Re: Automap (indoor & dungeon) implementation
This is how it looks on my side.
Not sure if the CTRL+Page up/down is mentioned there? Cant see much .)

Hmm, that's not what I see. What aspect ratio are you on?

Re: Automap (indoor & dungeon) implementation
Can we please do something about this? I'm always fighting this just to see things. I just want to see things and let rotation deal with obstructions, things blending together isn't helping me at all.

Re: Automap (indoor & dungeon) implementation
You can change the display mode to cutout (switch display modes with F2 to F4). Not much else we can do, since things on top of each other will never be easy to read

Re: Automap (indoor & dungeon) implementation
I know it would be a departure from classic, but could default view be 3D instead of 2D?
The "red grid" icon is not very obvious and I've seen several streamers just check the dungeon map, try to decipher the top-down 2D view, and conclude that they'll have to do without the map...
There may be more than one way to try to improve upon this situation, it's just that using 3D map by default seems to be the simplest one

Re: Automap (indoor & dungeon) implementation
That just removes where I need to go much of the time, since paths go up and down often. Where is the normal classic mode of just showing everything?
I really, really want you to experiment with a mode you haven't tried yet. I see it working quite well in my head. Render nothing but the floors, and render them a solid color, no shading or lighting effects. Apply a solid black line at the base of the floor where the walls met the floor, this will represent the wall. This black line should not be there on cliffs, just where the wall goes UP from there floor. Without wall obstruction or textures blending into other floors or walls, this should create a more readable 3d map. If depth is still a problem, you can then try darkening each layer a little different.

Re: Automap (indoor & dungeon) implementation
Just a note Banshee - try that CTRL+page up / page down, it can remove the transparency.
This does not mean your ideas are not valid, its just something to try
PS: I agree with Pango that the 3d mode might be a default

Re: Automap (indoor & dungeon) implementation
Or with mouse controls by holding down middle mouse button and moving mouse up until slice/transparency limit is higher than any geomtry - this works for all 3 modes (transparency, cutout and wireframe)
Your idea sounds good, but we would need a shader programming god to implement this I fear
Classic never showed everything, it shows a subportion depending on viewer position but in a horrible wayBansheeXYZ wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2019 9:34 am That just removes where I need to go much of the time, since paths go up and down often. Where is the normal classic mode of just showing everything?
