Minimap with damage alerts only

Postby Wakke » 13 Jan 2013, 05:44

I think an option for the minimap to only show red blips indicating where you receive damage, and nothing else, would be sweet. Would this be doable code wise?

Why use a mini map, when you can zoom out? :twisted:

I have an UI mode that disable the minimap when zoomed out, and re-enabling it if zoomed it. Quite practical.

That sounds really practical, do you mind sharing it?

It's not really meant to be distributed. Was for my use only.
ie. You won't be able to disable minimap anymore, and there is no setting for changing that.
