anyway to draw on map?

[ColdFusion]

trying to draw point on map at any given point, label optional

i was thinking, maybe there is way i could manipulate the eq map files, but thats in dirrectory i don't know how to get to with /ini, and i don't think they are even in similar formats, so don't think that would work

anyother ideas

ive done tons of still bot macros that have worked very well but movement is infanately more complicated
some way to See the locations my macros are playing with while designing them would be extrememly useful

MQ2Map shows spawns on the map when it works. You can use all the normal spawn filter options to get pretty precise on which spawn(s) youre showing. These labels update as the spawn moves.

If /mapshow <some spawn filter> doesnt work for you, then all I can suggest is to look at the code for MQ2Map and figure out how it is showing (supposed to be showing anyway) spawns on the map and build from there.

If it's crashing you, you should post crash reports so we can fix it. I have no clue what "spawn points dont update right" means.

Not the whole zone is updated all the time. There is a certain range that gets updated spawn information and everything beyond that range is only updated once you zone in and whenever you get in the range of the spawn.

Which is because that is all the info your client recives.... that is a good thing mostly. It is done to reduce lag. If your client got an update for every single mob in the zone every time it moves that'd be some major traffic. THe only info you actually need is the info on mobs withing a given range.... so thats all the server sends to the cleint.
