Hey folks...........quick question that I hope someone here can shed some light on.rnrnFor some reason people in my server can't see teammates in the minimap while in the same building, etc. It's definitely not a plugin that I put there.......so how did that happen? Is it some sort of minimap command?rnrnAnyone? :D

I would suggest for someone who can see people with minimap just get there config file and override yours, you will lose your spray binds etc. but it let me get everything back when I did it.

Ah I can't remember what it's called, but its one of the cl_dm ones, I believe.

This problem is server side and not client side. I have looked over the config files in the server and it all seems to be ok.......ugh......

get a plugin that forces certain commands on clients and force cl_minimap 1 on them then see if that the trick.

I tried that and nothing. I think it's a simple command that was accidentally changed.....but I don't know which one!! booo!

nnThat's wrong by the way. It's cl_dmsmallmap <1/0> (1 being on; 0 being off) Try doing that. Hopefully it works.

Actually, it's cl_dmshowplayers 1rnrncl_dmsmallmap just allows you to show it in the top-right corner (rather than simply "on" or "off")rnrnTony, there is no server command that controls that. I know because I have been searching for a way to control that server-sided for almost a year now. I figured out how to do it recently, but I haven't released that as it's not perfected. And it's a plugin, not a console command.rnrnSo it's not server sided - it's client sided. Ask a random pubber if he can see his teammates on the minimap - I bet he says yes.

I'm telling you that each and every person has the same minimap issue. nnMan this is pissing me off. It makes no sense. I've double checked everything including configs and plugins.

Hlguard 1.8 has that issue, personally I like it, you can only see who you could "see" on the map, nothing like not knowing if its your teammate comming around the corner while waiting for help to cap.rnrnHlguard 1.9n10 does not have the above "problem" so you might upgrade. You get it from the forums not the download section. Don't forget to get the updated configs etc. from the other forum topics.rnrnIn regard to the problem tho I visited a reality server and it changed all my binds so I can only see the big map and cannot zoom etc.rnrnWhen you get your userconfig.cfg file just right I suggest you "ReadOnly" it.

It was set to read-only, so I don't know how that setting was changed. rnrnAnyhow the minimap thing is cool and more realistic if that's what you want.rnrnTo each it's own I guess.
