Updated the interface a little.
In this image. The mapping system is fully working 100%. The new mini-map image updates to show your current position on the map. I've seperated the room content into 3 boxes to make things organised, it also makes things slightly easier when interacting with room objects. The textbox has been changed, text is smaller, there are no longer multiple colours per line as this was causing some issues, but some lines will be bold, and others won't be so we can make text stand out slightly if need be.
The room image has been removed. Although it does give players help with being able to imagine what the area looks like, I think it takes up too much space for important things.
You can now interact with other players! You can click them, and click the LOOK button to see their level and class. More information will be added but the basics are good enough for testing with.
I will be adding the attack feature next so that players can fight each other.
You can now see the full room description by clicking the LOOK AROUND button. This gives you some extra information about the room, and helps to create a more detailed image in your head.
There are other things that have been added and changed but nothing major.
After I have completed the player interaction stuff I will be working on Items and NPCs. Most of the code is already there (Since it's Mirage Source), I just need to work out a way to display things in the room content boxes, and make them interactive.
