The overlay
The map and notifications right over the game
Elements
- a mini map: you in the center, north up, zoom up to ×16, arrows on you and your teammates show where each player is heading; with “Game style” on you are a yellow circle with a direction and teammates are green dots with nicknames;
- notifications: medium and high ones pop up as one card and fade on their own, high ones in red;
- event history: alarms, decay, deaths and low-importance notifications, with a configurable time range;
- game time and online.
Elements can be added, removed and moved, as many of one kind as you like. The overlay follows the server you are playing on. If the connection drops, the mini map turns gray and says “No connection”.
Editing
In edit mode an element is dragged as a whole. It snaps to the window edges and to its neighbors. Resize it by any corner or side, or type an exact size in the element settings.
Look
There are two styles: “In-game” and “No background”. Size and opacity are shared by the whole overlay.
