is there a way for this?

no,

the minimap is created client-side from the tiles the server sends in. The client doesn't get minimap tiles as a separate entity.

so its possible? i suppose i could ask for ur help? :p

It would be possible to make client cache some tiles and even display them. I doubt you would be able to interact with objects on those tiles. Probably it would cause additional issues such as you click one object but the client thinks you clicked something else and make you go elsewhere. In any case that would be pretty complicated stuff to do and the effect would be hardly worth it.

No, he can't do anything there besides caching map tiles client side, which would probably be the easiest solution.

You have to ask JC to make the server generate the minimap tiles and make them available to the client.


After thinking about this for a moment, I'd say client caching is fine, and shouldn't be too hard to do.
But if the server were to generate and provide minimap tiles from further away, it would suddenly become much, much more easy to find things while walking around, I doubt that would be good.
