why does it need updating more then once a second? or worded differently, isnt any update rate higher then that just luxus?
Well, it seems to behave a little oddly: some parts are updated while others are updated somewhat later, resulting in a very "jumpy" minimap. It's as if you have the "ghost buildings on minimap" bug all the time. I'll see if I can have one of the new coders look at it again, though.
It is sufficient for a full-size map overview (which I will get around to as well). A minimap, I'm not so sure of.
What might work is for anyone in the squad to press ALT-1 or 2..5 and in the minimap the player associated with that position in the squad flashes on the minimap. You would have to remember which the revive engie is and hit his number if that is the one you are looking for - etc... That should not be too complicated to code up since the flash already exists when you do FAAW - "Air Support", blinks the player on the commanders mini-map.
