Overland Map

The overland map works in the following way:

When the MUD starts, an image file is uploaded and read. Each pixel represents a 'room' in the map. The colors that map to each room are found in the overland.c file.
Players go in an out of the map by setting the flag PLR_ONMAP .. mobs do so by using ACT_ONMAP. Functions enter_map() and leave_map() are used for this purpose.
There's one room, vnum 30000, that represents the 'real' room that the map is based. Other maps would use different rooms. Exits to the map can be written to this room.
The map can be edited by using the mapedit command (if you're a large enough immortal).
mapedit save will save the map to the image file in order to read it again at launch
