First off, putting in FOV will definitely help any overlays out there.
The only other thing I’d like to see in the Mumble data is a flag if the map is opened. Because… opening the map pretty much breaks every application that relies on the Mumble (camera) data.
I know the programmer who made the overlay mentioned in the first post, and I have done some minor overlay programming myself. I believe the above is not 100% necessary. I think we got around this problem by detecting the position of the camera, which actually goes into a height that is only obtainable by going into map view. So you can just detect the height of the camera and use that to see if the user has opened his map.
Even more exciting would be to know the dimensions of the currently shown portion of the map while in map view or even on the mini map – but I think currently my own project would be the only one benefitting from that, so I don’t really think it’s worth the effort.
Edit: Oh there actually is something that’s missing in the Mumble position data, which is the current floor on the map. Unfortunately we can’t convert player position to floor through the web APIs.
I agree with both of the above. We have so far been unable to do any kind of overlaying over the in-game map because we have no idea where on the map the user is focused, nor do we know how zoomed the user is. So to be able to overlay over the in-game map we would need to know the zoom level and relative position on the map the user is looking. Floor would also be extremely helpful.
I tried the giver’s armor on my guardian with “Retreat!”, and it does not appear to be affected by the extra boon duration on the giver’s armor.
