Gynax	I'm trying to make a maze, where when you step on the wrong spot, you are teleported back to the beginning. My problem is - when I place the area, I have no idea where it was I just placed it, so I don't know where I already mapped and where I didn't. Any way to make areas visible? Perhaps if I assigned it an icon initially...

The layer of an /area is below a turf's layer. So, this means that you can't see areas on the map editor by default. To see them, give the area an icon, then select Layers->Areas Only, then enable 'Only Show Selectable Layers'.

Hope that helps.

Gynax	Helped enough to let me get the job done. Thanks a bunch. :)

Kevin Kitsune	You don't need to go to all that effort, there's an option in DM to show the boundry between different areas... When editing a map, go into the Option menu and select "Frame Areas". That should be enough in most cases...
