Convoy - no users name shown in mini-map interface [MODs][168831]

[Jbte]

First of all, thank you to the SCS team for the implementation of mods into multiplayer, especially map mods, which surely will expand our experience further to other users in the community. Thank you again!

-I've just used Reforma 2.1.8.3 (from 1.41 transfer to 1.42 in the manifest.scs, I haven't done a map recompile in editor or save), no other mods used than the map mod.

Everything worked perfectly well except you can't see other player's location in the map UI or mini map and the in the map overall, just in the convoy routes map you can see the location of other players. Is either a bug of the game or something that must be changed over the map mod (maybe including an additional def file to work into the map file), please let me know so I can do the proper fixes as a map modder. I'm sorry if this doesn't belong to 1.42 bug reports, but I couldn't fin another place to post this problem or doubt.

Another minor issue I found;

You can see, the last picture is from a friend in the session, however, he see me using California plate, while in reality, I was using New Mexico plates, as you can see in the first picture. It's just a small detail which I guess you should know.

This is known. QA168831

As for the plates not matching, I believe this has been a bug since Convoy has been around.

Indeed known problem but also looks like it is a problem from map mods.

Here's what my colleague wrote:

There is new flag for map displays that tells engine if it should generate and show multiplayer icons. This option is disabled with this mod.
Option is called `map_items_flags` in case of adviser map. My guess would be that mod author did copy whole configuration to change some small stuff and as we did update this in our data he did not have a chance to update his yet.

Specifically issue is inside `/def/map_data.sii`

As for the license plates, it is also a known issue.

Here are the proper flags to set in your map_data.sii file to make the names show up

Code: Select all

map_items_flags[0]: 0x685FFF
map_items_flags[1]: 0x685FFF
map_items_flags[2]: 0x685FFF
map_items_flags[3]: 0x685FFF
map_items_flags[4]: 0x685FAF	// target, cities, roads, gas stations, dealers, recruitments, garages, companies, parkings, services, trailers, cutscene
map_items_flags[5]: 0x685FAF	// target, cities, roads, gas stations, dealers, recruitments, garages, companies, parkings, services, trailers, cutscene
map_items_flags[6]: 0x685487	// target, cities, roads, gas stations, parkings, trailers, cutscene
map_items_flags[7]: 0x481402	// target, cities, trailers

Man, how you fix this? please tell to me

[Madkine]

You need to add certain data (see the posts above yours) to the map mod.

What I must add to map data.sii for a convoy member to appear on F3?
