I tried some of your suggestions and the solution with the view entity does work after all, but honestly I don't want to use a view entity, because I need to fade it out, move it accordingly to the rest of my interface etc. A view entity is more difficult to handle in comparison to panels.
It's affected by lighting, and the map is pixelated.. I'm sorry, but this does not make much sense to me. It's a very easy solution and it works. Simply assign a material that deactivates lighting and maybe assign a bigger texture to the entity to avoid a pixelated effect. You can fade it exactly as you do with panels (view_entity.alpha = panel_main.alpha).

I think I'll give it a shot once more thank you superku and everyone else who mentioned this. My only concern about this solution is, that the position on screen is not as easy to handle like a panel. I had some bad experiences with view entities. @Uhrwerk Thank you, this looks indeed quite interesting I think I'll use that for something else, but I think that this won't work with panels and bmaps because it's a material. But thanks anyways. I think I'll try to wrap it all up in a simple system and share the code afterwards if anyone is interested thanks and Cheers Dekurian

show your Minimap Bitmap or View on a second
bitmap with target_map, and just blit a circular mask over it
i dont understand this. i dont want a circular view entity, cause i had many problems with the own positions. now iam having a panel with a 32bit alpha bmap and a window with my map from a view. is there another way as a circular view entity?

anyone? Really? its not a problem to render it to a view entity, but a fixed position.

i think bmap_process with a shader is very useful for that.
i have a circular mask as .tga and the view bmap in 24bit.
the only problem what i have, is the shader for that to become a round bmap at the end.
can you give me an example for this?

a simple example
texture TargetMap; // bmap_process bmSrc
texture mtlSkin1; // 32bit mask
sampler ColorSampler = sampler_state { Texture = <TargetMap>; };
sampler MaskSampler = sampler_state { Texture = <mtlSkin1>; };
float4 PS ( in float2 inTex: TEXCOORD0 ) : COLOR0
{
return float4 ( tex2D ( ColorSampler, inTex ).rgb, tex2D ( MaskSampler, inTex ).a );
}
technique
{
pass p0
{
VertexShader = null;
PixelShader = compile ps_1_1 PS();
}
}
Salud!
