Looking forward for it.

Yeah! I'm glad to see this one back. I had some issues with the original, so I'll be game for giving the new one a test run.

Oh my goodness!! Thank you guys for reviving this mod. I've been hoping that someone would continue the development. Thank you thank you!!

Wow! I use the old one now, and it does have a few user-end shortnesses. Was unaware of the engine-end ones.

Look forward to the new release.

EDIT: And I love it anyway!

Ewr.....haven't I released this already? My bad...

The issue with the old one generating tons of files on my disk really threw me off. Good to see that the new version isn't going to do that anymore.

So... links?

No more use for release candidate.

Using 1.0RC here and everything seems just fine, except that the yellow arrow indicating the position of the player doesn't appear in either map. I have the setting for it enabled in the ini.

But other than that... wow, even the tress move to the wind in the minimap! What sort of sorcery have you used to make this!

I wonder, since it is a magic map, would it be a possible fun option to make it a spell that you have to buy and cast? I say this because when I walk around in life, I don't have a floating map that travels with me wherever I go.

Oh wait, I have an iPhone. Nevermind.

Ah yes, it seems the BSA (just grabbed it from the older versions) does not have the latest arrow texture. As for what sorcery made all this possible, I'll never tell....

Edit: If you'd like you can fix it by opening menus\prefabs\minimap\minimap_main.xml and change this line:

<_playerArrow_1> map\world_map_arrow_icon_alt.dds 

into this:

<_playerArrow_1> map\minimap\arrows\player_arrow_000.dds 

The texture is the same so that'll be how I'm gonna fix it. Don't wanna update the BSA...

While I'm pretty sure this was just semi-serious it is something that I've been playing with so I'm gonna reply anyways. Nothing concreet, just an easy-to-use system for other mods to do stuff like hiding the minimap or showing new, special icons (aka, adding radar support). But that'll have to wait until any potential bugs have been found and fixed. Oh and you also don't have a floating health bar in real-life telling you how health whoever it is that you beat up. And I'm pretty sure the government also doesn't want you to swing a big sword around either.

They may not want me to, but I can and do (occasionally).

So...

1- should I add this mod to my "final" compilation or could it cause strange bug/issues?

2- Does it have any bug that you already acknowledged and you'll be fixing in the next version?

3- Do you need me to help you by playtesting it?

4- What are you gonna add, or... what's left to do?

Thanks!

Compilation? I assume you mean your load order/list of mods? It should be stable to add to your list of mods. Nothing gets altered in this version so I'm 99% sure the only possible issues will be with the minimap itself. Like missing icons or perhaps wrongfully displayed info on the minimap. But if you just managed to get a stable loadorder I suggest waiting until I make a proper release. There are a few minor issues and I'll probably advise to make a clean save so adding this 'release candidate version' isn't really worth the possible trouble.

Thank you sir. Looking forward for your new version!

It is um......taking a little bit longer than expected due to an unexpected, highly resilient bug......

Take your time.

So... Any news on this highly resillient bug?

Impeccable timing! I'm gonna release it tonight!

Woooot!

Je bent ongelooflijk!

Oh, fun!

It's done!

Will upload a bunch of new pictures tomorrow. Gotta show off all the new goodies, right?

And for all you bug-hunters, please form an orderly line when waiting at the customer support desk.

Will we be able to see how long the current line is with the new mini-map?

Kyoma you're a genius. You and many others are keeping the modding community alive even though Skyrim was released a while ago. Thank you very much for your continued modding for Oblivion. I'll check it out as soon as I get home.
