Hello,

as my base grows larger i was thinking is it possible to force the minimap to display more maptiles then the one u spawned on? aka display the whole base if its size exceeds the map?

I doubt that's possible

yup marp said its impossible, altho it would be nice, my base is almost double or 4 times the screen size already and i cant keep track when i port in and only half the base is shown.

JC halp pls?

Giving players access to a larger chunk of the map causes issues for countless reasons. Without a massive fundamental re-write and re balance of countless systems I don't see size of the map chunks being given to clients changing anytime soon.

Would a small loan of $1,000,000 change you mind?

does it always have to be the map AND minimap or can the minimap tiles be loaded away from the map?

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.

lol he would probobly be more likely to do it if it wasn't a loan, he would have to pay it back

That shouldnt be too difficult then.
Then methods for creating it from the map are there,
you just need to have the server handle it, and provide it too the client, the added traffic should not be noticeable either.
