OK... simple... I didn't like the color of the mini map (the one in the lower right corner). Somehow it just didn't look right to me. If anyone is interested, here are some screen shots of the original mini map, then my really small change. Trust me, my feelings will not be hurt if you don't like it, but I will post it here if there is any interest in me doing so. It is a very small file, and I will include the original file to UNDO it if you are not happy with it "in game". Just let me know.



Have a blessed day,

I hope you enjoy.

******************************
UPDATE:

It was pointed out that I had left out the alpha channel... forgive me... this should take care of that.
Thanks to richvh and others (sorry for not mentioning names directly), and the work that richvh did to make into a mod.

HERE is the new download...

THE MAKING OF MY MINIMAP INTO A "MOD" IS THE WORK OF richvh... I ONLY COLORED THE MINIMAP. richvh IS THE ONE WHO PUT IT INTO A "MOD" FORMAT FOR THE EASE OF INSTALLATION. PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE richvh FOR DOING SO.

Have a blessed day,

small change is right but way better than vanilla color. Thanks

when i first played the game i was looking at the light colour for land and it didn't make sense too me. I sadly don't want to admit how long it took before i figured it out

Good idea I really like these small tweaks to the game.
BTW it should be renamed to "minimap_area" without the .dds and without the quotes

Changed this into a proper mod, which should be compatible with anything:

minimap.7z

Just extract to your mod directory, no need to change any vanilla files.

@kmkenpo: I like the color, but you didn't include the alpha channel, which gives causes some artifacts along the edges of the map, and means the outline of the map doesn't look as good.

Edit: This is what the map looks like with the alpha channel added:

As you can see, the artifacts on the right of the minimap are now gone, and it is transparent rather than black.

I don't think the OP is still around. (3 posts since January doesn't really sound like an active forum reader.) I sent him a PM, but a response would require him having registered with an email address he actually uses.

Edit: I just did it myself, here it is if anyone wants it.

OK... richvh sent me a message, but I am hardly ever on the forums, so I am sorry for the MASSIVE delay.

To the point:

Original minimap was missing alpha channel, which I didn't realize was left out. So, I took richvh's mod, and then tweaked the dds file to include the alpha. Now it is transparent behind the minimap, and all seems to be working fine - err... at least on my machine.

I am truly sorry for any trouble or inconvenience that I may have caused, it was not my intent.

To anybody who thought kmkenpo was stealing or trying to take credit for my work... all I did was take his work, and wrap it into a really small mod, which took maybe 2 minutes. All the hard work (graphics editing) was his.

I think this should be totally ok with 1.10, correct?
