AlphaBlend the minimap
 

I think it would look a lot better if the minimap used setcoloreffect 1,1,1,0.51
So you can see through it, see...same for a lot of things really, but minimap especially. It takes up so much space, that I always close it...if I could see through it, I wouldn't have to!
Plus, that way you could just use a shrunk-down version of the big map instead of a sketchy line drawing....I always cry when stuff vanishes when I scale down and transparencify it....well, not really, but you get the picture

YEAH UM I WAS THINKING THAT UMM YESTERDAY.

What would also be cool for the bigmap is if we could make some commands which would allow you to detect NPCs from levels and place images on the bigmap to show where they are.
Storms could be tracked that way, as could a special bomy or something. Not to mension flags could be places if an RP event based on Capture the Flag were to be played all around NewMain.
Numbers could be placed on the bigmap so that it would be easier on both the FAQ and the players to find places and to tell where places are.
Is that a good enough example?
