Minimap with ship name and last known position (by Kvalme) [mod discontinued]

[Yedidya]

Hey Aslain,

 

will you try to continue that mod or will it be completely removed forever from the mod, because it is one of the most useful mods in my opinion :/

Kvalme is the one that discontinued it. So yeah, it's gone.

[Yedidya]

And someone else taking it over and continuing it? :(

[Quaksen]

Unlikely, I think. But who knows.

[Yedidya]

Well, lets hope then

[Seabee]

It will be missed.

[CH3CKM8]

1 of 3 mods I loved was this one, the other is smoke boundaries and player stats next to names, all gone... I feel alone and cold... 

[Yedidya]

Plus also the different coloured type of shells... :/ Seeing on the map your detection range ship to ship and plane to plane

[JFCFuller]

This is a huge shame. As others have said, this was my one 'must have' mod. I really hope the developer and WG can sort something out so that this mod can live again.

According to a NA WG employee, they will add detection range circles to the game.  He said they would be dynamic so that when you fire your guns, the circle will grow and shrink when you are in smoke.  They are hoping, but no promises, that it will be included in 0.5.6.  Check out the latest ShootTheRedShips podcast for the entire discussion.

Nope, there is not.

[Cypis]

Well... it took WG about 4 years to implement "last position" feature in WoT... let's hope it will be quicker in WoWs case :>

While I realize it is a long shot, has anyone looked into whether or not WG used the same code for minimaps between WoT and WoWS?

It is completely different, also WG has to approve your minimap mod in case you want to release it to the public, that's one of the obstacles that discontinued the old mod.

Indeed. The author (Kvalme) choose to say NO to the NDA that Wargaming wands to put on him (I guess it's an NDA telling him he cannot say how the approval process is, heh), and thus, the mod is no more.

[Cypis]

Any news on "enemy last spotted" front?

I do miss it badly, more in WoWs then in WoT to be honest.

[Dr_McCoy]

Hi Aslain & Team,

 

is it possible to bring the Spotcircles back!?

 

regards

[Quaksen]

If or when someone updates or makes a new map with it, sure.

[BlueKQ]

Maybe this should be a pinned post.....  Wargaming is hoping to add those to the game in a future update.  They think 0.5.6, but did not promise.  The mod developer who did the previous version will not be updating his to work with the current version of the game.

There is no mod for now, better wait for WG to introduce this into the game.

[94EXPOS]

Yup   all the mods that were the most useful are all no longer available. Last position enemy spotted, xvm stats beside players names, see though mini map, smoke boundaries....wahts left  ...oh yeah all those idiotic Arpeggio skins add-ons. Oh and if you are really depressed you can have a 100% weather effect mod on 100% of the time......rain drops keep falling on my head,,,,Im puking in the rain.....Always On Weather we get to replace the real mods that everyone wants and are used to.

Basically whats left is not even worth having.

[Quaksen]

Isn't the transparent minimap in the modpack?

 

As for the "xvm stats", who gives a damn. Especially for World of Warships where you can set your profile to private, and thus stats are hidden?

[Aslain]

I will add a minimap mod with ship names today.

[savingj]

Awesome new mod! However, it seems like I am unable to tell if the ships from long distance  are friendly or foe. Any chance you can change this?

[BlueKQ]

It also seems that the "dead" ships are not reflected on the map??

[Aslain]

It's not my mod, I cannot do anything about any issues you have there with it. It works as it works, otherwise wait for another version from monstrofil (if he releases it).

[Cypis]

Many thanks, Aslain!

Please remind me to invite you for some nice beer when/if U even land in Gdańsk / Sopot

 

 

Anyway - is there any person who knows how to configure this mod?

 

minimap.xml (from res_mods\0.5.5.1\gui\flash\ ) contains surprisingly few options,

 

and I noticed rkiConfig.xml still in res_mods\0.5.5.1\ - does it still work in some way?

Edited May 18, 2016 by Cypis

[Cypis]

The thing is that even in WoT modded minimaps are still better (more info, better presentation) then stock ones...

[BlueKQ]

Sure... but the creator of the mod you like has stated he will not update it.  WOWS knows people really liked that functionality so they want to bring it to the game.
