Hi, I made a minimap, imported it through the world editor by selecting the terrainblock and assigning the minimap. It's working but I have two issues : 1 - it's not at the same location as the terrain. That was the occasion for me to see that I forgot to put the terrain at [0,0,Z] before populating it with things. I looked around in the files but I can't seem to find how to indicate a position for the minimap. Can I do that or do I need to move everything back at [0,0,Z] for the minimap to fit the terrain ? 2 - my minimap have coloured roads. But if I make "drivability"=1 for my decal roads, game draw them on top of the minimap, thus hiding roads colouration. Can I disable that and still have roads drivability at 1 ? Thank you !
IIRC the minimap must be the same size of the terrain (so if terrain is 4096x4096, so should be your minimap image. The terrain location should not matter AFAIK. You cannot hide roads that have drivability different from 0
Thanks for the answer, well they are the same size. In fact east and west sides are on spot. It's shifted north for some reason... I'd say roughly a bit more than a third of it is north of the terrain. And ok for the "drivable" roads, thanks.
squareSize is basically scaling the heightmap. 1 means that 1px = 1m square side 2 means that 1px = 2m square size (so you end up with a terrain double the size) And so on. This should affect the alignment of the minimap to the terrain
Thank you Nadeox1, This I got, hence the 1.953125 for my 4096*4096 heightmap to have a 8km*8km terrain. And that it does, but why ? Can I fix it ? If I check official maps that have a squareSize value different than 1, I found : Automation Test Track (squareSize = 0.5) : heightmap is 4096 and minimap is 4096 pixels Hiroshi Raceway (squareSize = 0.75) : heightmap is 2048 pixels and minimap is 1024 pixels Utah (squareSize = 0.5) : heightmap is 4096 and minimap is 1024 pixels So minimap apparently doesn't even have to be the same size as the terrain. But none of official maps have a squareSize above 1, I'm checking mod to find one with squareSize>1 and with a minimap. I didn't find one yet.
I'm not entirely sure about that, because I haven't touched minimaps in a while. Can you send me your level via PM so that I can check what's happening?
Yep, sure thing. I'll do that as soon as I finished cleaning it from unused things (dae, textures,...). I'm cleaning it to be sure it's not caused by a leftover from the map folder I copied to start this... --- Post updated --- Do you prefer having it "packaged" or do I just zip the folder in my documents folder ?
