Placing Points on the mini map

Post by Spawn_Retard »

Is this possible?

it would make pointing out enemies to allies alot faster than having to scroll over there and doing it.

Have you actually tried this? Because it's already in the engine, I think.

What holding ¬and middle mouse button on the mini map shows and places a point?

I hate it when all it does is do a zoom in box to where the point is located.

because if your not looking you miss it.

You need to re-read your posts, no one knows exactly what feature you are requesting as your description is very ambiguous and you're throwing insults at people for no good reason.

Thanks for finally hinting at what you're actually talking about. :P

You know what, I think I could whip up a user widget really quick for this. Might do something WC3 style-ish.

The minimap is sort of small to have points on it... I think this is why the devs didnt made it this way from the beggining :)

I already did that along with having Spring bleep out a message when shit enters los. However, 90% of the time people did NOT appreciate me using points to track units, even for a limited selection like COMs or whatnot, so I never released it, nor continued to work on it.
