Map Screen

Post by dgard20 »

Is it possible to have a magnifying glass when looking at the map screen. It is very hard seeing whos where locations, and movements. Just a thought. SOW is perfect

I don't think that would be possible to mod, but a magnifying glass is actually pretty cool idea.

An improvement in this area has been a topic of discussion for a while now, especially on the 5 mile maps. I'm sure we will come up with some sort of solution for a future release, in the meantime, Adukes has his map screens mod:

I think that it would be possible to cut the map up into.....let's say four different sections, enlarge that part of the map, and then to assign a different key to pull up each one of them.

I also think that it's possible to have the different maps show the icons on that particular section. I did a partial of this doing something that I can't remember at the moment years ago.

If I wasn't knee-deep-into the other thing that I'm working on, I'll attempt this.....maybe later on down the road!
