Procedurally generated textures

[thorbeck]

Hello all,

Been searching around the forums for some answers and I seem to be getting pretty close to what I want to accomplish.
My latest issue however, concerns the map generated for the radar/minimap displayed on the battlefield and the arc that's created to display your field of view.

Basically I'm working on a small project changing several UI elements of the game, and the static stuff is easy enough to modify, but I'm having a hard time finding the dynamic/procedural elements of the radar/minimap.

Any pointers are most welcome.

Regards,
thorbeck

Just to clarify what I'm looking for.

I want to edit the radar MAP, not the framing or buttons around it, but the actual file(s) used to created the minimap.

ANY tips are most welcome.

I'm quite sure the files used to create the radar map are largely the same as the ones used to create the battlemap. The way the battlemap itself is generated from the heights and ground-type maps and associated txt files is contained in descr_geography.db (editable with a hex editor).

Now if you want to know if there's a way to change/vary the way a given battlemap is represented on the minimap without changing the actual battlemap........that I do not know.

Aye it sure sounds like the logic way to do it, sadly.
I'll do some testing and report back.
