Minimap Arrowsize
Moving_Target, Fri Feb 03 2012, 06:46PMIs there a way to change the arrow size on the minimap or get rid of my arrow altogether? I know where I am and just need to know where my teammates & flags are. I like to throw nades in directions where I heard a noise and sometimes blow up my teammates because their arrows were covered by my larger arrow on the minimap - and that's just a waste of proper nades!

That changes the size of all arrows, but my arrow is still bigger than those of my teammates. I just want to get rid off mine or at least make all the same size...

I know what you mean...annoys me sometimes on some maps I can't see players close to me because mine covers them. I found this while searching. It seems your arrow will always be bigger than team mates.
Experiment
cg_arrowscale
Range: 0.1-???
Default: 3
This cvar controls how large the arrows are in relation to the map. The arrow size will scale with the map, and remain in proportion. However, with a larger map, the arrows may seem too large. There does not seem to be a limit on this value, and indeed you can have the arrows fill the entire screen. Practical range is about 1-3. I’ve always used 2, because I find 3 is too big. Your own arrow will be larger than your teammates’ arrows, which is where this complaint stems from. At arrowscale 3, your arrow can obscure teammates’ arrows. However, it’s all preference, and if you want to find your position quickly on the map, a larger arrow size can be helpful. The flags and the medic icons do not change when you alter arrowscale, so even if you have very small arrows, you can still see medics and flags easily. On some maps, such as Eagle, the map scale is extremely distorted, and arrows will be much, much smaller than on normal maps. Some maps have the opposite problem. Therefore, you may find yourself change your arrowscale value occasionally.

Thanks Boogie - I'll play around with those values a bit and see if I find something better than my current settings.
cheers

cg_mapsize 125
cg_maparrowscale 3
Those seem to work well together. I have a script that switches between the smaller(normal) minimap and a full screen minimap.
set mapchange1 "cg_mapsize 125;cg_maparrowscale 3;set nextmapchange vstr mapchange2"
set mapchange2 "cg_mapsize 500;cg_maparrowscale 2;set nextmapchange vstr mapchange1"
set nextmapchange "vstr mapchange1"
bind PGUP "vstr nextmapchange"
