Para_InteractiveMapSystem

This plugin adds a minimap system that provides a professional HUD and a fully interactive, full-screen Mega Map scene.

Features:

🧭  Minimap

A sytlish minimap that lives in the corner of your screen .

• Dynamic Toggle System: Players can cycle through Small (minimap), Large (minimap), or Hidden states with a single keypress.
• Vision Cone: A direction-indicator that glows.
• Flexible Styles: Supports both standard rectangular maps and a tracking Circular Radar style.
• Fog of War: Maps can start pitch black and reveal themselves as the player explores, rewarding discovery and completionists.

🗺️ The Big Map Scene (Mega Map)

An interactive map experience that works on every map in your game. Unlike static images, this scene renders live event data and player position.

• Interactive POIs: Hover over icons to see a location's name, a unique description, and a preview image.
• Full Navigation: Supports smooth mouse-panning, scroll-wheel zooming, and keyboard-based scrolling.
• Optional Fast Travel: Once a location is "Explored," players can simply click the icon to teleport there instantly. (For Overworld maps etc.)
• Seamless Integration: Cycle directly from the HUD states into the full Mega Map scene using your designated map key or use a item.

⚡ Plug-and-Play Setup

• Automatic Coordinate Logic: Forget manual tracking and variables. The plugin automatically calculates the player's position, event locations, and movement vectors across your custom map images. Whether your map is 20 x 20  or 200 x 200, the math is handled for you.

• The "Save as Image" Workflow: Use MZ’s built-in "Save as Image" feature on your map list (right-click the map name), save the file to img/pictures, and the plugin handles the rest.

• Automatic Terrain: If you don't have custom art yet, the plugin can automatically render terrain blocks based on your map’s passability.
  
  
• Doodad Compatible: Fully supports VisuStella Doodads—your decorative map assets will appear on the UI layer.

💡 Optimization Tips For Best Quality:

I recommend exporting your maps at a 1:1 scale for the best quality with no blur.
If your map is massive, the 1:1 export might result in a large file size. I highly recommend compressing your images (using tools like TinyPNG or OptiPNG) before putting them in your project to keep loading times fast and performance smooth!
