I think there are some caves where you can't access an overview map. It would be good to know which ones.

good timing for that, Pyro!
you have a lot of ground to cover... :twisted:

i can't access maps inside the Charwood Mines,
but - good news... maps are fine for both characters.

i will also take note of places we can't see the map.

When you are in any cave, then you can't access the world map. If you are in a multi-map cave, then the map function shows you just the cave maps (that you have found so far). If the cave is a single map, the map function is disabled entirely.

Why not show the single map anyway? I think it's just to save work that yields limited benefit - each of those multi-map caves requires some extra setup.

Like I said, if the cave is only one map, then the function doesn't work. You get toast telling you that the map is unavailable. This is not a bug, it's a feature. Whether we want to change that feature is a different question.

Edit:clarification/correction. If the cave is only one map *per level*, then the map function is turned off and you get the toast. I believe, for instance, that the wolf cave, which is one map for each of two levels, does not display. But the snake cave, which has three maps all on one level, should display them. Need to double check that.

thanks for clearing that up!

i don't really look at the map a lot...
until i left for like two years. :lol:

(now i feel "green" again) :o

i got the toast, but Charwood Mines are massive...
although, it's possible they are only one map per floor.

i think you nailed it.
good stuff Tomcat! :twisted:

I'm heading to Charwood next. I'll try to check each level as I go.
