<div class="IPBDescription">If you want NS1 style minimaps, look this ;)</div>Hi!
Im just make NS1 style minimaps for Alien/marine commander :)
Some ppl, say that new minimaps are bad, and old NS1 work better in game :P So now you can try old style :)
This is not perfect, but i think those maps will look and work better for commanders now :)
(only ns2_tram and ns2_rockdown minimaps)

To 'instal' this, you need to pastle this 2 *.tga files to your "...\Steam\steamapps\common\natural selection 2\ns2\maps\overviews" folder. And remember to make copy of original minimaps! :p

yes, minimaps work fine, i test them ofc ;P
yeah, i saw, they say they will rework minimaps, but why we must wait, if we can have little better right now? :>

Great job!
i do tend to get lost at times on tram maps =p
Nice and central location and stuffs...
I mean from a usability point of view, in no way is the textures of the room relevant to the commander AND you added the names of the rooms! lol
(how about some little lua client mod to get that map to the marine players now :D)
Although, just want to mention that the new minimap has already been mostly implemented by our programmer, Brian, and I was checking it out on his computer earlier today. Its stripped down, NS1 style, easy to see and should have all the necessary information. Seemed pretty far along to me, so I'd expect it in the next patch or the one after.

I started drawing new minimaps too, but then lost the file by a inkscape crash..
And now we read that they will even be generated automaticaly. how great is that?

Well for the next 3 or 4 days we get to play around with good looking minimaps.
"indirect push to release 160 on time :P"
Anyway, my maps will have only 3 more days live? ;D hehe
But good that UWe will make original ns1 style mmaps ;)

Only commander minimaps, like i say in beggining... i'm not a programmer, so i can't do this ;P

The 256x256 isn't large enough anyways I think
