It would indeed be a pain to the eye, but in most cases it should be read-able. The only xonotic map which I can't quite read is probably xoylent's due to its low resolution.
And bot meshes... that's interesting.. although it wouldn't show things like crates, movers and such.
there are not many multilevel maps out so the way Xonotic makes mini-maps should work great.
That would limit our level designers. Why would we want to artificially impose a single-level limit?

I never thought of using navmeshes for this purpose, although they not might be accurate enough to provide good imagery. (I.e., they might be too simple to look good, I dunno.)

Rendering the minimap image in the HUD isn't the hard part, imo, it's rendering the minimap image itself.

Could you elaborate on what this is? I am unaware of an x-ray feature.

Yeah I don't think that should be a problem. You'd just be translating world-space coordinates into minimap-space, which if the minimap doesn't rotate, is just a scale and maybe translate operation.
Also, please check out the proposal that's on the wiki. If anyone has any ideas to add to that document, please, feel free.

I believe I posted this a while back. This is using q3map2's -minimap switch.

That is gorgeous.
EDIT: Lol, then I looked at the other image. Yeah, that ain't gonna work.

Trem has just about as much. There are many 2-3 level maps in xonotic from what i've played on.

I wondered how i got that last time (although colours were inverted, and the file was a .tga) when I tried to decompile my map when I lost its .map file...
I bet that's ATCSHD from its fans.
Are there any options?
