What it does
This small mod adds a non-clickable area on the top and the right border of the minimap, thus avoiding misclicks and when playing on Legion side and spamming right click to get to safety. The non-clickable area is marked by a toggleable overlay to serve as visible aid. You can resize it and change the color and opacity through an options panel.
Also, there's an option to "reroute" your misclicks onto the game layer so they become actual clicks.
Misclicks are tracked in a counter.
How it looks
Download
.honmod v1.6.4 (this requires ModMan v1.2 or above)
.honmod v1.4 for TinyUI - courtesy of FrozenDragon, not tested nor supported by me <- THIS IS OLD AND WON'T WORK ANYMORE, feel free to make it work with FE2 though and post a link in this thread, I will update it here then
Future plans
- maybe make a compatibility update for mods which alter the minimap size (unlikely)

... You win the internetz.
People can no longer say, "OMG SPAM CLICK MADE ME GO BACK QQ".
Nice mod, hopefully the download is available soon. But could you make the unclickable area have more sex appeal? I dunno, putting a blacksmith there might be nice.
.honmod version up, .s2z as well

Last I checked, that border isn't the same in the other two maps of the game. This might cause some problems with those.

okay I tried and the only map where it really could restrict you is when you're playing hellbourne on watchtower (TPing back to fountain could be a bit tricky there), so I don't think I'll bother myself for changing this whole thing just because of that

nice Mod, thx 4 that
so I tinkered the freaking whole day and all I got was a toggleable version.
it's got one bug though: I couldn't get the damn overlay to load at the same state in which it's left, so I defaulted it to the first setting (on, with red visible aid). if someone could help me with this, I would be very thankful.
downloadlink in the first post (only HoNMod for now).

SetSave(var, value);
Should work... then you just pull the value of that var when the game loads.
yeah I have that but how can I use this?
<panel visible="var" /> didn't work for me or maybe I was doing it wrong?
