Yeah good idea its cool !

I would love to do this, but unfortunately it's not nicely possible as far as I know. The only things that the map displays on its own are textures, and there is no way I know of to generate textures on the fly (e.g. with names in them).

Another approach would be to find a way to know where on the screen the icon is and do an overlay of text, but this is also very difficult because the map is an object in the C++ code over which you have very little control, so it would take a lot of experimentation and fine-tuning to be able to figure out from the zoom level, panning of the map, etc, where the icons actually are on the screen.

That being said, I may try something like the latter eventually.

Edit: Coloring player icons I might be able to do, though... I could just make a color circle texture for each of the colors, and display that below the normal icon, I think. Still a bit hacky, but it seems doable.

I realized there were some completely different ways of approaching this than I had thought of initially, and managed to put this in. Yay!
