[0.8.0] Minimap colours are off

Post by JackGruff »

The darkness of certain areas doesn't match the minimap. Why is the bright yellow patch to the right shown so dark on the minimap? It confuses the eye. The minimap colours should be an average of that specific terrain so that the eye can easily match the two.

Coal is also coloured or shown badly. At first, I thought it wasn't even showing up but I see it's actually some sort of grey. Making coal black on the minimap shouldn't conflict with anything as no other terrain is as dark as it.

I think we need two types of the minimap. One with the colors of the ground, and one where the ground has always the same color to distinguish between the "important things" (= coal, iron, copper, stone) and the not important things (= the color of the ground).

Yes, the colors of existing terrains were totally off.
I fixed these colors as well as changed the coal color to black, it is really much easier to see. (Prepared for 0.8.1)
