This regression started happening in builds taken after commits on May 21 2018. Likely somewhere around there.
Could also be after commits on May 20 2018. There was a bit of work around UI and automap at that time, and player controller.
Anyway, hopefully something simple.

Re: Automap (indoor & dungeon) implementation
I am doing a revision pass on the dungeon automap
would rotation arrows around the rotation pivot axis beacon help to indicate its purpose better?
see this test screenshot:

Is that what that thing is?

Re: Automap (indoor & dungeon) implementation
Yes, that seems better and looks cool.
If I might add, some legend about controls would be great as well. Maybe we can add a button at that tab bellow the arrows? U click it and legend pops?
I can create that button.
With the new text formating, most of the info about controls cant be seen

Re: Automap (indoor & dungeon) implementation
I always thought on screen controls would be a welcome addition to making this work with just the mouse. Perhaps with a slide/pop out menu.

Re: Automap (indoor & dungeon) implementation
I also had plans for a help pop up window (launched via button press on a to be defined help button), but it would be a lot of work (since you would have to create a complete scroll window with explainations and maybe example screenshots)King of Worms wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 3:37 pm Maybe we can add a button at that tab bellow the arrows?

I can create that button.
I am not sure if I will ever have the time to do this.
What I plan to do in this revision pass are smaller things like the mentioned arrows and the micromap from vanilla

Re: Automap (indoor & dungeon) implementation
I think something simple like a overlay with all commands and brief description in text would be sufficient.
But its completely up to you ofc

Re: Automap (indoor & dungeon) implementation
Maybe reduce the tooltip delay for the automap buttons - they all have help text that pops up, but maybe not many people have realised that?

Re: Automap (indoor & dungeon) implementation
BUt with the new SDF fonts, the texts are too long and you cant see them, neither you can see all the command keys mentioned in the texts, so the info provided there is basically worthless in many cases.
Shortening the tooltip delay might and might not help
too fast tooltips can get annoying... needs testing ingame
