Title: Improve game menu map
Post by: miha1111 on July 03, 2011, 11:08:02 am
When u press ESC and look on game map...why not make those square move just as player move...so you can get 100% correct location....or see if they are just standing on one place or they're in vehicle moving or such.

Regards.

I think the map isn't dynamic and doesn't allow movement, and it should be done by IV:MP developers and not by script.

I could be wrong though!

Because we don't have access to the code the IVMP developers created.

Well, you can suggest IVMP programmers to make this :)

Hmm nice idea, but I think it's hardcoded into the game, dunno, I'm no dev :P

I do not support this idea, as far as it would be way easier for cops. It actually already is. I mean, when a suspect success in escaping the cops, they just have to press escape to see his location... IRL, if you lost him, you lost him, that's all.

On the contrary, i would like player blips not to be shown on the map at all.

That makes absolutely no sense. They have to pause regardless to check the map, so there is no advantage there at all. You're also forgetting that the map's blips don't just disappear when they get too far away, so your argument still holds no validity.

Player blips will never be removed.

Fuzzy, i did. I don't get your point.

And SugarD, what i mean is for example: you are a chased suspect. You escape the cops and go hide somewhere on 2nd/3rd island. In real life, how cops could know where you are ? When on IV:MP, they just have to open the map and see your exact location...
And btw, pressing escape during a chase is really not a long/complicated action to do. My point is ctrl+t should be the only allowed help.

Then you should find another community because this is not a cops and robbers server. Chasing suspects is not the point of police duty. It's to RP the job itself. You shouldn't be out trying to hunt down a suspect in the first place.

I totally agree on this point. And I am rarely chased, as i'm more often rping with some rp-able players (which is not so many players...)
So actually i wasn't discussing this point for my own benefit, but for a global better rp experience.
And if you would come to play on the server more often, you would see that unfortunately, it usually is nothing more than cops vs robbers actions (due to both sides, cops but also "robbers" who teases the cops).

But we try hard to get rp to a higher level, with good rp-er cops (josef, ghost, gunz, and many others) and many good rp-er "civilians" also. Showing to newcomers that a real interaction/rp between cops and "civilians" is way funnier than just chasing.

I have been playing there since it's early stages. I was previously an Administrator there.

So you perfectly know what I'm saying ;)
