Minimap

Warfare · October 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">As taken from the cheatcodes thread</div>Flayra mentioned this in the cheatcode thread:
buildminimap - Generates a new minimap. Very CPU intensive. Saved in the ns/sprites/minimaps directory.

What exactly is the minimap? The map to the bottom left in commandermode? Upper right of marinemode?
Can I alter the minimap with a sprite editor and some photoshop magic and add things to it that could be useful for my clan and myself?

Yup, you surely can. I assume it will stay this way until somehow it can be exploited.

its used for the mapper to make for their maps so you will be able to see them in game

sorry i'm not exactly getting what your saying so what can be done with minimap?

Sgt_X · October 2002

If you don't do this then the sprite that displays in the marine and commanders huds won't be displayed. This command makes the minimap.

Mr_Radical_Ed · October 2002

I don't believe everyone needs to use this feature. Especially since its only avalable when cheats are enabled. Maps have this included already

Sgt_X · October 2002

Exactly. If you're not a mapper you can be blissly ignorant of this command. Once you have your map completed you run it and then include the sprite generated in your download zip or however you're distributing your map.
