Map update mod

For the time being, I have uploaded the file again to rapidshare. I hope I can soon upload it to subsim (or someone else can upload it there).

Edit: Download link above

Cheers, LGN1.

Umm, isn't this a direct copy of my "Realistic Map Contact Updates" feature (from OLC Ubermod/'Gold')? Not that I mind you releasing it, but taking the credit is a bit rude.

Hi OLC,

what do you mean? What is a copy of your mod? The main idea I would say is from the assisted plotting mod from years back. If you look at the date of the first post, you can see that I had the idea for different symbols for ships and small convoys already before you published it in your mod (I don't claim you copied it from here). Also, I am not aware that there are mods that show contacts on the attack map, but not the nav map.

As I write in the readme, many people have modded the map update feature and I thank them all for their work, but it is hard to tell who did what first.

So, please tell me what I did copy from your personal work? Sorry, for reacting a little bit emotional, but I find it rude to attack me in public by claiming I have 'stolen' your ideas.

Right you are. My apologies.

Hi OLC,

thanks for setting this straight. I think the original assisted plotting mod is even much older than from 2007 and, as you can see, many people have modified it already.

I think the crucial idea in the present version is that you have a more detailed overview at the attack map. I always wanted to have a better overview without getting too much info. I guess this is solved in the present mod.

Anyway, sorry if I overreacted a bit, but it is tough to be attacked by a 'mod god' if you are a 'mod noob'

I had prefered it if you had first contacted me via pm before making such a statement in public.

Cheers, LGN1
