Resizing Ingame Map

Post by battaile » Fri Jan 09, 2004 11:41 pm

Is there any way to resize the ingame map? (either existing or with mild source customization?)

Edit the EQUI_MapViewWnd.xml in your selected UI folder and change the following:

From:

Code: Select all

    <Style_Sizable>false</Style_Sizable>
To:

Code: Select all

    <Style_Sizable>[color=red]true[/color]</Style_Sizable>

Only problem I have with this is that the map render area doesn't change with the resizing of the map window, and the buttons don't move either... any ideas?

Doh, forgot about that. The window is a set size in that same file, but resizing that part would require moving a large amount of the other window contents.

There are some UI mods of the map window that put the buttons at the top, to make it easier to resize. If you code the interior map window to be the largest you'll want it, and make the outside window resizable in the game, you can resize the window and it will just obscure part of the interior window. Since you can move around and zoom, this is workable, but I believe the auto-center button can then put you off the screen and you have to fish around to find your arrow.
