Making all players visible on the world map

Ok well, you know how when you are in a squad your squad members are visible to you via the map so you can see their location?

Is there any way that anyone knows of that I could make this function for every player not just those in a squad... So basically you can see where every single player is on the map at every single time.

I just started to think about this idea and decided before I looked further into it I would ask a question on the forums as someone out there may know some way of doing it that would save me a hella lot of time.

I would assume that it is in the elementclient.exe which makes it difficult perhaps even impossible, but if I can find the line where it is I might be able to give a few things a go...

So yeah if anyone knows where it is in elementclient.exe or wherever else it is, that would be very helpful :D

I don't think it's possible. Plus, it will screw up your server cuz it will need more cpu usage to refresh the coords of every players to other players.

Yeah...

I was thinking it would be pretty hard to do, and for the cpu useage, my server is just a small private server atm with about 10 players so it would be fine.

It would be cool to find a way to do this :(

I guess you could make another exe file that connects to the server and displayes the coords of each player but I think it would be hard to intergrate into the client.

Although I wonder if it really is hardcoded into the element client, afterall you can see players on the minimap so it might be possible to extend that to the main map. Also in tw you can see your fac on the map... I will do some looking into files tomorrow :P

Well, the mini-map can do that. And you can press buttom "T" to see the closest players...

See every player of the world map is a waste of processing power, time, and it wouldn't be cool.

What about: "A player decide to do an 'find me' event by his own."?

And I don't think that it's only a server-side function.

The main reason that I want it for my server is because we have a small amount of players, less than 10 and with ~10 people, the game becomes rather empty as the PW map is rather large, but with the option to find people easy, players will be able to find others, pk spots and go hang out with each other easier

no it is not possible in the game. Only by means of creating a web page map, which will be given places players in the game. A simple query to the database on the status of Chara. And also to provide the status of the player. Sorry for my English.

Yup that's the only thing possible to do. And it was already made by the past. But the script was made for mssql...

Here take a look http://forum.ragezone.com/f694/pw-uw...5/#post4753812

EDIT: Sorry wrong project... The project I mentioned was on another forum but the forum is dead now so the project is lost...

I would think it would be possible, but likely hard. the server knows where everyone is at any given time, so we know it keeps track already
how else would GMs be able to jump around the map at will to any player they choose?
