Overview Map Pane
The overview map pane gives a top-down visual image of the entire area. To change where the map draws from, change the starting room using the drop down menu at the top.
The only other thing that can be done from the map view itself is to press the numbers 1 through 9 to hide/view different levels
of the map.
The options menu has numerous capabilities.
- In "Room Colors", click on the color to change it for any of the depths, external room, or room exits.
- Check or uncheck the boxes in the "Display Depths" section to hide or view them - similar to using the numbers in the map view.
- Under "General Options", the dimensions of the map can be altered to make viewing the map easier. Check or uncheck the box below to see the vnums on the map. Additionally, pressing the "Reset" button will return the map size to the default.
- The "Room Traversal Method" section may or may not be useful. If the map is difficult to read, try changing from Breadth First to Depth First. It changes the way the algorithm works, but may not affect any visibility.
- Like the traversal method, "Orientation" can be used to change the visual layout of the map to improve visibility. Tweaking these settings might help seeing the map better.
Note that regardless of whether "show vnums" is checked or not, they will only be drawn if there is enough room to fit them.
