Configuring alt_minimap mod

I'm using the alt minimap mod from Aslain's pack, but I'm finding that ship names are fixed on or off according to the tickbox in the menu - it doesn't respond to the Alt key as (I think) it should.

I'm guessing this is a configuration option in settings.xml.

Is there anybody who speaks Russian who'd be willing to tell me which bit of the file to modify?!

 

Thanks :)

I believe you have to set the ingame Alternative Interface Mode to Full and disable the show shipnames in the ingame minimap settings. At least this is what I have and it works just fine for me. When I press ALT it displays the ship names on the minimap, when I release the ALT key the shipnames are hidden.

Thanks, PurpleSmurf!

 

For any others with the same query, based on the info PurpleSmurf provided,

The version of settings.xml that is installed fresh at the moment has,

 

 

<altVision>
    <labels switchOnHold="false" active="false"/>
<!-- В новой версии этот тэг не поддерживается
    <sunked initial="false" isPermanent="false" switchOnHold="false"/>
-->
  </altVision>

 

I changed it to,

 

 

<altVision>
   <labels initial="false" isPermanent="false" switchOnHold="false" active="true"/>
<!-- В новой версии этот тэг не поддерживается
    <sunked initial="false" isPermanent="false" switchOnHold="false"/>
-->
  </altVision>

 

And it works. It may be that it's only the active=true part that's needed, but hey.

HI all,

 

While we are at "settings.xml" for the MiniMap MOD does anyone know if there is setting in it to rotate the ship names with the map?

 

The "vanilla" MiniMap rotates the ship names when the map itself is rotated...

I'm pretty sure you cannot.

 

Btw, is there a link to the most current version? Most of the download site claim it was updated, but it's still the version that was released in July.

Darn... :Smile_sad:

 

This is the only thing that Alt MiniMap MOD is missing... the rotation of ship names when MiniMap rotates itself...

Why would you rotate the minimap in first place? This is confusing af and it take longer to see what is going on than you have time in a heated battle.

Old habit... I started playing like that almost 30 months ago and can't switch (just like I can't switch to "Dynamic" crosshairs)...

 

BTW; the rotation of MiniMap is not confusing at all when you get used to it! :Smile_honoring:
