Description
Larger S o B Map (Outdated)
This mod is marked obsolete, but all its components still function correctly. I haven't seen this particular mod available elsewhere, so I thought I'd share it. It was released a couple of days before another mod called "Big Map", but currently has fewer features (as of March 14, 2016). However, the experimental files may be of interest. I recommend using lexo1995's "Big Map" mod instead of this one. Note that both sets of experimental files can be used together or separately with lexo's mod to create new effects. The basic version locks your map: This simple script (place it in your 'scripts' folder) provides an online-style single-player map displaying the entire game world zoomed out. May seem useless, right? The experimental files (1_01a) have a readme inside the zip file that toggles your map based on your movement state: if you walk or stand still, your map will be normal; but it will snap to the larger online map when you run or sprint. 1_01b likely belongs to my "You Know Nothing" mod: sprinting disables your radar. Try both files; they are compatible and can be used together. Anyone willing to help me clean up the code is welcome.
Upcoming (1_02):
Add a toggle between multiple map types using a key press, as suggested by Eddlm (NOTE: this feature is currently implemented in the excellent "Big Map" mod). Two other options are being considered: walking or driving brings up/replaces the larger map with your regular map, or bringing up your phone restores your normal map. This will simulate looking at/memorizing your GPS. I plan to add transparency/fading to minimize visual shock and shrink the zoomed-out minimap to match the size of the small 'normal' minimap.
As always, this is a modest effort and may not be worth much space on a server, but perhaps you'll find it useful.
