An API to add new button to the minimap side menu.

Post by heyqule »

Is it feasible to allow mod to add new button into the side bar?

My use case is to use that button to control the custom draws on the map. It's used to show my air raid radar with its custom scan radius. Something like the following.

I assume this change may apply to main side menu as well since they seems similar. This could open up the option of having custom map data layers.

+1, I'd like a way to specify if it should show up in remote/normal/both views.
