Xenos now see marines on the tacmap during hijack if xenos outnumber marines for more than 25%.

Explain why it's good for the game

Hide and seek is boring. Queen need to be on ovi to access tacmap, so marines would still have a chance.

Testing Photographs and Procedure

Screenshots & Videos

I am lazy but it worked when I tested.

Looks good but what about corrupted / Xeno ERT etc ? Should they be revealed on low human count too ?

[ihatethisengine]

I think this code let you see basically everyone, just like observers can see all factions on the tacmap. Anyway, iirc greenos and feral don't count towards round end, so it shouldn't be really relevant.

Does the last guy dissapear from the tacmap? You already have the QM giving you directions. And its the last guy against 20 xeno's

[ihatethisengine]

Not really a situation I care about in particular. If there is one guy against twenty xenos, I'd rather have them to die quickly than to run around for 10-15 minutes. QM message happens only once per two minutes and by the time you get there they might already be gone. Not a situation I want to make exceptions for.

It may have been mentioned already, but for some reason the aft section of the ship is cut off on the map:

Hidden since it's a big image:

So if someone's hiding at lifeboats for example, they probably won't be visible.

Out of scope for this PR to resolve unless ihate really wants to - but also pretty minor. Also the drawn on map (should the queen do so) is more zoomed out too.

If you do want to tackle it though, its as simple as increasing the size of icons/ui_icons/minimap.dmi and then changing these values:

For example 512x512 would look like this:

You'd have to increase it a fair bit more to get the AI core.

But you will want to see how this looks on all maps in all interfaces (squad computers, CAS UI, etc).

Let's get this merged first, then when I have time I will look into it and make a separate PR.
