Just a quick preview, as i have to do some more testing etc.

The mod pretty much 'just' enables the radar/minimap when you are spectating someone.

(You see what he sees on his radar.)

It should help people to distinguish between cheaters and legit players a little bit.

 

 

If any server owner wants to try it, save this as hold_breath_hint.menu :

UPDATED 21.02. 16:38:

- adapts positions depending on players cg_descriptivetext dvar

- matching the stock radar position exactly now

- fixed typo .-.

UPDATED 23.02. 18:20:

- fixed 'scan-lines' on the radar...

I use that one to leave the normal radar (when not spectating) untouched for now.

It should enable the radar if you're spectating a player, not when you're in freespec without spectating a specific player...

Just copy it to you servers m2demo/ui_mp folder. I am not sure if it works without download support enabled. I guess it doesn't but give it a try.

 

And please report back if it does work or not.

 

EDIT 1: updated pastebin code

dat minimap_fullscreen.menu

dat self_writed_minimap.menu

This would be nice if it can be triggered by a dvar. Also try to fix it overlapping the mouse command instructions.

Toggling by dvar should be very easy, fixing the overlapping is harder though. But IMO the overlapping isn't such a big problem.

Thanks will give it a try

Useful in non-sd modes, otherwise people might cheat by simply using voice chat application to communicate with dead player who will know where enemies are

When you're spectating a player you only see the radar (and things on the radar) he sees.

I don't see how you could cheat that way...

It's like that in cod4 promod like forever.

 

Oh btw: seems like the common .menu file bug affect this mod too. You would have to reconnect to the server after you connected (and downloaded the mod).

It doesn't seem to be working without download support enabled, from what i've seen on MAGIC's server.

In my opinion if something should get added to the 'official' client it should look professional. And to be honest, with an overlapping text it just doesn't look professional.

 

However, again nice job.

Oh okay, it looked like some kind of compassshowenemies somehow

Move the radar down so it doesn't overlap please, it'll look 10x better if you do that.

move it to right?

great mod i love it. banning people now is even more easier :3

Yes, sure if it would get added 'officially' it should be perfect/near to perfection. I pretty much just meant that the overlapping isn't a game breaking bug.

 

move it to right?

Yeah, that'd be an easy fix although i would prefer to move the text to the top right corner as players are used to the radar being on the left. (and nobody really looks at the text i guess.)

Moving the text would be harder though, as it seems to be in hud_fullscreen.menu and i'd have to fix that one up completely as the dumped version is messed up pretty heavily, i think.

EDIT: Done look at the video in the first post.

 

BTW:

cg_descriptiveText 0 //Draw descriptive spectator messages

would be a temporary soltion it disables that specific text.

 

EDIT: I've updated the pastebin link and changed the position of the spectator radar. It adapts to cg_descriptivetext setting now. Watch the video in the first post please if you don't get what i mean.

use exp rect y(3+dvarint(cg_descriptivetext)*57)

Nice one. thanks for release.

use exp rect y(3+dvarint(cg_descriptivetext)*57)

The text should be moved, not the minimap.

im going to fix hud_fullscreen_hd

use exp rect y(3+dvarint(cg_descriptivetext)*57)

Updated, forgot about the expression field, lol. Thanks.

 

im going to fix hud_fullscreen_hd

Nice. Seems quite hard to find all the function/dvars etc. used for the 'visible when's' in there...
