Uncover/Show Minimap

[pink_panther]

Is there a way to download all the minimap files to "show" the minimap, without having to walk around everywhere in game to cache the data?


Edit:

In the meantime, I've written this horrible horrible script, which I've added as a talkaction command.

It just teleports your player to every sqm on the map to "discover" the map.

TFS addEvent hardcoded a 100ms delay, but can be reduced/removed if you build the solution yourself, which I've done.

local startx = 31872
local starty = 31488
local startz = 1

local endx = 33407
local endy = 33023
local endz = 15

local gotox = startx
local gotoy = starty
local gotoz = startz

local inc = 14

local function LoopFunction()
    local plr = Player("GM Panther") -- Put your players name here.
    local delay = 1
  
    if gotox > endx and gotoy > endy then
        if gotoz == endz then
            plr:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Finished")
            gotox = startx
            gotoy = starty
            gotoz = startz
            return
        else
        plr:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Next floor" .. gotoz)
        gotox = startx
        gotoy = starty
        gotoz = gotoz + 1
        end
    end
      
    if gotox > endx then
    gotox = startx
    gotoy = gotoy + inc
    plr:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Dropdown to " .. gotoy)
    end


    local position = {x = gotox, y = gotoy, z = gotoz}
    -- plr:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Trying " .. gotox .. "," .. gotoy .. "," .. gotoz)
    local tile = Tile(position)
    if tile then 
        plr:teleportTo(position)
        delay = 25
    else 
        -- Find a tile near by this position
        for i = -7,7 do 
            for j = -7,7 do 
                position = {x = gotox+i, y = gotoy+j, z = gotoz}
                tile = Tile(position)
                    if tile then 
                        plr:teleportTo(position)
                        delay = 25
                        gotox = gotox + inc
                        addEvent(LoopFunction, delay)
                        return
                    end
            end    
        end        
    end
    
  
    gotox = gotox + inc
    addEvent(LoopFunction, delay)
end

function onSay(player, words, param)
    if not player:getGroup():getAccess() then
        return true
    end

    LoopFunction()
end

Man, I sure am glad I posted this here. Has come in handy yet again. Good job, me.
