Is it possible to resize the dungeon map?
« on: April 26, 2012, 02:08:49 pm »
I'm on 1920x1080 and the dungeon map is this tiny, useless bit in the corner that is basically impossible to read.

Press 'm' a few times and find the size you like.

EDIT: sorry I assumed you meant the chunk map.

Yeah, chunk map is fine but the dungeon map is mostly worthless.

I agree that the region map (I think is the appropriate term?) can be very small/hard to read at certain resolutions.  I, too, would like a way to resize it.

This sounds like a nice idea.  You should put it on Mantis!  :D

Looks like someone already suggested it, so I just supported it instead.

I can't find where on the Mantis bug reporter I had read this before, but it was x4000 stating something to the effect of:
"The dungeon map is more of a chart or a graph than a map, and because of the way we have implemented it, displaying it in a different format would make it very ugly."

I don't think he's asking to change the format.  Only to magnify it.

Yeah, I actually love graph maps.  I just have poor eyes and play at high resolutions, so I can't see it too well.

I wish I could have found the source for what I stated. It had some good stuff in it about why that wasn't feasible. Or maybe it was feasible, but they didn't like the outcome. I just can't remember.

There's one on UI scaling in general: http://www.arcengames.com/mantisbt/view.php?id=5100

But that doesn't seem to actually preclude simply including different dungeon map sizes, similar to the chunk map.

I seem to recall a question on the forum recently about whether it would be possible to have a key press draw one of the maps larger which was technically difficult due to the way that map was drawn, now you mention it, but I might have dreamed that.

I agree with this. I was surprised there was no option for it already, since it's possible to resize the chunk map. At 1920x1080, the lines that link the rooms together are 2 pixels wide and 6 pixels tall, and I have to move my face right up to it to be able to see.

Coming tonight in 1.002!

* The dungeon and region maps can now be resized based on a new "Dungeon And Region Map Scale" slider in the game tab of the settings menu.  It allows you to adjust them from 50% to 400% of normal size.

Great!  I won't have to resize the chunk map once every time I start the game!  8)

That's a totally different issue -- for the last 6+ months you could already set the area of your chunk map.  The new feature doesn't affect the scale of the chunk map (which already has its own adjustments), but rather only affects the dungeon and region maps.
