He's talking about a mini-map for navigational purposes. The industry term for that is automap.

Al, to answer your question, anything can be done with RF as long as you have the programming knowledge to add it. I don't think RF has an automap feature built-in. I may be wrong though.

yup anythings possible with a little scripting. just set up a script that shows a point over a bitmap that is your map then have the dot be at your location and it moves around as you do.

I hope that's what you ment in your question. If not try explaining it a little different and maybe show us a screen shot of another game that has what your wanting.

A map can be done like this, but i don't think an automap can be done because it's very tricky with this 'fog of war'-thingie.
Everyone can see the difficult, but only the wise can see the simple.

The big level has/had at one time a map you showed with tab,
no automap, the whole map. There might be a tutorial at
http://terrymorgan.net/download.htm, Pickles had the little dot/player moving around, but it disappeared.
