If possible and not too performance heavy it would be cool if the map drew icons of players that you have line of sight with. (Like in CS) Maybe have optional settings for it to include/ignore what other players see or to display at all time regardless of line of sight.

Regarding the direction. It would be cool if the map overlay on the HUD rotated with the player, but it also could be cool if we could statically rotate the overlay in 90 degree increments to fit other mods that feature a compass - say, the HOL-D4 HUD im using thinks that north is +Y (left on the minimap) and S.M.A.R.T. Bracelet thinks that north is -X (down on the minimap). Gets a little bit disorienting when you're walking around with your high tech holographic watch out and need to remember that north on your map is DOWN.

There really should be some consensus between source developers on what is north, maybe based on the orientation of the maps in the Half Life 2 campaign against the map drawings in the Highway 17, but lets be honest, who would *actually* bother doing that?

Alright thx

Setting the sampler mode to automap will make it discover the map on it's own over time, after that the game will automatically load the saved version when you load the map.
Gluty z Dupy 9 Dec, 2023 @ 10:53am 
Is there a way to load a full map without walking around ?
TankNut  [author] 26 Nov, 2023 @ 4:49am 
Because it's not actually drawing a model, it's a flat rendering of one.
TheSmokeinator 25 Nov, 2023 @ 7:08pm 
it is nice to have a model minimap, but why does it keep rebuilding every time I move my mouse? :summercat2023:

Minimap don't work
Z0MB1N3RZ 9 May, 2023 @ 12:01pm 
Is there or will there be an option to make NPCs / nextbots visible on the map?
Exodius Games 23 Apr, 2023 @ 2:50pm 
Would it be possible to have an option to make the minimap rotate so that the top is always the direction the player is facing?
TankNut  [author] 31 Mar, 2023 @ 11:42am 
For some modes yes, the satellite mapping tool does shut itself off after it finishes it's sweep but for others I don't think it's unreasonable to expect players to turn it off themselves.
Taehl 31 Mar, 2023 @ 10:37am 
Hmm... Would it be possible to check for something like "have any new points been found in the last X seconds", and if not, stop checking?
TankNut  [author] 31 Mar, 2023 @ 6:56am 
That's intentional, there's no way to detect how much of a map is covered so I can't just tell it to shut off when done.
Taehl 31 Mar, 2023 @ 4:36am 
Amazing addon! Too bad it cuts my FPS in half even when I'm only using the minimap at "medium" resolution. If it's any help, according to DBugR the performance hit is entirely from the function Think_pointcloud, and I notice it happens while using any sample mode except "disabled". It's almost like it never stops sampling, even after it's got the whole map covered...

Epic map, GJ making it

thanks
TankNut  [author] 17 Dec, 2022 @ 7:49am 
The minimap is too big, use a smaller resolution.
wholesome psycho 17 Dec, 2022 @ 7:19am 
this is the best minimap addon in the entire workshop, but i do have a problem: after doing the minimaps of like 30/40 maps, every time it tries to make another one it says "out of memory" and a few seconds later crashes not only gmod but also my entire computer. I do have the space tho so is there a problem with the addon or a problem with my computer?
TankNut  [author] 16 Dec, 2022 @ 7:53am 
If nothing's happening try the manual button inside of the options -> pointcloud menu, make sure you actually have generated a part of the map since otherwise it wouldn't show anything because there'd be nothing to show.

i cant spawn in a 3d projection ? how do i do this, i press j but nothing happens ?

Loving this mod.
Tajiki~Chan 28 Jun, 2022 @ 6:35pm 
Cheers :steamthumbsup:
TankNut  [author] 27 Jun, 2022 @ 2:45pm 
The dat file isn't meant to be opened outside of the game, it doesn't contain anything useful
Tajiki~Chan 27 Jun, 2022 @ 1:52pm 
How can i open .dat file with map data stored?
And what will i see there?)
Thanks in advance, this mod is fantastic.
Memerman 9 Apr, 2022 @ 5:54am 
ohhh ok it's not your fault
TankNut  [author] 8 Apr, 2022 @ 12:11pm 
> Projections disappearing and having to re-render when you move your camera is a technical limitation I cannot do anything about. It's the only way to display something with that much detail without the game crashing outright.
Memerman 7 Apr, 2022 @ 11:57am 
why does the hologram reset when i move?
and is there a fix to it?
TankNut  [author] 4 Apr, 2022 @ 8:14pm 
Check the options panel
Cheezbrgr 4 Apr, 2022 @ 1:38pm 
How do I change the minimap keybind?
Ziggle 1 Apr, 2022 @ 2:15pm 
when i went in to a map my game immedilaity crashed

Oh sorry TankNut
TankNut  [author] 12 Mar, 2022 @ 6:24pm 
I don't know, not my addon.
unlikeaboss 13 Feb, 2022 @ 3:53pm 
its too lagy

Updated
TankNut  [author] 18 Oct, 2021 @ 5:32am 
Well today I found out that the workshop version is pretty outdated, give me a bit and I'll upload the latest changes.
D6RxW4R 18 Oct, 2021 @ 5:25am 
Horizontal/vertical alignment is nowhere to be found. Even after reinstalling
TankNut  [author] 18 Oct, 2021 @ 5:17am 
Options > Pointcloud > Minimap > Horizontal/Vertical alignment
D6RxW4R 18 Oct, 2021 @ 5:04am 
Under pointcloud settings, there is only the option to make it bigger/zoom in. I'm talking about moving it to the bottom right, for example, rather than the top left.
TankNut  [author] 18 Oct, 2021 @ 4:56am 
You absolutely can move the minimap around, play around with the settings.
D6RxW4R 17 Oct, 2021 @ 11:40pm 
This is a pretty taxing addon depending on how good your computer is. Wish you could move the minimap to other parts of the screen. Really cool concept though. Thumbnail kinda reminded me of the watch_dogs map
Frenchy 27 Sep, 2021 @ 7:35pm 
Nice! Much appreciated.
TankNut  [author] 27 Sep, 2021 @ 12:34pm 
I can do that yeah
Frenchy 26 Sep, 2021 @ 5:39pm 
Dang, what an impressive addon... Especially for Gmod standards.

It'd be nice to have a player height offset option for the minimap... as in, like, render the minimap as though the player was higher (or lower) than they actually are.
'tis but a suggestion.
Lambda 20 Sep, 2021 @ 7:53pm 
would be cool if we could see the whole map without needing to explore it all
Paynamia 17 Sep, 2021 @ 4:32am 
This addon is awesome, but my god the FPS hit is mad. A decrease of 80FPS at standard settings for me.
weird core 8 Sep, 2021 @ 5:25pm 
so basically, a MiniMap?
Nekromant 15 Jun, 2021 @ 3:10am 
Hello. Is it possible to use this addon on the server?

D MAS is the death icon really necessary?
