Wow, this program looks so cool! To think I've overlooked this for so long... ack.

I've only briefly taken a look at some of the stuff this package offers, but I'm very interested in the miniwindows possibilities, along with everything else.

Is it possible (okay, I know, everything is technically possible with coding) to create a miniwindow that:

1. Displays only the current room the player is in, with 2d positions (x, y) for Players, Mobs, and Objects.
2. Have the display update when something moves.

Thanks!

Very possible, but depending on what functionality your MUD already has, it could be as simple as gagging a map and moving it to a miniwindow, or as complicated as keeping your own list of rooms in memory and drawing your own map based on that.

For example, Iron Realms MUDs, such as Achaea, have a MAP command that displays a map, as well as coordinates. I made a plugin to gag that and put it in a miniwindow, and used their ATCP protocol support to send the MAP only when the ATCP information shows that I've moved.
