Completed Add a Radar/Minimap

[felinee1 48]

Radar takes up too much space and it shouldn't show enemies, maybe just for rookies till the rank of Corporal this option should be available.. Coordinated manouvres can be sine through chat and no map is too big that you don't have a clue of what's going on..

 

In my proposal the map would be a pop-up window, like the game stats window activated by the tab key.  This does not take up any battle screen real-estate.  The map would be used to familiarise/learn a new map (especially a large map), not to coordinate manouvres.

stealth?!

?

[BlueDragon_tamki 3,204]

On a large map that just makes you see less of the map -_-

yeah like Berlin and Duffelsohf (can't spell this right)

There are many gold box drop locations and many maps to choose from. I think it would be useful to have small radar in one of the corners of the screen that slowly unlock as you perform certain things in the battle. For instance, a red or blue marker for taking and or capturing a flag in CTF, a grey marker for points in CP and a white marker in the location of a gold box you have caught there. Another example is this: let`s say you catch a gold box in a popular course, say Sandbox. A white marker will now appear on your map. If another gold box ever drops in Rio, then one of two things will happen, 1. nothing at all, meaning it is not in a place that you have caught it in before. 2. The white dot will blink red, meaning that is where the gold is, also meaning you have caught it there before. Also I think it would be cool if when you unlock all the gold box drop locations in a map the icons turn gold. ( If gold drops, icon remains to blink red as normal.) Also, this topic would not be complete if it didn`t have where your tank was! I say it should be marked by a green arrow that moves as you do.

 

Balances: it does not show other players for various reasons: sniping, ambushes, lag ( Imagine Madness 20v20!)

It will not show the current location of your flag if be carried by another tank, only if on the ground.( ruins idea of hiding and defending the flag.) 

 

If you guys are thinking of an idea for a new, fun, original contest, my idea is... The only thing I can say is (variable p=players variable c = crystals variable sp = special prizes) p players get gold drop location on all maps get c crystals or sp Tanki prizes, Ipad, Dream Tank etc. This is just a start. I`m sure your team can think of the rest! I hope you take my idea into consideration. -TheTurboTank

Don't let it show the enemy but let it show your fellow team mates. It well help with team battles.

There would be an update that in supplies there would be a gps or radar from the help of that we can track enemies easily it will be a high advantage for shafts.

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

I agree that it would be nice to know where your enemys are when you are playing with a long range turret but a Radar would make playing with shaft too easy

Umm... I think that(this is not just me, i think this is everyone) shafts are already very overpowered and they already have a scope for accuracy so I don't see why we should add another supply to make it more powerful.

 

On the other hand, I think that we should be able to access a radar/gps that can track down all of your teammates on the map(not enemies). This could be put into PRO battles or just in regular battles.

[Earth 1,091]

Yeah, imagine  - already in these days there are mammoth-shaft campers with drugs, if they got radar = impossible to play and would ruin fun

Hello Topic in an already was created for new << supplies . >> Link : http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=243958&page=36&hl=%2Bnew+%2Bsupply&do=findComment&comment=5308895

[TheRollingSlab 803]

Dude seriously there are separate topics for all of these ideas that you have mentioned

[Gigalink 116]

If we add radar, we should make it to where you only see teammates and enemies that open fire.

[Darren4Turbo 4,913]

That will totally demolish the idea of camouflaging and hiding in the enemy base. Thus, Sneaking around in the enemy base will be impossible making the real time action of the game less interesting.

Next time, if you have any ideas regarding supplies, post them in the Ideas for Supplies! instead of creating a topic for every supply idea as it will only mess up the section and cause flood.

Its a supply for just 1 min not every one will activate it for forever u can easily sneak out in enemy bases and you will be able to see if the enemy activated it

[Ultromod 8]

It will be weird. Also, you can VERY easily know where your enemies are camping and stuff.

This has been suggested many times and I keep repeating the same thing - Tanki Online UI is made to be as simple as possible, so that you can focus on the gameplay without having to look around your screen to press various buttons. The minimap will take up a large portion of the screen, becoming a big distraction. Besides, the maps in Tanki are quite small and the tanks move fast, so a minimap would be unnecessary.

For wo2 suggestion its way better then some majors give. YOU need to be more nicer to lil players -,- u didnt say anything nice apart from scared lil sweetie from posting anymore suggestions -.-

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

What would be the point in being a sniper anymore?

[DragonOfStorms 2,706]

It would be great if pressing a key (eg. the shift key) would display a pop-up plan of the battle map, with a dot to indicate your tank's position.  It could also display the location of control points in CP, and the home flag base positions in CTF games. 

 

This would help when learning a new map.  Obviously, it is not very useful for small maps (eg. Island), but would be useful for very large and complicated maps. 

 

[Apologies if this has been previously suggested]

This would be AWESOME! It could also show the positions of friendly players. But NOT opposing players, that would be bad.

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

I agree with Dragon. It could be added but it shouldn't show enemys only friendlys

[imic_EN 15]

Hey! You must add Mini-map on Tanki that shows Capture-Points places and gold box drop zone(s) (when dropping) and Flag-base places, Also you must add new power-up that is called Sonar its effect should be showing enemies nearby for limited time. I hope you consider this in any future update and make the developers see this topic. :) ;)

Good reason to know when to come out of hide out when camping :D
