kMinimap - Universal minimap mod

[kodi]

Description

kMinimap attempts to recreate the automap in ZScript, allowing it to draw the minimap anywhere on the screen. It should work with any other mods.

CVars:

user bool ATMP_MapRotates = false;
Toggles whether the map or the player indicator arrow rotates.

user bool ATMP_MapBackground = true;
Toggles the flat color behind the lines on and off.

user bool ATMP_EnableMap = true;
Toggles the entire thing on and off.

user int ATMP_MapX = 100;
Left edge position of map on screen.

user int ATMP_MapY = 100;
Top edge position of map on screen.

user int ATMP_MapSize = 200;
Height and width in pixels.

user float ATMP_MapScale = 0.5;
Scale of map within box. "Zoom" if you will.

user float ATMP_BackgroundAlpha = 1.0;
Alpha of flat color background.

user float ATMP_MapAlpha = 1.0;
Alpha of lines and player indicator.[/list]

Issues:

• Does not work with minimap presets (i.e classic doom), only custom full screen automap colors set from the GZDoom automap menu.
• Colors aren't completely right.
• Shows secret door lines when it shouldn't.
• Performance could be further improved.

Wow! That is amazingly cool. Nice work!

[Beed28]

Neat!

Another issue I found is that things don't show up if you have the 'iddt' cheat active or have a scanner powerup item.

[Awez]

So you're that guy on vr! Excellent work, this is an awesome mod. I'm surprised this hasn't been made sooner.

[saegiru]

Wow, this looks super promising. Looking forward to seeing what you can do with it!

[BradmanX]

The MapY and MapX commands don't seem to work
Also the mapscale seems to crash the VM if you modify it
Atleast in GZD 4.1.2, I don't know about any other version.

Thanks for the report, I'll look into it as soon as possible. Have only tested up until 4.1.0.
Gotta be an issue with how I initialize the cvar structs or something.

Doesn't seem to work for me.

Doesn't seem to work for me.

What specifically doesn't work about it? Can you give more detail?

This sort of thing would be great to have built-in. I'm constantly pulling up the automap but it's too intrusive to leave on. Off to the side is perfect much like how I used to play Diablo II.
- Adjusting the map position and scale does seem to work, was that just because you updated it?
- The player arrow doesn't display, this is probably just LZDoom-related though. I just hacked around it and made it use line drawing instead of shape. Similarly, the background can't be faded.

I just want to bump this topic to say thank you for this mod. You have almost allowed me to make my perfect vision of the classic hud.

I hope you continue with this mod, fixing up the secret areas being exposed early. If I can make one suggestion if possible, can the width and height of the map be separated? Ideally I would like the map to be wider to fill out more un-used space.

Keep up the great work!

[NightFright]

The space waste with a square shape is indeed an issue. Other than that, it looks like a neat implementation. Just don't know how I feel about the level stats next to the ammo counter. Can be confusing to keep both displays apart at first glance. Maybe looks more balanced if level stats and automap were switched, but I guess it's up to personal taste.

Very handy on VR, saves one button for remap on Oculus Touch controller, to bad, map not rotate with the player for easier navigation but kudos for idea

[aargh]

Do you plan developing this mod anymore? If not, would you allow other to use it as a base for future mods?

[kodi]

I'm planning on updating it soon! You can use it for your own needs, but I suggest you wait for the update which will probably have some much-needed cleanup.
Also, CD-Roman: Set ATMP_MapRotates to True in the console
