Note - takes a few seconds to load the level once you press the crystal.

what!? thank you Calvin for making a demo! ^,^

you are awesome for this!

oh for XAS enemies comment the 3rd page with "mm_enemy_act"
so that you can see attacking enemies on the mini map.
(I may have to write it so that when you hit an enemy there's a hit icon)

the crates or boxes 1st and 3 page "mm_event"
~ i can rename to mm_item if you think that's better?

thanks again

No worries man, feel free to make those adjustments - I just had 30 mins free today, and this is a really cool script thought I'd muck in

super necro post!
(well im a necromancer anyway @.@)

i tried all the minimaps out there (there is about 15+)
and this one is the best so far, i like it how it manually draws da map *-*

few hick ups though @.@
hao to disable the auto zoom in/out for larger maps? it causes lag >.> (maybe perm zoom out on larger maps)
it also leaves a space on top of minimap when used on smaller rectangular map (20x15) >.<
and...a crash bug O.O

pardon the loud music >.<

finally...i dunno if this is too much but would be cool if you have the ability to block certain maps from showing the map until the correct switch is activated (ex. if you dont have forest map, all forest area will show 'Map not available' on minimap o.oa) useful for setting up npc that sells maps *-*

yo Mimi o,O - welcome back, your game is looking mighty nice, fully featured, so glad that you are still at it.

hang tight I will look into those new features and do a little troubleshooting on that error, for that specific line to crash,
it may be cause by another script or something in that transfer event...?

no such thing as necropost here ^,^ so it's all good.

hmm it only happens on big map and it happens randomly when you enter dat big map and that another script might be...that Mode7 script O.O
transfer event is just forcing player to move forward once o.O

anyway i think it fixed itself (is dat even posible o.o) i just change the zoom in/out from up/down to another button (i think its the reason it zoom in and out because of up/down button)

and yes the system is super updated, it rivals XAS v4 (think if it, v4 is for multi parties while the one im using is for single heroes)
I named it...
XAS 3.8 Exceed (Enchance XAS coded extra extended development)
as it still uses 3.8 as base o.o

@mimi - sounds like you have put alot of work into your project, I've been working on the newer version of Xplat using 3.91. The code is much cleaner than 3.82, there's truly lots of redundant/useless code making 3.91 worth the upgrade, including the antilag for larger maps, etc.. still looks like your project is fully loaded.

*sometime next week I will look into making some more touches the this script, thank you for those suggestions +

@gface : if player/event in position bigger than 12,24 (x,y) it may not exactly accurate but the icon(player/monster/event) in the minimap is way out of its place dunno why , i even tested it on @calvin624 demo and its the same , is this made with small map in mind?
and is there a feature switch to turn it on/off ? thx

@mimi - forgot about giving this one an update.

@supercow - I see exactly what you are talking about, need to edit some math so it lines up accurately.

*once I'm caught up with my current focus I will make time to give this script an update.
