Changes 99-semi:

- Fixed the python parts for 0.9.9.

- Added the changed Swamp minimap.

 

Known Issues: I had no time to include the flash changes for the two new dumbination modes, so it might be crashing if you try to play those with this 99-semi version. Obviously I have no way to test this until its too late. (Great idea btw. allowing testing of the new modes only on the first day of CT. *slowclap@wargaming*)

.  

I currently have no reliable way of tracking this thread, until the forum hiccup regarding some of my threads is resolved.

 

If you want to give feedback or bugreports, please do so through the contact page on my website.

- Disabled the last known position markers in Mmap.xml by default for now to prevent any sanctions due to unknown WG policies regarding them. (Activate them to your own conscience in Mmap.xml)

- Added lastposcolor option to Mmap.xml to set the color of the last known position marker.

- Added 100m square legend display to all standard size maps.
Changes of 8.4e:
- Fixed the double correction on Port map, leading to insane minimap element sizes.

- Corrected the element sizes for Port which has 830m instead of wiki stated 800m.

- Added the 500m dynamic drawing distance box.
- Added new style tags to configure the circle, drawdistbox and laser. (line, dots, dashed)
- Added a "mask" style filter for the drawing box as a special optical treat. I am experimenting with this, so let me know if you notice anything unusual with this.
Changes of 8.3_f release:
- Fixed the bug causing the 50m X-ray circle to be colored like the big circle. They can be colored independently now.
Changes of 8.3_e release:
- Added 50m X-ray circle around your tank, with customizeable alpha and color.

Added option to disable tank names based on wheter tank is ally, enemy or platoon member.
Added option to display player names instead of tank names.
Added option to display text next to icons only on big or smallmap.

Enabled autosize of textfields, so there will be no cutting with increased scale/fontsize.
Changes of 8.3 Release:
Major rework of Minimap functionality:
Functionality extensions include the display of enlarged centered minimap by holding CTRL button, as well as the display of tanknames next to the icons on the map and custom sized minimap icons.
I also added a 445m circle that is accurate on all maps and a customizeable laser line.
In res_mods you find a configuration file named Mmap.xml for these features.
You find details about this configuration file inside the comments of Mmap.xml
Other customization Options:
- If you want to have the normal ingame minimaps instead of the HD ones, just delete the spaces folder from this mod.
- If you want normal icons instead of the tier dependant new ones, set
True
in gui_settings.xml (gui folder of this mod) to False.

Reduced foreground prominence of the laser.

Change of 8.0 Release:
Remade the reworked maps: Himmelsdorf, Mines, Karelia, Lakeville, Komarin, Sand River, Fjords, Mountain Pass, Arctic Region and Westfield.
Minimap Resolution for those is now 1152x1152px. (Looking good! )
Change of 8.0 wrk Release:
Just updated the Minimap.swf to 8.0. I have trouble getting the settings to shoot the changed maps with the new renderer. Takes a bit longer than expected to get it right.

Kudos to you sir

[ViktorKitov]

Cool skins

[Boom_Box]

Nice work locastan. Can you get onto the test server and update for the two new maps? I've been using your original hi-res source for ATC images and also like these mini-maps.

For those of you who want better ATC resolution, feel free to use this gamepack ID: ZV8IE3 - images courtesy of locastan, hosted from Netherlands.


ed.

Created a new game pack (import ID: 3ETBXC) for 7.2 and included all of the camera angles. There are 282 images in the set, along with 10 symbols for representing the various tank classes.

If anyone just wants to browse the images they can be found here: http://mywotmaps.imgur.com

[ArtofWars]

Loca is there anyway to make the grid lines a little more bolder?

[guguloi]

Respect man. http://forum.worldof...le_honoring.gif

I thought about it, but as you still need two PCs to get into a training room, setting up two test installations on different PCs that are useless once 7.2 goes to masses is not worth the time consumed. I will get right down to it as soon as 7.2 gets out ofc.

I think there are some minimap style mods out there to do that. I found this per google, but I think there are more:
http://www.guildport...TopicID=9780862

You can use any of those, as the grid is only layered above the minimaps.


On topic: I just noticed I forgot to make Fishermans Bay. Will correct that and update the Mod asap. Sorry for the inconvenience.  

FIXED. Plz redownload the package.

[ArtofWars]

I already had that mod enabled but not the SR version lol  

[locastan]

Updated to work with 7.1.1.

[Karpatia]

Thank you

Just one question, does this mode recognizes platoon mates on mini map?

[locastan]

Why shouldn't it? It only changes the image in the background of your minimap to a more accurate map. All other things are unchanged and as they appear normally ingame. But if you don't see your mate in orange on the normal minimap, then you won't see him with this either. In this case I suggest you check if anything went wrong with your wot installation.

[guguloi]

Yup, my mates are fine and orange on the minimap. But I must admit that I don't see them anymore when they're dead.

Trolololol... XD.

Yes ofc. dead tanks do not show on the minimap.  

[locastan]

I just did the minimaps for the version 7.2, so we have them ready when it goes live in a few weeks. I was worried that I would not be able to them because of the client changes but I nailed it.  

If anyone wants to take them for a spin on the 7.2 Common test server take this mod:

http://www.mediafire...4tfwszxuevg56wn

Let me know if you notice something wrong or strange about them.

I was only asking because a while ago I downloaded a very nice animated mini map mod, but it failed to show platoon mates in different colour then others and it bothered me because I'm used to seeing them in orange.
Very nice mod.

[Orree]

Very nice work, bud.  Thanks!

Very nice mod.

Minimap animated to give better view of where you're tank is looking removes the platoon colors, this mod doesn't though

i don't get it. what should that mod bring? the minimap is much too big.

it's a higher res map so you can see things alot better, i like my map big so i can see what's where, it's very helpful for SPG play too..

[Nollauno]

Played on 7.2 with your revised maps and see no problems at the moment but much better! Have just got the sights to sort out then im back to normal when 7.2 comes out.
