lining up minmaps
Does anyone have any shortcuts to lining up a minimap properly in game besides just trial and error (munge and play then munge again)?

Re: lining up minmaps
How are you even setting up your minimap? If you create a mapbounds region and use an orthographic shot as a template, it's just about perfectly lined up ingame - always.

Re: lining up minmaps
i'm using a mapbounds but then i'm using the screenshot command in ze
edit: but i'm doing it in perspective view not orthographic
in orthographic, should I line up the mapbounds region with the edges of ze?

Re: lining up minmaps
If your screenshot is, like I said above, an orthographic shot, all you have to do is make the edges of your picture the edges of your mapbounds. Make nothing viewable except for props and regions, and then you've got the outline to line it up to. I rarely - if ever - have to fix alignment of the map if I do that.YaNkFaN wrote:i'm using a mapbounds but then i'm using the screenshot command in ze
