<![CDATA[Faldon Forums - Mini Map - Ping Showing Player Location]]> 2026-03-19T02:12:01Z PunBB https://www.faldon.org/topic/7804/ <![CDATA[Re: Mini Map - Ping Showing Player Location]]> Mmm, I don't mean the ping (blue star animation) that shows a location to your party.
I mean the beige colored dots. Those are player locations, and I'm nowhere near them, nor are they in my party. Maybe the server makes exception for a GM character and is showing me player locatios? I didn't consider that.

But if not, then anyone can use the ping feature to scan around the map and locate player locations even if you're not in a party.

Not a really glaring problem but seems exploitable if that is meant to be concealed.

(It's hard to say if this is a bug or a feature -- if you want to tell someone in your party about a location that's far away, this is the way to do it.)

There seems to be a distance limit for showing the radar blips of NPCs and monsters, but it will show player blips.

This seems exploitable, because you can remotely scan around the map to locate players.
