Suggestion: Bring back the 2D map

[RustiestSpoon]

Is it possible to bring back the old 2D map? I found it to be easier to use when I'm looking for players in a zone.

Hello, this plugin does not and never had a 2D map. You're likely thinking about another plugin.

However I have been interested in starting a basic 2d radar for fun. Already put some stuff together for it, but that will take some time I presume to get right.

Ahh, ok, sorry about that. There was a plugin in AKU API 7 called Radar which had all of these functions, but instead of being a 3D map showed icons on a 2D map much like something like Boss Mod. It's obviously super dead now and I came across this one and assumed they were the same.

No problem, I've been working a bit on a 2D radar as a new feature. Will probably be pretty basic and just need to figure out some rendering details then I can get a basic version out. Wont make promises since I am doing this in my free time but might see that soon!

Wow such spice. Still in progress but got camera rotation and displaying mobs working with some refactors.

Let me know if you have a picture or something from the previous plugin I can use as a basis for the UX of it.

[RustiestSpoon]

For sure, I just remember small + for player characters with options for names and coords.

Finally got a basic version of this working. Only displays dots at the moment and is loosely based off the settings of a mob/custom config. Still planning on adding a cross along with a name display to the 2d radar - with coords being an option, but wanted to get a basic version out first. Let me know what you think

[RustiestSpoon]

Tried it out tonight and it works very very well!

It's a really nice addition. Something I'd like to see if there's a version that could lock north to up, with a FOV cone, kinda like what Minion has. If it doesn't exist already and I didn't see it. :P

[KangasZ]

Yeah both of those should be pretty easy to implement. Ill get on it soon!

[KangasZ]

Player cone, camera cone, and locking the rotation to north have all been added. The size/radius of the cones cannot currently be adjusted, and similarly the angle cannot be adjusted. These are features coming soon(tm). Wanted to get a working prototype out for you to play with.
