[Craft-devel] Scrolling, control panel and minimap

[Martin W. <meh...@we...>]

Hey,

I've just committed a major update of my sources to CVS. First of all
I've completely revised the scrolling borders. The player is now not
able to leave the map too far but as far as it should be to see even the
units at the border. Second, I worked on using Arne's minimap since he
was so kind to implement it ;) . The result is a half transparent
control panel at the bottom of the screen with the minimap at the left
side. I also implemented that the current screen clip is displayed in
the minimap. Apart from that the control panel has no further functions.
Currently I'm working on that the player can click into the minimap and
the "big" map jumps also to that position.

Sry, Arne, but I had to add a few lines to your map.cpp since they were
a really big danger for hardware damage or even program crashes: the
minimap surface has to be locked / unlocked before / after the use of
drawPx(). This is also written in the source documentation for
CVideo::drawPx(). And because you were not reachable, I had to do this,
just before the first users complain about broken hardware ;)

Regards,

- Martin
