shot ping on compass

[SiqPuppy]

Installing this mod seems to disable the shot ping on the compass.  How can we turn this back on?

Thanks,

Siq

config/scrncontrol.cfg

That has just about all the options for the Minimap

Joker,

When we set ex_minimap_enemyping to 1 the enemies show up on the mini map all the time like there is continuous UAV.  We would like the enemy's shot to ping on the mini map, and then go away just like the regular game.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Siq

What do you have this set to?

set ex_force_minimap

Hey Joker, having the same issue here...

When players on the other team shoot, we don't see the red dot show up on the minimap

//******************************************************************************
//    mini-map on other than UAV and objects to show
//******************************************************************************
set ex_force_minimap 1         // 0=mini-map only on UAV, 1=mini-map on always
set ex_minimap_showobjicons 1         // Show objective icons 0=No, 1=Yes
set ex_minimap_enemyping 0         // Show Enemies 0=No, 1=Yes
set ex_minimap_playerping 1         // Show Player 0=No, 1=Yes
set ex_minimap_friendlyping 1         // Show Friendlies 0=No, 1=Yes
set ex_minimap_uavenemyping 1         // Show Enemy when UAV active 0=No, 1=Yes
set ex_minimap_tanks 1         // Show Tanks 0=No, 1=Yes
set ex_minimap_dogs 1            // Show Dogs 0=No, 1=Yes
set ex_minimap_planes 1         // Show Planes 0=No, 1=Yes
set ex_minimap_helicopter 1         // Show Helicopters 0=No, 1=Yes
set ex_minimap_squadobj 1         // Show Squad Objectives 0=No, 1=Yes
set ex_minimap_artillery 1         // Show Artillery 0=No, 1=Yes

Cheers for any help

Maybe if you change
set ex_minimap_enemyping 0 // Show Enemies 0=No, 1=Yes
to
set ex_minimap_enemyping 1 // Show Enemies 0=No, 1=Yes

Hi.. I changed it as you suggested though just makes the red dot stay on all of the time... Anything else you can suggest trying ?
Thanks

V2.5
No custom maps

[DoomSlayer]

try this one

set ex_minimap_enemyping 1 // Show Enemies 0=No, 1=Yes
set ex_minimap_playerping 1 // Show Player 0=No, 1=Yes
set ex_minimap_friendlyping 0 // Show Friendlies 0=No, 1=Yes


if that dosent work try this


set ex_minimap_enemyping 1 // Show Enemies 0=No, 1=Yes
set ex_minimap_playerping 0 // Show Player 0=No, 1=Yes
set ex_minimap_friendlyping 0 // Show Friendlies 0=No, 1=Yes


give that a try guys hope one of them work for ys

Thanks for the tips though still doesn't work.

Player position is either constantly showing or not at all.

Any other tricks I could  try ?

ya know, cod4 had a similar problem - the minimap's red dots were on all the time for enemy shooting.

that fix - because set ex_compass_uavenemyping is really Broken - was to do this in the cfg:

// compass enemies ping (only when they fire)
// 0 = disable (default)
// 1 = enable
set ex_compass_enemyping "0"

// compass enemies ping for uav (radar enabled map)
// 0 = disable
// 1 = enable (default)
set ex_compass_uavenemyping "0"

and to check some script in the _hardpoints.gsc - its all
HERE in this link.

So - it may sound stupid but if you set the following two highlit lines to 0  ... ?  - what happens ?

set ex_minimap_enemyping 0 // Show Enemies 0=No, 1=Yes

set ex_minimap_uavenemyping 0 // Show Enemy when UAV active 0=No, 1=Yes

Thanks for all your suggestions... tho still couldn't get it to work.

Decided to get rid of the cod5 server as it didn't get much response from our members and wasn't worth any more of my or you guys time troubleshooting it.

Still looking forward to V3 of the COD4 mod though !!  

Thanks again for your efforts. One thing for sure, the extreme community is one of the best !!
