Subscreen Editor Minimap not functional in 346

4 replies · 1,304 views · Started 04 June 2007

When making a minimap in the subscreen editor for this build, neither the map, Link, or the compass marker appear in the subscreen when played. I have never gotten this to work, and serveral others have expressed the same problem.

Are you trying to put it on a passive or active subscreen? Are you sure you're setting the colors correctly in the minimap properties?

I am trying to put the small map on the passive subscreen, as it is supposed to be. It has a display property as always, and the colors are as follows:
Link Color: Link's Pos
C. Blink Color: Compass (Lt)
C. Const Color: Compass (Dk)

When I look at the default minimaps, these are the exact colors and attributes that it uses. I can get it to work by simply edting an existing subscreen, or using tile blocks instead of a "real" minimap, but I thought that it was a notable bug nonetheless.

Yep, there's a GUI bug in ZQuest that hid the stuff on the "attributes" page, including checkboxes that need to be checked to show the map, Link, and compass. Fixed in the next build.
