Minimaps

Post by Rippentuck »

Okay I'm trying to make a minimap and I have Fred's instructions in front of me, but I can't figure out how to zoom out in pausedfreelook, so I can take a satellite shot. Some help please! Thanks.

Also feel free to post any helpful tips on how to do this.

back after you have your screen shots.
Talking of screen-shots, could you release some of your map ?

Thanks Fred, I got it working. It figures the zoom buttons were the only two keys I didn't try. It took me a while but I've since made what I think is a very nice minimap, lol. Looks a lot like an actual satellite view of the battlefield, you can even see the terrain detail.

Leviathan, I thought of posting a screenshot of the minimap here (cause I liked it so much) but the map itself will probably be out one way or another by the end of this week (either Mod Battleweek or in the usual fashion). And rather than steal my own thunder, I just want to put it out all at once. I will say though, that I designed it intially as a "Battlefront classic" map, one which perhaps could have shipped with the game. Once it's out I may add new units and vehicles, but those are not the focus of the map -- the gameplay (by way of design) is the focus.

I've never seen someone mentioning this problem in any thread of this forum...
