Re: Mapping tool

In dragonmaw client for Sharune II we use a mapping tool that maps graphically your surrounding as you walk around in the mud. It is a nice thing to have when you build online with OLC. (Not to mention players love it).

Next feature added for it will be a character "memory" so that your character will remember the rooms as you walk around the world. Right now as we first test it players get all rooms mapped no matter if they have visited them before or not.

We're also adding more OLC integration for our builders later. So they can click around on the map, move to the rooms by clicking and create new rooms etc etc. And get a massively larger map displayed. possibly with all information about mobiles, items and scripts in the rooms.

It obviously work closely with the mud server which sends all the information on what rooms to display on the map.
