Yes! If there was a way to vote for this (other than by coding it, which requires time), then I would vote with both hands. Sending actual map data would feel more natural and would make magic maps much more useful. This would also get rid of ugly widgets in the clients. FYI, that's exactly what Nethack does. When you invoke that spell in Nethack, you get a full view of all static objects in the map. Magic mapping doesn't display monsters or other living objects (unless this has changed since I last played it) but it shows all walls and tunnels, as if you had already been there. -Raphaël _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
