Map "arrow" custom color
« on: March 17, 2013, 05:10:00 am »
The arrow that shows your location on your map, i still find it sometimes hard to find myself, even with "center on me". I would love to be able to change the color of your arrow from within the Map Control Panel. The same options of colors for map markers, have these options available for the arrow color, or anything really :-) as it is the light yellowish/greenish arrow outline often blends into the yellowish/greenish terrain on the map, since that's where i'm at more often.

with options, this way for example when in desert will use one color, when in forest will use another color, when in the snow still another color, this way can always have a contrasting color, would be easy to find yourself, and i think people would like it :)

I agree with the father of All :D


Indeed the arrow sometimes it is just invisible! I would also love an option in Control Panel that could affect the appearance (soze, color) of the arrow!

In addition, i would really really love this -  ::) , if you also had a customizable circle show on the map around your arrow. Just a thin, pencil line circle around your arrow. Theoretically, i see this super useful, if the circle would be the radius of 200m, (which (correct me if im wrong)), is the radius that radar shows. If it was customizable, then you could also set it to the range of your rifle. This way you can see the radar, see the map, and have a good idea on what is around you and how far.

The 200m radius is correct :)
And it would look cool on the map too.

I like both ideas because I've also found it hard to find my location on the map and I think it'd be very useful to see how much of the map is within radar or rifle range.

The reason I thought of having a 200m radar circle show on the map as well (maybe have a toggle/optional setting for it) is because i had marked in a section of map the places where i have killed several mobs, so try and find patterns of spawn points (so that then i could travel a relatively consistent loop) When zoomed (not even all the way), the marks are still fairly far apart. So, i travel from mark to mark, figuring this way I can find the mobs faster ^_^ doesn't quite work out how i was hoping it would. But. If i could see how much of the map I have "covered" in my search for mobs, then i could run up and down "scanning" for mobs, more effectively. If this makes any sense. As far as rifle range, this might be useful for mob hunt or pvp, dunno. Optional setting would be cool.

I see what you're saying, yeah. I was thinking the circle would move with you but it looks like your request is for a stationary circle right? I could see that being handy for a number of purposes too!

No i thought the circle would center on your arrow and move with you, but being able to create lines or circles of your own on the map would be pretty awesome, could serve many random uses :)
