they removed ren_minimap_viewport from the game

[Cazka]

we used the minimap viewport to find out the players fov.

Other ways to find players fov:

• size of a background tile
• whenever a square is seen, use its side length to calculate fov.

[Cazka]

I have to correct myself. fov still works. what doesn't work is getting arena size anymore.

[Cazka]

also getting camera position doesn't work anymore

[supahero1]

The background lines' opacity decreases with increased FoV. Just check for that to get FoV in a portable manner.

[Cazka]

yeah, the current method uses the opacity of the lines.

Getting the camera position is currently the problem

[supahero1]

Why? Can't you just get your triangle from the minimap?

[Cazka]

nope, since the triangle is player position. Camera position changes based on movement + when using predator tank.

working on a PoC that uses the games memory.
