yeah, that would be cool, but it's really up to the level designer

Nemesis_Zero

It's pretty much at the mappers discretion. Tommy had a great idea there, but honestly, I don't think it'll be too necessary once the marine map has been fixed.

I like the tranith map.
its done with 4 large textures using a large part of the texture limit.

maybe i will add a holograpic rotating 3d screen of my map in the RR with simple colors (no detailed textures) , hive, CC and res positions.

That'd be quite a sight to see. :)
Something like the map room in Halo's <i>The Silent Cartographer</i>?

I`ve started triing to make a holo-minimap and it works fine...
each "level" is drawn absolutely flat and in different color for more overview.
its rotating around the z-axis, dissorts and flickers fine.
i dont want to give it more detail, apart from showing res-locations, for r_speeds.
Textures can be much better of course, its not complete because the map could change... its just a test.

- vertical maps are better than maps on the bottom, even if they are 3d <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

MMM, purdy. You make your country proud!

Sniper_Chance

That looks remniscent of the Map Overview Spec mode in CS and TFC.

1. It's those shiny things over angels heads
2. It's a game for the X-box ( soon PC ) which is what I think he's refering to

Wheezer

How about making it interlaced for a more computerish feel?
(not sure if that's the correct term, but what I mean is draw only every other line)

Add res, your position and teammates position to the marine map and it does just fine. But the 3d map does look cool just needs a toggle key (on/off) <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
