The tech/power/res points aren't showing up on the map in the rooms they are suppose to be in, but rather they are being shown outside.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I also used LaunchMap to compile it, like it says in Mendasp's guide http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/119239/one-click-map-testing-within-spark/p1

    Yeah, i had the same problem months ago... :D

    Dont create your own minimap_extends, use one from the official maps (i used summit minimap_extends).
    So delete your own minimap_extends and copy-paste the minimap_extends from summit into your map.
    After that just move the minimap_extends around your map until all areas are covered inside, but dont rescale it!

    Why is this happening ?

    Because the minimap_extends needs a specific scaling otherwise its messed up like this.

    Hope this helps.

    EDIT:
    maybe its easier if you dont delete your own minimap_extends and just use the scaling...
    summit - minimap_extends - scaling:
    x: 414.37 <- same
    y: 269.45
    z: 414.37 <- same

    veil - minimap_extends - scaling:
    x: 424.56 <- same
    y: 151.13
    z: 424.56 <- same

    Looks like the x & z scaling needs to be the same.

    Yes. Minimap Extends needs to be square.

    You can create your own minimap extents perfectly fine, just make it a square..

    Thank you, didn't know it had to be square.
    The minimap is working fine now.
    :D
