Perfekt:

Perfekt: Workin' on a mini map.
When I finish it, Jacob is gonna add it to NGO.


Rian: I'd prefer a minimap that uses basic colored blocks to represent the world


Perfekt: Lol.
I'm still working on the mini map.
I just started this.


Rian: And also, it should be display more



Perfekt: It will.
It's gonna show the whole map.
I'm working on the small stuff now, then gonna switch it to stretchblt so I can shrink it.


Rian: The whole damn map?


Perfekt: Most of it.
At least twice what you can see now.

Perfekt:
Better?
Lol.


Rian: Jizzed my pants better.


Perfekt: Haha.
It only shows the blocked tiles.

Haha, nice work man.

Since I'm into men, not women

I can't take these huge penises anymore! All that's left is shame! And blood

O.O... I've always wanted to make one of those, but I have no idea on how to go about doing it.

It's pretty simple, after reading this I wrote my own to show blocked tiles and sprites in about 5 mins. I'm gonna put up a tutorial for adding it to my Dx8 engine soon, and I'll add a Dx7 version if you'd like?

I think what I see is this happening:

Labmonkey gets mod, everybody loves him, people find out his code sucks, he gets demoted, then banned, then he makes an engine called Chaos Engine.

your graphics were designed for Direct3D8

Yeah, your minimap is nice.


Spoons took blocked tiles and drew a rid box where they were, a white box where a player was and yellow for NPCs I believe. He later modeled it after Runescapes. It is pretty simple, just parse your map, and if you have a surrounding map system, them as well, and draw accordingly.

There is probably a better way, like doing what Runescape does - drawing a world map, then have the minimap "camera" scroll with it according to the player. Then draw the dots for players and NPCs only.
