http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-1991Id like to have the feature that Privat Sim Owners can disallow or allow the use of minimap on their island, as many Privat sims have battle type sims it would make the battles more fun i also see no problem with it beeing inplanted, as Privat Sim Owners can already disallow Flying and Voice.

I don't know the issue number but there's another issue open regarding flying...anyone can hit Ctrl-Alt-V to re-enable flying since it's a client thing and not a server thing. The request asks that disabling flying become a server thing so noone can re-enable it.
But voted on yers...even tho I admit I do use the minimap on zoom close in blade combat so I can "fight blind" sometimes. I *do* however turn the minimap off in places like Midian City to keep the surprise aspect more fun. ^_^

I'll have to put in a vote for that one  I actually have mixed feelings about forcing the issue, but I have to admit that when you go to a combat sim designed to look like Feudal Japan it's kind of disappointing when half the people there are flying  .

If having the minimap open gives you that much of an advantage over others, then you'll simply see a third-party client that doesn't honour the "no minimap" setting.
It's pointless to try and enforce something client-side with an open-source viewer, it's too easily bypassed.

Why allow this option for the island/land owner?

Or running around in the air on circles of falling white light. *poke* =^.^=

I don't think this feature would be possible since it's client side. plus people already have scripted radars that can do the very same thing. 3rd party clients would not be effected by this since they can easily change the code back.

But they DO it in Anime and asian films!! So it must be possible!!!
