CarlZalph Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 The minimap cannot be uncovered currently in the DST version due to it being considered an exploit in multiplayer. You will need to wait for the beta branch to come live to be able to allow the server to reveal the map for you since there is a fundamental change in the minimap's architecture from client-sided to server-sided in the backend allowing for the server to control everything about each client's minimap. A workaround is to teleport your player around the map to reveal everything, or other 'exploit' based shenanigans in knowing the world map without exploring. If you want then I can generate a png image of the world if you want to send me your world's snapshot.

Arlesienne Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 With all due respect, CarlZaph, I think you are mistaken. This command works for me on both the beta and the live branch. Are you sure you are the host?

If you are hosting a server as a listen server, IE no caverns, then yes it will work since you and the server are one and the same. For every other case you are a client with no such control over the minimap, and the server can't grant you the power since it is all stored client-sided.

Sure multi-sharded servers treat you as client in a giant summary, but that's common knowledge. I was led to believe the original poster had problems within the single shard - AKA the overworld (note to self: how does one create a hosted cave-only server?). In other words we may need more information from the OP.

In other words we may need more information from the OP. Yeah, so I indeed was trying to run a server with caves, (you guys call is caverns it seems), and what you all said is pretty much correct. I was able to explore the whole map without caves. The main reason I was trying to explore the whole map is because I am quite a new player and wanted to practice survival in the caverns. Isn't there any way to run commands on the server?

If not, hold Ctrl after opening it. This still won't make map reveals work downstairs. But if there is any prefab you want to see, go c_gonext("prefab") - for instance c_gonext("minotaur") to teleport to the ancient guardian. If your game freezes, just reopen it. You will be there. I do not use Too Many Items so I can't help here.
