"Look at the map" mod?

[UmmiQ]

Hi

 

Is there a "Look at the map" mod, where similar to the "eye" there's a notification that after every 45s reminds you to look at the map?
I forget that myself.. i think I would be useful

I doubt such mod exists.
But after reading your request got interested to try something with xvm using battleTimer.py
There is a way to show text/image at specific time and location on screen.

example when timer is at 45 seconds:

{
  "def": {
    "CheckMinimap": { "enabled": true,
      "updateEvent": "PY(ON_BATTLE_TIMER)",
      //"layer": "top",
      "x": 0, "y": 75,
      //"borderColor": "0x000000",
      //"bgColor": "0x000000",
      //"w": 100, "h": 50,
      "alpha": "{{my-alive?100|0}}",
      "screenHAlign": "center", "screenVAlign": "top",
      "shadow": { "enabled": true, "color": "0x000000", "alpha": 90, "distance": 0, "angle": 90, "blur": 2, "strength": 2 },
      "textFormat": { "font": "Calibri", "color": "0xF50800", "size": 50, "align": "center", "valign": "top" },
      "format": "<b>{{{{py:xvm.secondsBT}}=45?{{l10n:CheckMinimap}}|}}</b>"
      //"format": "{{py:xvm.secondsBT=45?<img src='cfg://default/icons/SixthSense2.png'>}}"
    }
  }
}

CheckMinimap.xc

Oh, great. Thanks!

 

Where should I put this file to test it?

res_mods\1.2.0.1\scripts\client\gui\mods ?

 

And then I can pick whichever image I want?

@UmmiQLol, i was just fooling around, but if you wanna test it...well, where to start?

you need xvm, extra py macro, example config (from above) and some image.png (if you wanna use image)

put battleTimer.py inside res_mods/configs/xvm/py_macro
put example CheckMinimap.xc config file inside xvm config folder (by default: res_mods/configs/xvm/default)
inside config folder/battleLabels.xc add:

      ${ "CheckMinimap.xc":"def.CheckMinimap" }

(at the bottom, don't forget comma at the end for format above it)

Its already setup for text, if you wanna use image indication.
-Grab some image.png put inside config folder/icons
or inside res_mods/mods/shared_resources/xvm/res

inside CheckMinimap.xc add // on first format or remove it
remove // on second format

example if image is inside xvm config/default/icons

      "format": "{{py:xvm.secondsBT=45?<img src='cfg://default/icons/image.png'>}}"

example if image is inside res_mods/mods/shared_resources/xvm/res

      "format": "{{py:xvm.secondsBT=45?<img src='xvm://res/image.png'>}}"

It only stays up for 1 sec,
if you need longer like 3 sec or more, you have to add more {{py:xvm.secondsBT=xx?something}}


Quick example using sixthsense icon for 3 sec
you can use both (image and text), but you will have to play around with alignment/leading and vspace

CheckMinimap.xc

I don't know what exactly you need, image? text? on what condition?what position? for how long?
Once you figure it out i can help u make proper config file..if you want
...all this was just me fooling around

Sorry for delayed replies..

 

Do you happen to have this battleTimer.py? Because this link doesn't provide that- it has been removed.
I would like to test it out

...link appears to be working just fine.

Thx. I had to log in :) It was in Russian so I didn't understand that.

Anyway..

I don't have this file or folder:

put example CheckMinimap.xc config file inside xvm config folder (by default: res_mods/configs/xvm/default)
inside config folder/battleLabels.xc add:

My play session took way too long, so i stopped playing again and don't have game or anything wot related on pc. Also i don't know how much xvm and game are stable atm.


If you have xvm installed(default) or Aslain's modpack with xvm, you should have Aslain folder (inside res_mods/configs/xvm...) at least.
put config file there and edit inside (ignore default folder for default xvm)

I already posted 2 different checkminimap.xc "example" configs in this topic...

 anyway...here edited this one for Aslain xvm config,
try playing around with this one: CheckMinimap.7z
