Minimap dilemma!

[Bananarama1]

Hey there!

Quick question: Is it possible to keep the fog of war effect on every players minimap, and yet give them entire map visibility ingame? The camera is locked to one unit, so they can't move it across the map at will, but I want everything to be visible in that one fixed-sized screen. I disabled the black mask/fog, and that allowed the unit to see the entire screen desired, but the entire minimap was also on show, allowing them to see enemy positions, etc...

I know it is possible to replace the minimap with just a black image, but I still want discovered areas to be revealed on the map itself. So is it at all possible to reveal the map to the unit without the minimap being fully discovered?

I have tried just setting the unit's view distance to max, but doodads/other things don't show up, and the environment looks worse as a whole, as if it is permanently night.

Cheers!

Enable Fog of War again and change the units sight range to fit the screen size.

Change their sight range how? The object editor's sight range max isn't enough.

I take it that you have changed the distance to target with the camera function to more than the default?
I find it strange that it seems that you can't change this in the gameplay constants. Anyway, could you add an item, ability that give +sight range?
