remove minimap delimiter

[SnuggleSnail]

I'm too lazy to post a vanilla version (maybe somebody from norsca will be nice enough to), but this looks so much better than on vanilla. There's 2 tiles of black between every color change on vanilla and it makes everything look deep fried.


edit: here's some of iskra's examples
Everything looks so much worse on the mini-map than in game because of the delimiter

x1.
Seems like a reasonable enough request.

art aside, even the way i like to use a variety of paving materials in my base makes it look terrible on the minimap. just a mess of dark streaks.
i understand the visual clarity it can provide in some circumstances but the negatives outweigh the positives IMO

Bump.

I think this is one of those things that maybe not everybody will care about, but for the pixel art nerds will be a huge deal and it shouldn't take very long.
Half of the custom clients do it already, but not seeing the world the same as others in an MMO is a li'l off

i dunno what a delimiter is but i agree that my paving looks annoyingly ugly on the minimap sometimes

I totally get the frustration with the minimap delimiter. It makes some beautiful builds look like a mess. The visual of dark streaks just ruins the experience, especially for those of us who appreciate pixel art.

Here’s hoping the devs consider this change; it's clearly a quality of life improvement for many. Plus, having a consistent view would just improve the community vibe overall.

Here for example, that long heart shape isn't supposed to be filled in black inside nor outside.
Those black delimiters can ruin pixelarts. And I agree that artists should decide what to contour by themselves.

But those delimiters give contrast to different biomes, which I think is good.

So I'd vote to only remove the delimiters on different stones pavement (pixel art) but keep them for biomes borders.
Basically just considering all stones types as a unique one when drawing the map.

The minimap just needs a "biome outlines" toggle

+1 great idea, easy to add
