Team Radar

[divVerent]

For the next Nexuiz version:



Configurable options:



What it shows:

• Team mates
• Bases
• Waypoints of your team
• Notifications when your team makes a waypoint, or your flag/a key gets taken

What it will never show:

• Enemies (and their waypoints)
• Item spawns

To configure it on servers that already have it:

• set cl_teamradar_position "1 0" for the top right corner (generally "x y")
• set cl_teamradar_size "192 192" for a bigger radar (generally "w h")
• set cl_teamradar_zoommode "1" to zoom IN with zoom key and have it zoomed out by default, the other non-default modes are 2 and 3
• set cl_teamradar_rotation "1" (up to 4) to set a fixed direction for the radar, instead of rotating it with you
• set cl_teamradar_scale "8192" to see more on it
• set cl_teamradar_background_alpha "0.25" for a less opaque background (or -1 to turn the background off)

To install it on a server, get a current svn build and provide radar images by a curl download (e.g. my radarimages-v2.pk3 on http://emptyset.endoftheinternet.org/~r ... uiz/files/).

To add radar support to a map that lacks it, load up the map in a svn build, do "sv_cmd radarmap" and wait till it is done. Then locate a file mapname_radar.xpm, open it in GIMP (or something else, e.g. IrfanView for Windows users) and save as gfx/mapname_radar.tga. With ImageMagick, it goes like:

convert mapname_radar.xpm mapname_radar.tga

Of course you can also edit the image in another way.

wow double wow, this looks awesome!

To add radar support to a map that lacks it, load up the map in a svn build, do "sv_cmd roughmap" and wait till it is done. Then locate a file mapname_mini.xpm, open it in GIMP (or something else), apply a sharpening filter (I used the convolution matrix

-1 -1 -1
-1 9 -1
-1 -1 -1

for my images) and save as gfx/mapname_mini.tga. With ImageMagick, it goes like:

convert ~/.nexuiz/data/data/gfx/thedeathfactory_mini.xpm -convolve -1,-1,-1,-1,9,-1,-1,-1,-1 gfx/thedeathfactory_mini.tga

In GIMP, use Filters/Enhance/Sharpen with a sharpness of 89 to match this.

in GIMP you can also directly apply the convolution matrix with Filters/Generic/Convolution Matrix :

Code: Select all

0  0  0  0 0
0 -1 -1 -1 0
0 -1  9 -1 0
0 -1 -1 -1 0
0  0  0  0 0

Sure, I know that, but sharpen with 89 does exactly the same (I compared it with having the convert-made image on the bottom layer, and playing with sharpen in the top layer, and operation set to "difference"). And it's less typing that way.

OMG

[GreEn`mArine]

looks really impressive!

[Rad Ished]

Well I heared some talk about a team radar some months ago and I was a bit whatever about it...... but this is truely awesome, nice work guys and thank you.
I was like
Nexuiz is starting to look very polished indeed.

Are you distributing a pack with all current map radar pictures?

[divVerent]

Yes, and repacking some maps that also need incompatible changes to support the radar (or the image gets extremely small).

can... I have a link?
