Title: I have a minimap if anyone needs one
Post by: Fallen Angel on December 08, 2007, 03:58:20 AM
Ok so idk if this goas here but Ive been looking for a minimap script for a little bit. But I figured out how to make one without a Script.  Ok so Here are the steps to doing it
====Steps to no Script MiniMap====
STEP 1: Ok first you have to Make your map then take a Screen Shot of it.
STEP 2: If you dont know how to take a screen shot heres how, press print screen then open your Paint
program and got Edit Past and it will appear Delete all the extra stuff like the window around
your map use "Streach/Skew"
in Image make it smaller till it is around "150x123" then save it in your "My Pictures file
(or wherever you whant it daosn't really matter were you save as long as you remember were
you saved it) then open rmxp and go into "Resource Manager" and go into picturs and import you
pic of your map.
STEP 3: Make an Event set it to start at Paralell Process. go to "Insert" and click on "Show Picture"
it should be in second colume top right And open you picture make so it shows at top left corner and
set the Opacity to "150" and click on "Ok" and test it, it should work Injoy!  :lol:
========================================================================================

The MiniMap will show you on it  or were you moving it pretty much just displays you map  that you made so you can see the hole map while your playing I dont know if Huge maps will work right or not you'll have to test it for yourself so dont ask me plz Cause idk I usaully Make small or medium maps Let me know if there is a problem  :)

Right, but can some1 PLEASE find a SCRIPT for a minimap?? Still good idea though, but I'd prefer a more advanced minimap, where "people" move and stuff... I put a request in the script requests for it, so plz tell me there if you get anything like that... http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,23333.0.html (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,23333.0.html)

Hmm...  :-\ I might, but I dunno, I'm not very experienced with scripting and variables and that... is it really not possible to create one just with scripts and (if you want) variables? I don't really want to go into paint every time I want to create a new minimap, even though I might not need it with your script (I just skimmed through it, but I'll take a better look later when I get onto my own CPU... though I should prolly have posted this under your topic...  :-[ ::) :) apart from that, thx for it... I'll have a look...
