[Request] Minimap for Maps

[Vandeliar]

Hello Community,

I need a Plugin to do a Minimap for Maps.

With just few options of the Pictures.

Options:

Turn ON/OFF the Minimap via Switch.

Picture 1: Border for the Background Minimap.

Picture 2: Picture of the Map

Picture 3: Arrow Picture for the Player

Zoom In/Out with small Buttons ( example for Touchscreen or Mouse )

And some coordinates options to fit the Screen and to change the Numbers of the Pictures as well.

Since i dont know how many Pictures i want to use on the Maps.

Is this possibly with the JS right now ??

Ah sample Picture, for what i look are in the attachment.

I ve looked into this and you can do it with variables. You don't need a plugin.

You can export the image of your maps into png files,

than you would have to manually add a border(which isnt very hard, just use a template. google is your friend)

Look for an arrow picture online that looks suitable.

draw the arrow in relative coordinates to your character on the minimap.

I actually am trying to get the same thing to work so Im looking into it now

Edit: That being said, a script might be a lot easier... I just realisedd it myself while I was trying to look for a solution

Well i need a Plugin because of the Map Picture.

I dont want a Scaled Picture from a 70x75 map.

I want to move the Picture ah bit with the Player's arrow picture. It will look like, the Player's Arrow Picture is always in the middle of the Minimap.

And because of that, ah Plugin makes more sense than to event this.

So why not give it a try ?

And also, how you manage it, to zoom in and zoom out with the mouse ?

I think with a Plugin, it looks very nice and takes less performance than a event.

Something along these lines, but than with a zoom function.

This is Pseudo Code though... I have no idea how to script call a variable...

Well thanks, i know how to do a minimap with events already.

But this isn't what iam looking for. Sorry Dude, but i think a Plugin is still a nice way to handle something like this^^

Im looking into how to setup the js... I have c++ experience but i havent got a clue about js

I am interested in the mini-map.  It is a pretty standard feature so a plugin would be great.

Things I would like to include as options:

darken areas not yet explored

show some standard mini-sprites for exits, quest items etc.

adjustable transparency of course

Just the usual stuff you see on a mini-map

yours

Looks like a cool feature to have in a game. 
 

I wonder if I should do this one. I might need it for my game.

Bump

Would be a nice script for all Rpg Mobile Games

Something like Zenonia has lol.

Something something you need images of the map apparently. If you have a good image of the map as a whole then its easy to do.
I don't think there is a way for the game to generate the images during gameplay.

I have made a plugins in development show casing my work so far.

 

[Vandeliar]

Well yeah, you need to make minimap pictures of your map.

But that isn't hard to make ^^.

*Bump*

Yep... I really feel the need for it...

There are multiple minimap plugins, already. I know at least 3 scripters, who've done one: SilverDash, Jeremy Cannady (2 posts above you) and myself. You can find Jeremy's and mine by clicking the links in our signatures.
