|
|
What do I mean?
Currently the minimap works like this:
Players are shown as green dot in the minimap. Yellow dot if they are damaged. Red dot if they are extremely low HP.
Requesting this:
Show the players in the radar with their according skin color. Same with the SITREP font color. This way it is very fast to check, who is near you with the combination of radar+sitrep. "Oh, it is red dot, I know it is playerX from the sitrep because of the font color". SITREP is fast for checking the HP anyways, so it is a bit useless in the radar, but maybe let players decide what they want to do with the colors. |

Well, maybe having the SITREP font color different for each player is a bit too "rainbowish", so how about just a colored square? Similar to the scoreboard |

yoo Looper. I also had that idea some time ago.
Just a few things that already cropped up, like what if a player has a dark (say black) skin color? that will make him invisible in radar.
Same goes for the sitrep, if the player has a color that matches the background...
I know this can then be avoided by using color override on my client, but then I have to adjust it again...
I am still not sure if it will be as good in practice. |

Ah yeah, visibility problems. Well, here's one way to fix it:
Keep the edges of the dot with the current color (white?), but the center of the dot is colored with the player's skin like this:
XXXXX
XAAAX
XAAAX
XAAAX
XXXXX
Where A = player's skin color and X = the current color. Or is it too tiny? Make the dot pixel/a bit thicker? |

I dont know how your radar looks like, but my dots are not that big. I dont know if I would see the inner color. |

The edges only have to be 1 pixel wide to be very visible as far as I know. |

For 1.10.16:
Sitrep can show a square with the player color now (like the scoreboard) when a "+Col" setting is used. Non-teamgames only.
Team radar can be set to "Player Color" now. Survival/Coop only. |
