4K-Resolution - Minimap too mini ... i mean ... SMALL

[eitsch0r]

Hi there,

we already have some threads about Requests for Minimap (re-)sizing but as i upgraded my setup a bit and now experience the 4k Resolution i am granted the following Minimap … which i despise enough to present you … tadaaa … the Mini-Mini-Map … but before that … for the shizzles:

Resolution: 3840x2160 (4K) — Image is resized to 1920x1080 because of Filesize-Limit

Resolution: 1920x1080

Resolution: 1280x720 — OH, and after a witty thought i tried the lowest possible

Lets see if this makes you think about reprioritizing customizable HUD-Elements (size-wise)
Greetings

Definitely an issue here and something we need to support, can’t say when though, sorry!

With the current rise in 4K resolution we’ll need to address this sooner than later but yeah unfortunately no definitive date.

yay, replies! replies everywhere!

I must admit that i made the error to focus my arguments on the 4k Resolution (which arguably has a rather a low percentage of users).

In the Pictures you can also rather easily compare 1920x1080 vs 1280x720 minimap-size (and minimap is just one of the gui-elements … they all are displayed with different ratios in each resolution) and see it bigger in smaller resolutions … should’ve tried 800x600 … will try it soon just because i made myself curious now.

But yeah … i read your replies and go quietly weeping until the sprinkled magic fairy dust of backlog grooming brings back attention to this.

Have a nice fight,

i found something! i found something! runs.around.like.a.mad.scientist.waving.papers

look; while i was trying to play with wezelkrozums great gui-builder i came to realize the hint to “APPEND this to DefaultUI.ini, do not replace” … and then while sniffing around in DefaultUI.ini i was stumbling upon the following:

DefaultUI.ini

[ShooterGame.SGUIHUDMiniMap]
m_bUseRotatingMap=true
m_FiringFadeoutTime=2
m_MiniMapScale=0.3
m_MiniMapWidth=240
m_MiniMapHeight=135
m_MiniMapSpecWidth=290
m_MiniMapSpecHeight=185

i then changed width/heigth to double the values

m_MiniMapWidth=485
m_MiniMapHeight=270

and tadaa, the map was double the size. heureka!

Could someone maybe elaborate a bit on this? also what about the specwidth/-height? And why “the system” changed my doubled Width from 480 to 485?

I am really happy now to have found this … and at the same time i am really disappointed that this is not something pointed out by someone who should have experience with his/her game? Don’t you guys know your own cvars enough to point something like this out?

Anyhow, i can now expand my minimap, yay once more \o/
