Minimap

Hello everyone. I was wondering if its possible to move the Minimap down to the bottom rightside of the screen, change its shape and give it a different texture than the bigger map when you press M. One more question, the minimap can't be dynamic right?

Thanks

as far as i know you cant modify any existing hudelements thus you cant modify the minimap in any way. (except for changing the maptexture of course).
to the second quuestion: what do you understand under "dynamic"? if you mean having things that disappear or appear after a certain event or something similiar, it could be possible. you could make a prop with a custom maptexture like the shieldgenerator on hoth and destroy or spawn it within the battle.

I mean the Minimap has to be static and it can't be Animated like this - http://gi98.photobucket.com/groups/l271 ... darth_.gif

no, but you could attempt to put a new HUD-element with this animation/scrolling in front of the minimap. however the symbols on the map couldnt blink like that.

Is it possible to change the shape of the player markers on the minimap (the ones where you see an enemy on the minimap, theres a triangle shaped icon)

Yes, that's quite possible. Those textyres are defined at some level in a unit's odf.

EDIT - For some reason I find "textyres" so amusing I'm keeping that typo.

Worked like a charm, thanks
