[v7.6] [INTERNATIONAL] [johnbl] MinimapCursorPlugin

[johnbl]

All credits go to User5981. I just extracted the part of his HuntersVengeancePlugin that draws a cursor on the minimap and exposed the configuration.
Here's what it looks like:


Download: MinimapCursorPlugin.cs

Install:
Save as plugins/johnbl/MinimapCursorPlugin.cs

Customization:
Default theme customization 101

Settings (paste this in the Customization part of User/PluginEnablerOrDisablerPlugin.cs):

// Settings for Minimap Cursor Plugin
Hud.RunOnPlugin<johnbl.MinimapCursorPlugin>(plugin => 
{ 
    plugin.ShowInTown = true;
    plugin.MiniMapVisorDecorator = new WorldDecoratorCollection(
    new MapShapeDecorator(Hud)
    {
        Brush = Hud.Render.CreateBrush(255, 255, 255, 255, 1), // Alpha, Red, Green, Blue, Width
        ShapePainter = new PlusShapePainter(Hud), // List of shapes in plugins\Default\ShapePainters
        Radius = 15,
    },
   
    new MapShapeDecorator(Hud)
    {
        Brush = Hud.Render.CreateBrush(255, 255, 255, 255, 1),
        ShapePainter = new CircleShapePainter(Hud),
        Radius = 10,
    }
    ); 
});  
// End of Settings for Minimap Cursor Plugin

I'm not sure what this plugin does exactly

Show on minimap position of your ingame cursor.

Really good plugin but play with it 2hr and im little confused. With more time im probably get used to and will be better

As MrOne said, it shows the position of your mouse cursor on the minimap. I noticed that I look more at the minimap than the actual screen when doing fast runs, so being able to see where the mouse is pointed without looking at the screen is very useful for me.

Settings (paste this in the Customization part of User/PluginEnablerOrDisablerPlugin.cs):

    // Settings for Minimap Cursor Plugin
    Hud.RunOnPlugin<johnbl.MinimapCursorPlugin>(plugin => 
    { 
        plugin.PlusSize = 10;
        plugin.PlusAlpha = 255;
        plugin.PlusRed = 255;
        plugin.PlusGreen = 255;
        plugin.PlusBlue = 255;
        plugin.PlusWidth = 1f;
        plugin.CircleSize = 5;
        plugin.CircleAlpha = 255;
        plugin.CircleRed = 255;
        plugin.CircleGreen = 255;
        plugin.CircleBlue = 255;
        plugin.CircleWidth = 1f;
    });  
    // End of Settings for Minimap Cursor Plugin  

your discribed settings will not work, because the variables are used during "loadingTime" of Hud.
"customization time" is after "loading time", but the values are never used after "loading time"

use:

Hud.RunOnPlugin<johnbl.MinimapCursorPlugin>(plugin => {
    //plus
    (plugin.MiniMapVisorDecorator.Decorators[0] as MapShapeDecorator).Brush = Hud.Render.CreateBrush(Alpha,Red,Green,Blue,Width);
    //circle
    (plugin.MiniMapVisorDecorator.Decorators[1] as MapShapeDecorator).Brush = Hud.Render.CreateBrush(Alpha,Red,Green,Blue,Width);
});

Thanks for the heads up gjuz. Can I just move MiniMapVisorDecorator into the PaintWorld function? That way my customization code works, but I don't know if there are other consequences.

You should avoid creating brushes/fonts inside the paint method.
This would lead to heavy memory usage.(paint methods run more than 60 times per second and Load is only run once ;p)

[johnbl]

I was afraid of something like that.

If I create a secondary method, let's say public SetMiniMapDecorator() and put the creation of the decorator inside it, would it work?

[JackCeparou]

Well, you can do that and tell your users to make a call to it after changing other values like

Hud.RunOnPlugin<MinimapCursorPlugin>(plugin => { 
   plugin.PlusSize = 42; 
//other custom values 
  plugin.SetMiniMapDecorator(); 
});  

Or simply let users redefine the whole decorator collection :

Hud.RunOnPlugin<MinimapCursorPlugin>(plugin => { 
    plugin.MiniMapVisorDecorator = new WorldDecoratorCollection( 
            new MapShapeDecorator(Hud) 
            { 
                Brush = Hud.Render.CreateBrush(255, 255, 255, 255, 1), 
                ShapePainter = new PlusShapePainter(Hud), 
                Radius = 15, 
            }, 
            
            new MapShapeDecorator(Hud) 
            { 
                Brush = Hud.Render.CreateBrush(255, 255, 255, 255, 1), 
                ShapePainter = new CircleShapePainter(Hud), 
                Radius = 10, 
            } 
            ); 
});

I made this mistake, causing a serious memory leak

yes you can do that. i would call that method init(), with a boolean to set if init() was called once in paintworld
or jacks version

I can't seem to get this to work on HC mode, have I fucked something up?

[johnbl]

I have no idea because I don't have any free character slots to create a new HC character.
But I can't find anything in the code restricting it to SC.

Is it working for you on SC?

Hi,
Nice plugin, i love it...

My question:

How to make sure that the cursor is in front of all other information on the minimap because when there are elite blue and orange, we no longer see the cursor !

Thanks

Some analysis has to be made on the Elite/Unique monsters plugin.
Do you know if it's possible to set the alpha value for those?
If yes, you could try to set it to a slightly lower value than what you're using for the cursor.
