New minimap mode

Post by Dwarden »

I got idea for new minimap mode :

- when enabled it will show ALL enemy teams units as RED, own units as GREEN and friendly units as BRIGHT BLUE ...

of course ability to switch between this minimap mode and actual one (where You see dots on minimap / player color)

Hmm, probably wouldn't be too hard if one adapted the code that changes selected units' dots to white when you select them...

I was actually thinking that exact thing the other day! All you need is a toggle button somewhere on the keyboard. It would be so handy. If it also toggles the unit colours, that would be even better. Mabey a 3-4 state toggle.
  • Toggle 1 - Normal Colours
  • Toggle 2 - Minimap colours
  • Toggle 3 - Minimap and Normal View
  • Toggle 4 - Normal View
This would be very handy for large battles, you can see where your units are really needed.

Couldn't this tie in with the Group AI somehow? It just feels like it should...
