Automap in HUD !!!

[Martix]

As the title says, it is possible to do this in doom ?

[NeuralStunner]

No.

It was possible before, AFADoomer actually wrote the code, but it took too long to get added, then he lost the source. :(

There is a very old version located here: http://www.afadoomer.com/files/ZDoom%20 ... tomMap.zip

I assume it would work if updated to the latest code, but it's probably not the best implementation.

I thought you could do this with a camera texture in ACS? For some reason i remember Solarsnowfall pulling this off.

you could do it with a cameratexture, you'd need a prerendered map though.

[Nash]

With prerendered maps, you can't rotate the map which some people prefer...

[Isle]

well if it's gzdoom only you could put it on the floor and aim the camera down. you COULD render it by hand but you'd have to put all the vertex coordinates in a big array by hand.

[Nash]

You mean, an automap/linedef renderer written in ACS? Sounds crazy. o_O

(Perhaps a program can be written to extract the vertex data from the UDMF map and output it as array data to be plugged into the ACS)

I'm wanting to do one like this:

Is it possible?

Your question has already been answered, multiple times...

What you could do, is make a small scale replica of the map, with the ceilings removed, and put the camera actor high up.

Someone suggested that already. Also this would only work in GZDoom.
