 Map Room w/ Actor and Terrain Display *Update
Doing math and writing equations during most of your time will give you headaches. So I decided to take a little break from high-level modding by playing L4D2 and making smaller mods, like this one.

Image

This is a room with a screen in it that displays the terrain layout and marks the positions of actors. It causes nearly no lag, and has the terminal from the First Signs mission.

Legend:
Red - Red team actors
Green - Green team actors
Blue - Blue team actors
Yellow - Yellow team actors
White - Actors on no team
White X - The screen

Change Log:
-Screen is larger
-Room background is changed
-Weapons are displayed on screen

Credits:
CaveCricket48 - Ini code, Lua scripting
Geti and MaximDude - Room background sprite

This is what the minimap data will make should look close to, very useful.

Yeah, there's that, but frankly Cricket's looks a metric shitton better than that dotted line based minimap.

Good job once again Cricket! (PS: if you can get this thing to selectively hover over an actor's head when a key is pressed, you will be crowned as almighty god of sparkle magic!)

EDIT: Semi-Ninja'd :evil:

Code:
GetTerrMatter(x,y)
Gets a specific pixel from the total material representation of this Scene. LockScene() must be called before using this method.
Arguments: The X and Y coordinates of screen material pixel to get.
Return value: An unsigned char specifying the requested pixel's material index.
Coupled with some i/o on base.rte/materials.ini -> draw the material's colour (that or do a table of rgb from palette.bmp).

Only feature missing as far as I can see. Still awesome, A+ :)

Awesome. Like always.
Can't really expect something else from you CC. :D

May I suggest a better looking BG for the module?

Those vanilla squares that are used to remove terrain, I don't like those. Make 'em prettier and I'll use the sprite.

Bah, i'm just throwing it out because I have nothing to do with it.
I'm too lazy to do any changes. :/

Updated. Larger screen for higher resolution, different room background, and weapon display.

CC48, you are just wonderful.

Now more time ambushing, and less time guessing.
