Halo jump script - Minimap - Solved!

[GomerPyle]

Hi!

I have been making a mission using the "AAH" halo jump script used in Black Sword mission. But I am not able to script the mini map they used in that mission. Is there anyone who knows what I need to do or anyone who can send me the files or point me in the right direction so I can get that brilliant mini map working?? I am flying in the dark from 10000ft and not possible to find land. lol

I have been trying to implement the minimap dialog from "mando_missile_arma_v23_mandoble" after talking to him on pm. He is refering to a titleRsc but I am not sure what I am looking for. The file i needed to look into is "check mando_missile.h".

Any help here would be appreciated...

Thanks, Gomer

Edit: I have updated this thread.

Huge viewdistance. 

Joking... check to make sure the dialog of the map has been implemented into your description.ext etc, you could be missing a header perhaps? Any errors?

Romm,

OFPEC ILS is much simpler to follow.

You need to define a title with a map control, then show the title with titleRsc and use the display stored by the onLoad GUI event handler to "play" with the map.

OFPEC ILS titles are defined inside ofpec_ilstitles.h, which is included inside description.ext file.

here is an attachment if anyone want to take a look...

Enjoy  

Dont forget to change global var names and resource names.

wow. thanks mate... really liked that.. Now i only need to make it appear in top left corner of screen and disappear after i open my chute. And ofcourse alter the colours so they match the normal map...
