[EO] World map

[Qazek]

Hellou!!!

I do it for my game - it's world map but this system have showing player position in map ;)

Everything in client.

Open frmMain and add:

picture box name: picWorld
picWorld visible false
in this picture box add label named: lblPlayer
lblPlayer caption: \/

In data files folder make .ini file named world.ini

In world.ini file paste:

```
[WorldMap]
Map1X=2354
Map1Y=542
Map2X=4300
Map2Y=1000
```
To lblMap paste:

```
Dim FileName As String

FileName = App.Path & "\Data Files\world.ini"

If picWorld.Visible = False Then
picWorld.Visible = True
lblPlayer.top = GetVar(FileName, "WorldMap", "Map" & GetPlayerMap(MyIndex) & "X")
lblPlayer.left = GetVar(FileName, "WorldMap", "Map" & GetPlayerMap(MyIndex) & "Y")
Else
picWorld.Visible = False
End If
```
And in world.ini you change position of player in map 1,2,3 …

I add World Map Helper you can use it or not - your decide XD

There is no lblMap is only lblPlayer

lblMap is the button you use to open/close the map.

picWorld want to be picMap, or is picturebox?

[westin444]

No offense, for this to be a real world map you should at least make it load some type of image, as a \/ on a blank screen doesn't mean much.

@s3th:
I think he means picMap

[Qazek]

Sorry :/ there are picWorld, not picMap.

Hmm i think that this could maybe get a bit more work on before you release it as a tutorial.
