Firestone ingame map

Suggestion Thread for the In-game Map

The map we currently have is pretty good for it being experimental, definitely a great edition for new members trying to get used to the county. Currently from speaking with a couple of others, I have gathered a few points which can improve the map. These points can be found below:

  • A better directional arrow. The current directional arrow is thicker in width than length, it’s not always clear from first glance to where the arrow is actually pointing.
  • A compass on the full map. Something simple like the image below which can be located on a corner of the full map screen to show which direction is north. (prom is north). Currently people might mistake greendale for being the top of the map.
    image
  • Grids. Grids can be really helpful for everyone. This would only be seen on the full map and would help people explain locations to others and it would also greatly help on the waters to state the location of vessels etc.
  • The ability to zoom out to a full map. Currently depending on where you are on the map, certain areas are cut off, having the ability go zoom out fully to have an image of the full map would be helpful for the grid.

As always this thread is open for people to comment regarding my current suggestions and to also state what they think should be improved before it goes out of experimental.

im gonna level w/ you for a second here… the zoom function is probably not going to happen because roblox does not support .SVG images :bath::bath::bath:

In that event I’d just suggest having it full size no matter what position you are in the map just to be able to use the grid option

The current arrow is a placeholder for now. We intend on updating it.

Not a bad idea, will look into it.

Also not a bad idea for the next render update.

Zoom functionality is possible with set increment levels. I’ll look into this and see how it goes.

I personally think you should make the minimap and all other guis enablable via a button or through the menu gui in the right corner. This is so we can get better cinematic shots also for people who play on small screens. Just thought I would say it now so its an option.

iirc they dont support svgs because it takes up too many resources to be able to render at 60fps :man_shrugging:

you can acomplish the same effect of an svg on roblox by rasterising an svg at multiple scales.
