Interface Minimap

This library lets you define your minimaps and then easily activate and deactivate them! No changes to your interface file required!

Want to have two minimaps open at the same time? No problem! Want 300? Even better!

The implementation is feature-rich and offers many ways to customize your minimap. Put a background image behind your minimap, surround it in an image-based frame, place static markers over it, and add extra-large landmark icons to the map!

Easily position, size, and anchor the minimap. Built-in minimap image generator creates maps for you, or you can use a pregenerated image.


Credits:
The included demo uses icons from Karnlor's Public Graphic Resource and a map image from World of Warcraft.

Update History:

Version 2 (7/30/11)

Implemented dc_MinimapPrefix for generated interface control names

Set dc_GenerateMinimap() to run in the background

Added dc_MinimapState and dc_MinimapPriority for map generation to all atoms, instead of just turfs

Version 1 (8/29/10)

Note: Because resolutionX/Y were renamed, if you altered them in any way you will need to update them to scaleX/Y

Note: scaleX/Y added to the paremeters of dc_Minimap/New(). If you passed parameters by position instead of name, you may have to fix them.

resolutionX and Y renamed to scaleX and Y

Can now set imageWidth/Height OR scaleX/Y

hideEdges property added to dc_Minimap which prevents the Minimap from showing the area beyond its edges

Cleaned up comments in MiniMap.dm

DEMO: IslandSOS Minimap now uses scaleX/Y instead of imageWidth/Height

DEMO: Made Runners not dense

DEMO: Shifted Worldmap Minimap position so padded border was not hidden
