hey guys, I'm trying to add a minimap to my map before I release it.. (would be so nice to have a minimap, no? :P ) but when I follow the tutorial, it says that i need to type /exec minimap in console.. but when I do that, everything dissapears from the user interface; the gun, bullets count, map, perks etc.. and I have a clean view and can only see my bullet sparks and the map itself.. the thing it says in console is: Code: unknown cmd cg_drawversion unknown cmd cg_drawhud unknown cmd r_lodscale and I can use like all cheats etc in the game like "godmode" but I can't play the normal game as it used to be.. FX dissapears together with the "user interface".. anyone got any ideas? - 'Cause I'm out of ideas..

Hmm.. strange problem. Quote: PLEASE NOTE THAT DURING THESE NEXT STEPS YOU WILL MOST LIKELY GET A SCRIPT ERROR, WHEN THIS POPS UP HIT ENTER TO GET BACK INTO THE GAME. IT MAY OCCUR NON-STOP. HOWEVER THIS IS EASY STILL TO GET WHAT YOU NEED. CONSOLE COMMANDS WILL STILL WORK EVEN WITH THIS ANNOYING ERROR POP UP. So my guess is.. try again.

Well it doesn't say script error.. thats the funny part.. It just doesn't do anything.. maybe the causing problem is that I'm starting it via normal iw3mp.exe? -But I can't start it otherwise.. Via the step 5 in the compiler utility, won't work.. it just.. does nothing for MP maps.. (very strange though.. After my test1 map it didn't do anything for any other mp map!) maybe there is the problem? PS: I cant get developer_script enabled! -keeps saying it is write protected..

It's getting rid of the that stuff so you can take a clean screenshot of the map, that's what the command is supposed to do. Are you unable to use the minimap height 10000 command? (Can't remember what it is, hope you know what I am talking about.)

well does it matter what kind of screenshot it is? - i mean.. I can fly with gravity but i don't guess thats the thing we're supposed to do! also, the minimap height, i dunno what it does.. as i didn't get a picture as it doesn't show a view from the upper side.. and should i be spectator or player? or is this irrelevant?

There is a command in the tut, set scr_minimap_height 10000 or something (don't remember what it is exactly.) Do that and you will jump up to the right height for the screenshot. Developer must be enabled. (In compile tools or from console by typing "devmap mp_yourmap"). Problem with just floating up and taking the pic is it has to be a specific height or else it wont be properly calibrated with your actual player position on the minimap in game.
