Automap code for download

[Gambit37]

This automap for DSB was developed by Parallax. It was lost in a mis-titled thread, so I've posted it here:
http://dmweb.free.fr/Stuff/files/dsb ... p_v0.3.zip

To use this automap, extract the files to your dungeon folder, then add the following code somewhere in your objects.lua:

Code: Select all

dsb_import_arch("Automap.lua", "automap")

An automap arch will show up in the "SCROLL" class of Things and can be used in your dungeon.

To Gambit37 or Parallax.
This Automap is very interesting object and I want to add on it for my dungeon.
Then, Would you mind if I use and convert this Parallax's Automap codes to add on it?

Woah !
I am impressed. I just followed Gambit' s instructions. It worked right away.
The automap developped by Parallax is very nice. Excellent work.

I've found a few bugs in the Automap code:

* Some wall items randomly disappear from their tiles once you walk away from them
* In the DM/CSB dungeons, alcoves currently hidden behind unused switches still show up on the map

I appreciate this is old and may not get a solution, but if anyone is able to help out with these bugs I'd really appreciate it

(I might be able to fix the second bug myself, but I'm really stumped on the first one.)

How would you go about fixing such old bugs today anyway?

[Gambit37]

Welcome! An interesting first question. I turns out I'm an idiot, so the first bug isn't a bug but a simple misunderstanding on my part on how the map is actually constructed. As for the second issue, it should be a simple fix with the wall-item display logic.
