WillPwn4Food Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Is anyone else having trouble revealing the map via console command? After much experimentation with the command, I once got my map to show, but I haven't been able to replicate it since. I double checked the wiki page on console commands but "TheWorld.minimap.MiniMap:ShowArea(0,0,0,10000)" isn't working for me (I am the host). Anyone else having this trouble or am I just missing something obvious? And please, save your mods. I'm not interested in downloading a map revealer or anything like that.

rezecib Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 That is the command, and I used it successfully several times today. If it's not working I can only guess that you're mistyping it (or if you're copy-pasting, maybe there's some weird formatting/invisible character shenanigans going on). I type it here again: TheWorld.minimap.MiniMap:ShowArea(0,0,0,10000) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/55821-trouble-with-map-reveal-console-command/#findComment-651582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkXero Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Open the console and use the command after pressing M and accesing the map, just in case.

WillPwn4Food Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Ahh, I didn't realize I had to have my map open. That's different from DS, isn't it?

Shequan Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I'd like to reveal map to aid in selecting a map for my dedicated server (and then turn it off once I find one with some cool islands etc).. but I can't seem to get this to work. Can anyone confirm this works or know? I used to have mod that I could toggle but that's no longer working. Another possibility is the Advanced World Generation mod is this issue.

WillPwn4Food Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 I think once you quit your game, you will have to reveal your map again. So essentially, once you find the world you like, quit and come back to a blank map Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/55821-trouble-with-map-reveal-console-command/#findComment-671897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyNamedChris Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I don't use "reveal map" that much, but in DST isn't there some glitch where it reveals the map but no icons like trees and hives, etc?

WillPwn4Food Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 That's called the "Fog of War." It's not a glitch. When you walk through an area, the objects will appear on your map and then "grey" out to the fog of war. This way if another player comes along and burns the forest or whatnot, you won't discover that until you return.
