Players are to able to add skill indications (Icons) on dungeon map to specify which resource(s) are luring in that room. This is customizable to fit the players playing needs and it also viewable and shareable amongst the team! This lets the team know, as a whole, where resources are on your mini-map and big map through the 'Share-Map' Function.

On a sided note this works with "Skill-Doors" and "Key-Doors".


===
Big and Simple
===

Players are able to add icons on the dungeon map to display where certain resources are located. Not only resources but also what type of door.


EX #1:
----
You enter a room and noticed that there is Summoning Obelisk, Runecrafting Alter, Fishing Spot, and Farming Patch. You are able to add all of these on your map or only
a selected few. You've decided to only add the fishing spot and the Farming patch because you fish and use the farming patch more than rcing and summoning creatures.
Only those icons show up on the map.



How to Add an Indication
-------------------------

There are several ways to add icons onto your map: Manually, right-clicking, or toggling from the legend key.

1. Manually.
First, open the dungeon map. Select the room you are in, or a room you want to select, by hovering your mouse over it and clicking on it. A wide selection of small icons will appear (It will only show the icons that are available in that room). Click the box next to the name on the one you want to place. It will be placed in the center of the map; it is now viewable.

>> More than one resource <<<
When in a room that has more than one of the same resource; say Ore Deposit. The list will display 'em all.

EX: #2:
-----

[]Mining: Fractite
[]Mining: Kratonite[]Woodcutting: something
[]Runecrafting: One
[]Farming Patch: One

Only one icon will show on the map.
If you hover your mouse over the icon it will display all the names of the resources in that room. ((MINING: Fractite; Kratonite))


2. Right-Click
You are able to right-click on the resource and add it to your map. Simply right-click and 'Add to Map'

You are able to right-click > "Remove from Map".

If more than one resource is in the room only one icon will display on the map but if you hover the mouse over the icon it will display all the names.


3. Toggling
Toggling enables you, a greater range icons to display on the map. You get to specify which icon and which type of resource you want to see when you just walk into a room!
No right-clicking, no manually doing so.

First, open the Dungeon Map.
Second, On the upper right hand corner is "Icon" legend Tab, Click it.
Time for the fun. There is a range of icons depending on the skills in tabs. Click on a skill tab. Then check mark the one resource you want to display at all times.

If more than one resource is in the room only one icon will display on the map but if you hover the mouse over the icon it will display all the names.



>>>> Resource Depleted <<<<<<
When a resource is Depleted the icon will be removed from your map (only if all are depleted).




When Playing
-------------
When Playing the game, on the mini-map.
You are able to see where the resources are like they would on the world map. Your team members will not be able to see what you have; unless the leader or a player have Share Map on.



Share Map
----------

Share Map is the ability to share the same map with your team. What you and they add will be viewable to you and them.

You are able to toggle on/off Share Map by opening the Dungeon Map and toggle on/off the Share Map.

If you using the Toggle Option, if one of your team members add something that you have not checked, it will not be displayed on your map (vise versa).



Doors
-------
Just like the 'Right-Click' option for adding an icon. Right-Click on the door and hit, "Add to Map"

This is useful for indicating which key or skill you need to use to open that door. Don't have key on you and have to look.(No room)

I've thought something like a custom dungeon map would be nice, too. Especially when I find a crimson charm, or find out I should get ranged gear for the boss, and can't remember where I saw those thigat or corpsethorn trees. Or even to mark something like "this is the room where I left all those bouldabass lying around."
