Square Minimap + Hide-On-Foot

A framework-agnostic minimap tweak that swaps the radar to a square frame, hides it on foot, and exposes a runtime toggle command — resolution-aware.

Description

A square minimap + hide-on-foot tweak that replaces the round radar mask with a square frame, hides the minimap when the player is on foot, and toggles that behaviour with a runtime command. The component offsets are resolution-aware so the frame stays aligned across aspect ratios. It's a saturated micro-niche, so this one differentiates on a clean config and toggle.

Known Failure Modes & Corrective Prompt

  • Premature texture swap — wait for HasStreamedTextureDictLoaded before AddReplaceTexture.
  • CPU burn — check radar state on a 250ms Wait, not every frame.
  • Single-resolution offsets — derive component positions from GetAspectRatio so ultrawide stays aligned.

Corrective re-prompt: "Guard AddReplaceTexture with while not HasStreamedTextureDictLoaded('squaremap') do Wait(0) end so the mask actually applies. Move the DisplayRadar logic into a Wait(250) loop keyed off IsPedInAnyVehicle(PlayerPedId(), false), and base the SetMinimapComponentPosition offsets on GetAspectRatio so non-16:9 displays line up."

Framework Integration

  • ESX: Layer it under esx_hud — call applySquareMinimap after esx:playerLoaded so it survives HUD re-init.
  • QBCore: Pair with qb-hud; re-apply the mask on hud:client:LoadMap to avoid round-radar flicker.
  • QBox: Re-run applySquareMinimap after the qbx HUD resource starts so the frame isn't overwritten.

Profit Potential

$80–$1000/mo on Tebex (expected ~$250). [INFERRED] priced within the $50-389 script band against the signal-scraper tebex_snapshot corpus (n=100, median seller $11.85K/mo) for a saturated micro-niche.

Trend Signal

↘ saturated — strategy: Category niche-matrix names 'minimap'; square/hide-on-foot is a mature, saturated micro-niche — differentiate on config.

Sales Angle

Don't sell it standalone — fold it into a HUD pack as the "modern square radar" feature, where the toggle and resolution-awareness justify the bundle. Recommended Tebex price $49.
