Silvers Advanced Minimap (now with Fog of War!)

Wow, thank you for making the best minimap plugin! I want to make some suggestions.
It is hoped that the minimap can be displayed in a circular or oval shape. Because squares are sometimes ugly!
When scrolling, you can directly drag with the mouse.
It would be smart if the mini map can be automatically hidden during conversations and other events!

Hey, First LOVE the plugin!
Is there a way to change the Window_X and Window_Y in the "Positioning and Size" to negative values?
I don't want it to be attached to the screen edges, if it's possible of course ~

Hi
This is what I wanted, but I there's an error on this plugin, I used SRD_TitleMapBackground and SRD_PressStart SRD_PressStart plugin.

Hey love that work of yours and the ton of custom functionality in your plugin! :) Anyhow it is not working for me with my QPlus and Qmovement Plugin. Is this a know isses? I really would like to use your map plugin, but the QPlugins are core of my game, can't edlere them..

Ok I figured it out myself, maybe it helps somebody..

The error occurs by setting up colliders with the QMovement Plugins like "<collider:box,8,48,2,0>". By changing the command to "<colliders> collision: box,8,48,2,0 </colliders>" the error doesn't occur anymore (Just be aware that you need to differ between collision and interaction by setting up the commands like that).

The #Fade-out fix didn't work for me, so I inserted "SE.Minimap.Window_Opacity = this._brightness;" right below the code line "SE.Minimap.Window.contents.paintOpacity = this._brightness;". Then the minimap disappears with a screen fade out. Anyhow since the oppacity of my map is 100 I also had to change the line "if (this._brightness < 255)" to "if (this._brightness < 100)". Because otherwise the minimap gets back to 255 opacity with a screen fade in.

To enable the FoW I had to change the line "if (!this.isMoving()) { " to "if (this.isMoving()) {". Then the FoW keeps updating itself. Didn't test yet if any errors or performance issues occur.

Good afternoon. How do I move the map to the upper-right corner?

Regarding plugin incompatibilities:
I can't personally go and try to figure out if <insert name of plugin> is incompatible with mine(s). It takes up too much time. My plugins are written as compatible as possible but sometimes they still clash with some other plugin. C'est la vie. A patch must be written (assuming the other plugin was properly written).


Thank you. Sorry, this plugin is not actively in development anymore. I only fix any major bugs if found. It's unlikely that new features will be added. I just don't have the time for free stuff right now. I have so many free projects everywhere (not just RPG Maker). Hopefully, soon I can at least centralize most of my projects onto 1 website, with 1 bug-tracker.


Thank you. Yes you can but you'd have to edit the script by adding 2 lines:
Change this:

Hello. Please use the plugin positioning parameters for this.

Window_x
Window_y
Are these parameters responsible for the position of the map on the screen? I tried to change it didn't work. Can you help?

I changed them in the demo project and it works just fine. Did you try using bigger numbers like Window_X: 200 or something? If it doesn't work, try the demo project or try resetting your minimap settings and then change them one by one to check where it breaks.

Thanks you. Turn out. Only it was necessary to put a minus, and in the text field.

I have a strange bug with version 1.41

For me the player blip does not update. No matter which graphic I want to use, it always shows me only the character sprite.

Is there a way to move the minimap's X and Y location in-game with a switch or a script call? I've looked through the script (really tidy and well-organized btw lol) and I've found this bit here:

SE.Minimap.Window = new Window_Minimap(x + SE.Minimap.Window_X, y + SE.Minimap.Window_Y, SE.Minimap.WindowWidth, SE.Minimap.WindowHeight, mapname, minimapType);
SE.Minimap.Window.resetFade();

Editing the SE.Minimap.Window_X and _Y values changes the location on the screen, but I really don't know enough about how the map is loaded, or javascript in general, to know if adding a switch check here should work that way...



Edit: After a few more minutes of fiddling and clearing my mind by taking a , all it took was the Script Command: SE.Minimap.Window_X = number, same with Y, and then the Plugin Command: Minimap Refresh to move it. So I'll just leave this here in case anyone else has a kindergarten level understanding of javascript like me

Hello, I was trying to set up a minimap, and what I got works wonders, but I need a functionality that I can't seem to get working. Maybe it's something to be implemented?
I'd like to have a command to render previously visited maps, instead of forcing only one map. Say I'd set it up to where I press PageUp and PageDown, and the minimap would flip between the ones I've visited. Since I'm working on a game that requires the user to know where to navigate next and which map to go to, I'd need them to be able to check what they haven't explored yet on other maps.
That's the gist of it. If it's possible, I'd like some help with it, if not, then I'll leave it here as an idea! Thanks!

(Sorry if my post sounds confusing, I haven't slept yet.)

Edit: I've been fiddling around ever since this post was made, but I still haven't figured it out. The maps are saved somewhere, so I don't quite understand why I'm not able to just switch into a new minimap for another map I'm not on. I actually tried to look through the code and the thread but still no clean way to flip through. I'd like to avoid mapshots if possible, as I like the current flexibility of the map generation.

Anyone know if there's a comparable minimap plugin for MZ? I've found a few minimap plugins but I'm really quite fond of this one and Fog of War is a must.
EDIT: I tried using FOSSIL, but attempting to do a test run just results in an "undefined" error even though this plugin is supposedly compatible.

Two issues, one is bad, the other just a nuisance.

- The minimap will hang the game if you press the assigned key to bring up the mini-map menu while the "getting into a fight" sequence is playing (when the screen flashes and zooms in on the player before a battle begins).

- The minimap menu can be called up while a message is displaying, which is just kinda weird.

Hello everyone,

does anyone happen to know a call script command to open the map scene?
I'm trying to bind it to a button that would, when pressed, provide the same effect as when pressing the "M" key.

I've been trying SceneManager.push(Scene_MiniMap) and stuff like that, but without success... I think I am missing something...

So... yeah. I found out and feel stupid for asking...

There is a plugin command for that:
Minimap ShowMapMenu

So, i'm having this issue where opening the map menu(the one you open with the "M" key) after creating a POI causes the game to give this error. For reference, i'm using the DEMO provided in plugin's page. Below is the error, as well as the POI plugin command i used and what the console has to say about the error. This pretty much makes the entire POI system unusable, which i'd say is a preeeetty major bug..

When I use the <mm_size:128 128>
map notetag to resize the minimap window, I get this error. Any solution?

Hi everyone, I really like this plugin especially the "fog of war" and "generate map" features. However, I've always had performance problems and sometimes freezes as soon as the fog of war was active, which discouraged me from using the plugin in the past.

I gave it a new try recently because I wanted to start a dungeon crawler project, and a minimap with such features is kinda mandatory for a such game.

I am under the impression the performance issues are related to this issue: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/inde...eeps-playing-the-problem-the-solution.151887/
... and that the graphicsRenderFix prevents my test project to lag of freeze when the fog of war is active.

Have other users of the plugin had similar experience?
