mini map in mist fog

Post by icyflamescantbebotheredtologin »

Harharhar, the confirmation code contained the word 'sex'. Hardy har.

Anyway, the other day I was reading a post with someone saying that a lot of MP games prefer fog of war to mist so people know where they've been. I found it odd because I never remembered that being a problem in 1.0-1.10. I just realised that the reason we knew in 1.10 where we'd been despite mist fog, is because our minimap only showed the bits where we'd been. I distinctly remember scouting large areas with VTOLs and knowing exactly what I needed to scout by viewing the minimap. Please fix this.

Thanks!

Hardirhar, the next one who isn't able to understand that the project feedback is not for game features or problems will recieve one free perma ban. Harrr.

I recall removing that silly "feature" ages ago, and you are apparently the first person to have missed it. So no, not very motivated to put it back in. Is it really that hard to remember where you have been on a map?

Actually, that feature is rather helpful, and I would prefer to have it back. However, if you should put it back in, I suggest you add an option to enable/disable it. It's not that important, though.

I missed it!

Put it back! At least for Fog of War.

I think it's still there for Fog of War. Now you mention it... does distance fog even exist anymore? Seems to me there isn't any fog anymore if you select "mist".

Also, a minor point: If I start a campaign with mist fog, then save, play a fog of war game in multiplayer, then load my campaign, my campaign automatically becomes fog of war. I can reverse it by going to options, but it'd make sense if it turned back to mist fog if I loaded a game I started with mist fog.
