You should write up a tutorial and submit it to the site along with that video.

^Definitely. That system looks really fantastic, although a tutorial would be great. I'd like to see how you programmed it, if it's worth the work XD If you write a tutorial, I'd be happy to help/proofread it :)
Ok, I have made the tuto, I have submited em here, so its Pending status now

Oooooh...this looks like something I'd like to use~ I'm wondering if this couldn't be used in conjunction with other things, like say whether or not you have a specific character in your party or if that character is the lead sprite or whatnot...hmmmm....

So this tool you used to convert the map to .BMP, does it convert the map file ITSELF into BMP, or do you have to make the map in another program or...??? I'm not quite sure I understand that bit @_@;;
Would soomeone be able to help gadesx rewrite the instructions in a more understandable format?

I am working on it right now~ though if somebody else does one, it would probably be better to ignore mine.

I'm working on documenting a DynRPG plugin I wrote to do this.

It uses terrain data, which means minimaps are dynamically generated, and can be resized (up to 200x200px) at runtime. Plus there's a neat little alpha effect when you explore new areas of the map.

I hope to release it soon!

Thinking on it, would it be possible to do something with the minimap similar to FFIV DS, where if you 100% explored the map, you would get an item or something? Sounds like it could be used for little things like that and would encourage exploring more too.

Yes, actually the pointer are for the main chara, but you can use more pointer for other characters, npcs, etc
