Update 1.1: Water displays on map, paint the bottom of your lakes, rivers etc. with a specific material and the map will recognize it as a body of water and color it accordingly.Automatic Adventure Minimap is a powerful and time-saving solution for generating world maps and minimaps in Unreal Engine 5. This 100% Blueprint project uses a unique texture-baking method, eliminating the need for scene capture or overhead cameras. It dynamically creates map textures based on your landscape material's runtime virtual textures and maps custom icons to meshes using flexible data structures. Simply put: what you draw on the landscape in terms of grass and dirt etc. get automatically transferred to the map texture, with the option to stamp buildings, trees, and other icons onto the map such as points of interest and quest locations as well. No photoshop needed (although you may want to do a polish pass at some point).

Features include:

• Automatic Map Generation: Generate textures directly from your in-game ground textures—no hand-drawing required.

• Custom Icon Mapping: Easily associate mesh names (e.g., TownHall) with custom icons and textures that automatically stamp onto your map.

• Minimap Functionality: Includes player-centered rotation, toggleable footsteps, waypoint markers, and a starter quest system.

• Seamless Level Integration: Handles level rotations and orientations, so you can focus on development without worrying about matching corner positions or facing directions.

• Basic Quest System: get a head start on a data driven quest system.

Whether you're building an expansive RPG or an open-world adventure, Automatic Adventure Minimap helps you save time, avoid repetitive work, and serves as a valuable reference for implementing advanced Blueprint techniques.
