I have, but their map is just a bunch of rooms which are mapped. I want
the Virtual Map to be a grid of coordinates (almost like the old game
Phantasia) where you move around, not a zone, but a wilderness.
The reason I posted the automapper was just that it is a good feature too.
I'm planning to have both, but that seems like a plan planned in vain.
Ever checked out the ROM 2.4 MUD called The Creator's Shadow?
They have a map like this, but the've refused my request, not even
answered me(!).
