There were some clipping issues at C12 (invisible walls).

I think he means that they will have to redo the minimap sprite in Photoshop, every time they update the map, whereas with any other piece of text, they just have to change a few words.

just what we needed.
i hope they can somehow take the second one out for cal.
Finally an end to the server crashing.

/retry and f1/f2 is faster.
This was one of the fixes in the first changelog I think ?
As I said in the CM forum, this is a decidedly smaller patch, which is why we didn't do a frontpage announcement about it. The main reasons for the release were the map updates and the cloaking cooldown, both of which we'd very much like to have tested on as large a scale as possible.
C4t, Duo, I apologize for stealing those three seconds of your precious time, but I'd argue that it'd take longer to reconnect to a griefed server, anyway <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Its the vents and I cleaned up all of the stuff that you see on the default minimap but is wrong for one reason or another, usually because its detail work that you can see but not touch, or the area is under water. (Using Lost as an example take a look at that spot south of Eternal Reqium, but north of External Overlook. Normally the minimap displays the architecture that you can see from outside the windows, but you can't ever actually get to).
They aren't labeled for one really big reason (and a whole ton of little ones), mainly I can't find a stylistic approach that I like for the labelling. I've seen lots of different sets that have been labeled but I've never found one that I personally like. So I did the technical part (cleaning them up and indicating the vents) and I assume that, as before, people who are interesting in labeling them will do so.

If the names were included in the minimap, the minimaps would have to be changed for each language which would be a lot of work. All the other game text is stored in a text file so for localization, you have one place to translate all the text.

I'm in charge of the spanish translation (the localization of NS is a project that seems to be dead...) and we didn't translate locations or "important" gameplay elements for communication reasons.
Now, Ominous kismet's translation would be "Siniestro destino"... or something
Exactly what i thought.
So, does that mean minimaps can have proper labels?
