Tried real hard to find a way to disable that map that doesn't have any radar function on it (I could switch to it, if it had any radar for mobs like Zan Minimap offer), if someone finds a way to disable it without knocking it off the pack, let me know, I prefer Zan's Minimap but would love to keep the new MapWriter, it has interesting functions like to see which chunks are loaded (probably only for server OP on servers but work in Single Player)
You can go to your FTB installations config folder for the pack (/FTB/Direwolf20_1_6_4/minecraft/config) and edit "MapWriter.cfg" There are four different map sections; "fullScreenMap", "largeMap", "smallMap", and "undergroundMap". You can find the line in each section labelled "I:enabled=1", change it to "I:enabled=0", save, and the map(s) are gone. You can then change the default key that opens the Opis Map to something else.
this. if you press "N" 3 times, it should be disabled. you can then use any other minimap instead.
I really hoped FTB would allow the users to pick between certain mods, as I rather like to use Journeymap and Zan's Minimap instead of Mapwriter
Why don't you guys like map writer? I find it much more customizable and easier to use than Zan's but that's my just my preferences.
Thanks, will have to figure out where to, the N key just open the map for me at the moment
It looks like an awesome map mod, but it lacks one important feature I need, radar mode, I want to know when a mob is near my base, especially creepers, and with the new mobs ars magica adds, its a lot more important to be aware that there's other mobs around you. People may think its cheating, but they probably never had to replace a whole array of 8 High Voltage Solar Panels and 3 MFSU blown out by creepers...

I find radar mode to be incredibly cheaty, so I'm very happy with everything to do with mapwriter. I would like it if the waypoints would show up in the world rather than just on the map (so you can tell Y coords too) but more akin to Rei's waypoints than the obnoxious glowy towers that Zans gives
I always play in windowed mode, so having a minimap with high resolution isn't a necessity for me. I also like the textures and interface of Zan's more then mapwriter.
though there's always still things left for Zan to improve on. for example it'd be awesome if you could actually group waypoints together to easily enable/disable a group of waypoints, and being able to easily re-arrange waypoints.
Nice addition to the DW20 Pack, we have the choice to use the map we want, really appreciated, I may try JourneyMap soon, I'm so used to Zan's Minimap that working with a different map was quite a challenge with MapWriter for exemple, we can't see waypoints except on the map...
