Bongos Cornucopia: Minimap Dots

[jaliborc]

I've been thinking about adding a feature to Bongos Minimap: tracking dots skins. Users that have tried Chinchilla should already have seen this.

This is a poll for users to vote and decide if the feature should be added or not.

Forgot to tell: if you choose option 4, please post a reply here to explain your opinion.

I don't know if you will get this I hope you do but I use Blipstick to skin my Minimap blips. Just hoping this helps you out wether you need something to start with.

Don't worry: if I add this feature, it will come with a nice skins package. And if you want another skin, users will be able to create plug-ins that add extra skins.

P.S: In the current version it's possible to add minimap border skins, but no one ever done a Cornucopia plug-in. It just needs to be a bit more popular!

Good News People!

Nandini (author of the minimap border skins) has just authorized me to use any of his blip skins!
He's also the author of every Chinchilla blip skin, and of many (probably all, I' not sure) Blipstick skins.

Sorry, I only realized now that you weren't requesting nothing, you were just trying to give me something to start. I read this message so quickly that I didn't notice it.

Anyway, thank you for the advice, it may help me in the future.

Bumped the post

I finally took a decision: I'm going to add this feature, but I will make the minimap bar modular, so that users may disable the features they don't use.

Whats the point? Blipstick does the same thing.

Why Chinchilla has that feature? What's the point?

There are different opinions, and many people like to have every feature in the same addon. If you don't like this idea, vote for 'no' in the poll.

Well, Chinchilla was released before Blipstick, though I don't know when tek started writing it. Some people will want it in their minimap addon, some people won't. It's ultimately up to the author as to whether they want to include it or not.

edit: in the end, if you add it, add it for yourself, jaliborc - not for anyone else.

As Seerah said it's your mod do what the hell you want with it.

No problem.
