Maybe let us customize the placement and size, like Lorgan did with the showPing plugin?

[[FR]YB]

I'd like it if you could make the map more medic-friendly.

I don't understand what you mean by "medic-friendly". I find it handy the way it already is. Could you provide a picture of what you would like the minimap to look like? (MSPaint allowed )

Anyway, I made a new version after reading your comments. Only two things new this time, see spoiler below.
v1.3.1 is now available, download the gml file from this post, as usual, put it in your Plugins folder, enjoy, etc.

(click to show/hide)

the  bubble will show the sentry's position regardless of whether it is within the minimap's box.

Fixed

[...] better placement. So that if I'm in the middle of an intense match I don't have to look over to the corner.

Maybe let us customize the placement and size, like Lorgan did with the showPing plugin?

Added a Lorgan-style placement customization (not copied at all, I'm quite proud of it ) . Still, the size has to be set in plugin options.

Awesome, will use.

Could you make a "Max size" option, because atm mapvoting or dirtbowl take up my screen.

[[FR]YB]

Could you make a "Max size" option, because atm mapvoting or dirtbowl take up my screen.

Well the max size actually is the minimap size in the plugin menu

The problem is that maps are not squares. The plugin allocates a <mapSize> pixel large square, and then the map is scaled to fit that square. Problem is, when you set your minimap to have it working when on truefort, it might cause display issues when on dirtbowl (see image in the spoiler below)

(click to show/hide)

What I could do is allocating a rectangle instead of a square. I'll certainly make it as customizable as Lorgan's showPing so you fellows will be happy
Well, expect a v1.3.2 soon

[Phantom Brave]

you could always make it scrollable

[[FR]YB]

There, I slightly changed the file so now the minimap's space is a rectangle instead of a square. You can select its position and its size by clicking "Select minimap position and size", then two points on your screen.

I don't think this deserves to be called 1.3.2 because there's a single change. But I don't want to call it 1.3.1 nor 1.3.1.1, what should I do?

you could always make it scrollable

Zooming (default: 'R') makes the minimap scroll, it's just centered on your character. What did you mean exactly?
How many times did you change your profile picture this week wareya omg

[Phantom Brave]

I meant being able to scroll it inside of its rectangle
like if you could force it to expand to one dimension and scroll along the other

[Catman]

It'd be nice if the space we get to see the map in was consistent, so the zoom mode could display just as much as it would in a taller map.

[Lorgan]

i'm assuming it's your plugin that's doing this:

Code: [Select]

ERROR in
action number 1
of Draw Event
for object __newobject815:

Error in code at line 535:
    if(genRed.x/6 < l || genRed.x/6 > l + bgPartWidth || genRed.y/6 < t || genRed.y/6 > t + bgPartHeight) {
                ^

(happens once when the generator gets destroyed)

You basically fixed it. While healing his team, a medic usually doesn't want to take his focus off where his teammates are. Having to look at the corner makes him do that.

It'd be nice if you could make an option so that if you were healing someone, the map would appear right underneath the "Healing..." window and stay for a second once you've stopped.

how about the colours of teammates' dots change according to their health (like green for full, yellow for med and red for low) and maybe when teammates are being attacked dots should flash?
anyways good work, will try this right after I post =)

[Catman]

Sentry bubbles appear outside of the map space.

I was also gonna ask if you could implement fixed minimap sizes, because the box is much larger on maps like dustbowl and that means you see more whilst zoomed in whereas smaller maps constrict what you can see when zoomed.

[[FR]YB]

Okay it's been a while since I updated that thing, and when I tried to modify it I realized that I did tons of mistakes, generally bad coding (and not just messy coding :p )

So I changed almost everything, but especially two points:
 - the plugin controller now collects the objects to displays in the step event, and only draws them in the draw event (which is the way it should have been the whole time)
 - the old, unique file has been split into multiple files that were put in a folder

Hopefully this will make the code clearer and the bugs rarer.

I added a few features such as scrolling even when not zooming (see how it works in game) and opacity setting.

As usual, feedback and/or bug reports are welcome.

Install
 - Download the attached minimap_v2.zip file
 - Extract it in your Plugins folder
 - You should see "minimap_v2.gml" and a folder called "minimap" containing 6 .gml files.

Note that the plugin will no longer work and even crash your game if you remove the minimap sub-folder without removing the minimap_v2.gml file

maybe when teammates are being attacked dots should flash?

Nope, I think it gives too much information

I erased my previous post and reposted this because I fixed a couple bugs and didn't want to double-post. Is this better?

BEST MOD EVAH!

when you're so bored you start caring about things that happen in gg2 part 2

THE LATEST VERSION OF GG2 (2.8.0) SEEMS TO NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE MINIMAP ANYMORE

Due to changes related to background drawing, I suppose
I'll look into it and post a fix as soon as I can

It's actually a really easy fix, paralass means you have not 1 but 8 backgrounds so replace

Code: [Select]

draw_background_part_ext(background_index[0], l, t, bgPartWidth, bgPartHeight, mapx, mapy, zoomscale, zoomscale, c_black, global.yb_minimap_alpha / 100 * 0.4);
draw_background_part_ext(background_index[0], l, t, bgPartWidth, bgPartHeight, mapx, mapy, zoomscale, zoomscale, c_white, global.yb_minimap_alpha / 100 * 0.7);

with

Code: [Select]

for (i = 0; i <= 7; i += 1)
{
    if (background_index[i] != -1)
    {
        draw_background_part_ext(background_index[i], l, t, bgPartWidth, bgPartHeight, mapx, mapy, zoomscale, zoomscale, c_black, global.yb_minimap_alpha / 100 * 0.4);
        draw_background_part_ext(background_index[i], l, t, bgPartWidth, bgPartHeight, mapx, mapy, zoomscale, zoomscale, c_white, global.yb_minimap_alpha / 100 * 0.7);
    }
}
