a mod called Pro maps that makes the map transparent. Not sure if it has been updated for docking. There is also a mod to remove the blur when opening minimap called Pewpews Minimap Blur Removal. Saunapack is another HUD revamp that you could try. There is also a server side mod called cHUD by Mendasp that every NS2 server operator should have installed and active.

    The problem with mods is that the default consistencyconfig.json (checks what files you're allowed have different to the server) block nearly all modifications of every file type in every folder location. Including the ui folder I believe. So you're going to run into problems on most servers getting the mods you want working.

    It would be so nice for the game as a whole if some of these UI mods could be picked up as part of the core game, like Jekt said cHUD is basically something that everyone should be using.
