Wouldn't it be smarter to use 9 instead of 4? That way, you can map the surrounding maps as well.

yea, i was going for 9 at a time, and possibly a zoom to go further out... that way you could see what maps were connected, making mapping easier...

You are going to a very advanced thing

It's actually not that advanced, seems like it would be fairly easy. Just a matter of planning the logics.

If i do decide to do it, after i get it working i'm going to release the code here... so anyone who wants can add it for their games/engines.

It's a feature i think that no game/engine should be without, because it would help players map out the entire game so much easier.

lol i am glad you al like my screen shot..
the funny thing here is that in that screen shot i didn't use any sort of picture boxes.. lol
i just loaded teh map are right onto the form
andi changed teh top adn left of the min map area so it woudl appear in that position..
also directly placed on the main form
and my idea would be to show the 8 maps around the one you are on...
but the regular map willremain as stationary asnaturaslly does..
i coudl simply get teh map number san d load them in to differnt places aroundthat base map.. and it woudl look pretty decent..
and be kept in real time..
withteh regular game.. i hope to get it so youcan see allteh npcs and players on it woudl eb a realistic live mini map

that is abotu it.. for now.. lol
i may post a fuill screen shot of the mini map with surounding maps plotted if i ge tthe chance to ..

Wow, that sounds like a very good idea, to have 8 maps showed around the map you are on. Even though you will need to load while entering another map.

You wouldn't go onto another map, you would just map standing from the middle map.

At least, that would be the smart, logic, way to do it.
