Hello! I recently purchased the pro version of this plugin and I can't seem to get the tilemap to work. I have the note in my map, I have the minimap settings configured but every time I load up the scene it is just a plain white square for the minimap. The map does not update or show icons. It does not show any walls or other things. Do you have any advice for me?

Hi there! :)

So, if you are creating the minimap using the tilemap, you need to have two things set properly:

1 - The <TileMinimap> note tag on the map's note. It is case-sensitive. Show me a screenshot so I know that you did it right.

2 - Setup the TileMinimap Colors. Go into the plugin parameters > Common Settings > Tileset Colors

Take a look at the help file to understand the priority of each section. Basically, the Minimap will always be painted with the color of the highest priority. 

In the case above, if you are on a BUSH tile, the minimap will paint it green. But, if on that same Bush tile, you have a terrain Id as 0 or 1. it will paint the terrain tag colors(White or DarkRed).

If you do not want to use a color for something, just leave it empty.

But I also just find a bug while testing this, leaving the terrain tag colors empty, resulting in a crash. I will be fixing this issue tomorrow.

----------------

Now, about the icons, you need to show me how you setup them up. By using the templates on the plugin parameters or by note tags/comments.

Let's find that problem :)

Alright I figured it out and got it fixed, for others who may have had a similar problem I will explain.

I did not set up the terrain tags for my tileset so everything was acting as tiletag 0. Setting those up easily fixed that. The reason I did not have a player Icon work for the minimap is because I did not have a character image for the player actor. (the reason for this was because I am creating a first person dungeon crawler so I did not have a character sprite on the actor.)


Thank you for your help and great plugins Hakuen.

Nice you manage  to make everything work!

Have fun!
