setting for world map item use

Post by flametard »

I'm trying to disable the world map unless you own the item. I thought i had that setting set, but it opens the map with f5. I looked through settings for the last hour or so, and couldnt find it. anyone know how to activate the world map item?! thanks.

in *settings/map i think theres an option where you select the frame of the map and one option set it to be purchasable.

woah, now theres an obscure and indecipherable setting which I really must fix.
Apparently its
*settings -> Graphics -> Display Mode = 3
which makes you need the 'Island Map' item (item num 130) in order to view the world map. The terribly useless-sounding "Display Mode" also controls such funky items as whether the clock is displayed as an ancient calendar and um, where on screen the weapons dialog sits. :)

As Mat says, theres also
*settings -> Graphics -> Show Position on Map
and
*settings -> Graphics -> Map Display Mode
which control the appearance and functionality of the map.
I really gotta sort this out sometime :)
