minimap anchoring

[Roger Smith]

was wondering if its possible for objects on the minimap to get anchored to the edge rather than going away when they go out of range. is this moddable or is it already an option.

I don't think it is possible to do this at this point. I know what you mean though. The only thing we can do is anchor the minimap in general, keeping if from going in circles based on player movement.

I just keep my minimap zoom button handy. That way if I need to know where something is, i just hit N (in my case) and it's not that big of a deal, but, I don't think they will implement what you are suggesting at this point.

not even through modding?

It can probably be done through modding, but it would require a total overhaul of the way the minimap/UAV/Spotting works.

If you wanted to add it to a mod, that is different. I think then it could be a possibility. I doubt that is one of the things that is hard coded into BF2.

I saw a jet pilot who had his map rotation to the "Follow Player" option. I was just wondering if once you get over the initial "this is weird" phase if it's any more useful that the static option.

Re: minimap anchoring

i tried the follow player option.

even when you get used to it - it's the SAME

one exception, when someone says "north" you have to check the compass instead of saying "that means up" (which is north in static map).

Mods are able to change alot of things of BF2. But I doubt that the minimap is adjustable in the way you want it...

Re: minimap anchoring

Depending on your level of team-play, I'd suggest not going with the 'follow player' option. We had a guy take off in a HUMVEE at the start of a match 'cuase what I was referring to as the East of the map was different for him - he used his mini map to determine where he was supposed to go lol.
