What would you rather have: a map dialog box, or the map in a corner?

Map dialog box
Map in corner
Map that shows top-down pixels, but is top-down

Author Topic: Minimap addon  (Read 5156 times)

The minimap. It's just like Minecraft where you get a mod to show a minimap at the top-right corner of you game screen. Could someone make a mod for this? If someone does, it should be able to have the following:

-Change the corner of the map's position
-Enable/disable the map
-Having all the bricks in the map
-Having the player have an arrow and other players with a small arrow, and if it is in teams, the arrows for other players are their team color.
-Having player names at the bottom of their arrow.
-Finally, having the user's arrow big, in the middle of the minimap, and is red, no matter what.
There. That, up there (^^^) is what the mod should be.
Could someone, at least SOMEONE, make the mod?
PS: the player who made the mod and tested it to make sure it works to post the link in their own message.
That would be GREAT if you did it.

Nitramtj made an online JS one.

it was private.

It's probably possible.

Alter the rear-view mirror add-on.

That's not how it works.

The problem with creating an add-on like this is that Blockland has no height limit, like Minecraft does. You can go an infinite distance in any direction, including upwards. Editing the rear-view mirror mod might work, but it's kind of a monday-rigged design to do something like that.

if it were truly a replica of the MC mod, then it wouldn't be modifying the view at all
it would be creating a topdown image of pixels, each one representing a stud

so this should be doable, even if you have to do something silly like save the build somehow through a script (or get rendered bricks) and convert them to a small image which is then rendered with a triangle/player marker in the center

I remember the old speedometer mod looped through all the bricks, so this should be possible without the saving (bricks was unintentional, it was looking for players in all the datablocks)

That's not how it works.
Wouldn't you just change the camera angle and move the camera GUI thing to a different location.

At this point you're not very credible.

It might be easier to use images. Have a minimap image, put it in config/minimap, then select it in-game.

pretty sure that would be a server mod then?
I don't think the client can change their camera angle to anything but backwards

Then you have a camera rendering the stuff below your feet. What's the point?

pretty sure he also meant move it up at the same time
