Missions on minimap

[valitas]

Pretty much self descriptive title.

Kemps' brilliant idea. This would be all sorts of useful and awesome.

I guess you can fix this by adding beacons to the map json before parsing it? No idea how at the moment :P

Lol yeah... this was a grandiose idea I got right after writing the minimap stuff.. dunno how many years ago.

The beacons would be the easy part, I think. The graphics code should deal with those easy enough. The laborious part would be parsing the bulletin board, extracting coordinates and saving them to persistent storage, and then making them go away after a while.

... all of which sounds like a right faff tbh. And in the end it may not even be that useful, and I got real busy so never had the time anyway :(

The bulletin board parsing now exists, along with beacons on the nav area itself, thanks to @BartKieviet

Not sure how it would look though - solid colours I think may be mistaken for other tiles, along with the minimap being (if in right/left sides) relatively small. Perhaps a contrasting border around the tile? (and distinguishing different mission types?)
