[Eo] Simple world map

[Krumelz]

With this code you can add a simple worldmap to your game.

First add a Picturebox on your picscreen.
Set its name to picworldmap, AutoSize to true and visible = false,
now doubleclick it and add;

```
picworldmap.visible = false
```
so it closes when you click on it.
you could also add another pic or command button in it and insert the code there.

in frmmaingame search for Form_Load()
after:
```
picCurrency.Top = txtMyChat.Top
```
add:
```
PicWorldMap.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\data files\graphics\worldmap.bmp")
```
next search for
```
Select Case Command(0)
```or
```
Select Case LCase$(Command(0))
```

right under it add:

```
Case "/worldmap"
                    If frmMainGame.PicWorldMap.Visible = False Then
                    frmMainGame.PicWorldMap.Visible = True
                    Else
                    frmMainGame.PicWorldMap.Visible = False
                    End If
```
now you only need to put your worldmap image, which has to be a .bmp and be called  worldmap as long as you dont change the code, into your client/data files/graphics folder, where the blood.bmp and misc.bmp should be.
If it doesnt work just report to me.

[Krumelz]

what version of eclipse/origins are you using?
also, did you put the Picturebox at FrmMainGame/onto the picscreen?

[Bafoon]

Yes I did, an im using Winds Nocturne engine.

[Krumelz]

hm, ok. Maybe the frmMainGame has a different name there.
Whats the Form called where the picscreen etc. are on?

[Bafoon]

frmMain

[Krumelz]

k, replace the frmmaingame in my code with frmmain.

[Bafoon]

Why not already have the worldmap.bmp set as the pictureboxes background so that way you don't have to store it in the game files and load it up each time…

well, you'd have to update the client each time you made changes to the worldmap, which takes longer than updating a .bmp.

Make it load up in the Sub Main()
