Min-map Trouble

Min-map Trouble

Hey all. I'm having some trouble with the mini-map (the tiny version, not the full screen one). Mine appears in the top-right corner, but my friend has hers in the top-left. I believe I used to have it in top-left; maybe I pressed something weird. I'd like to get it back into top-left, anyone know how to do this? It doesnt seem to be in the Esc-Options-Automap section.

Have you tried the arrow keys?

That just moves the map around so you can see the other parts of the map; I want the actual mini-map to be moved to the upper-left side.

The button is 'V', I believe, or whatever you've configured for "Toggle Minimap" in the controls configuration.

Press the key for "Toggle MiniMap" (to see which key you have assigned to it, go to "Options" then "Configure Controls"). After I get the map on the side I prefer, I usually un-assign the hotkey for this command so there is no chance of accidently pressing it again.

Huh? Minimap? What Minimap? I pressed the toggle minimap button, but nothing shows up...

The "Toggle MiniMap" button switches the minimap between the left and right sides of your screen, it does NOT turn the map on/off. To turn on the the map itself, you'll have to press the button for "Automap" instead (TAB is default I think). The size of the map displayed (full-size or minimap) can be configured by going to "Options" then "Automap Options".

Whoa, that's crazy. In all my time of playing D2, I've never seen that. Not much use to me, though.

"N" is one useful button also, for you who didn't know. Especially in public games. It clears the screen from all messages and such.

I"ve had to figure out hot keys and which does what quite a few different times thanks to "Damn" and "Other Damn" my cats.

I"ve told the Little Woman (short joke) that I think sitting so close to the monitor is bad for the cats eyes and she should spring for buying a giant screen, you know, just so the cats won't need glasses
