<div class="IPBDescription">Need some help...</div> I've been working on improving the minimap/hud, and I ran into an issue. I want to put a "you are here" identification sprite on the minimap. I figured that I could "cheat" and just edit the mainhud.spr file, and put a nice indicator. Well, I did that. but I ran into an issue. the indicatore only shows up if there's no minimap; the Minimap is drawing itself over the mainhud.spr sprite! Anyone have any idea on how to change this? Below's a Screenie..... (excuse the poor quality...)

    Cough... um... why was it hard to figure out the center of the map before?

    Regardless, I have no idea.

    Well... will u dissagree with me that it's nicer to be able to visually "see" where u R instead of having the minimap scroll? I think that it'd add more functionality to it, myself.

    And I've edited the minimaps.. to no avail.

    No idea, but when you've got it working (if servers don't disable it by forcing file consistency) I'd use it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well, I'm working on it... I'm also trying to find a nice way to do minimaps... but, well, I'm not sure about that one either.... they seem to be the issue, actually.... *shrugs* 5 hours, and I'm still nowhere.... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->.... wth, I'm going to attach the file, for those who are interested, save it in u're ../ns/sprites/ file, to replace mainhud.spr.....

    Maybe some PT/Mod god might find it useful?

    I think its a coding issue you can't resolve. The draw process (I think) is HUD -> MINIMAP, so Flayra would need to change that to get it to work it seems.
