Optimizing MQ2Map to look really cool!

[Noobhaxor]

Ok so you figured out mapshow npc or filters pc npc... well mq2map is soooo much more than that... Honestly you could just kill video and give me the map and i'd be cool... Let me explain the MUST HAVE optimizations.

Ok these are the settings you want to type in:
/mapnames normal [%l] %N - %h%%
***This shows the follow in map for each spawn [70] a turtle - 100%***
/mapfilter npc
***shows npcs durr!***
/mapfilter npcconcolor
***tired of all the grey mess of mobs?***
/mapfilter target
***highlights your target to be a diffrent color***
/mapfilter targetline
***draws a line from you to your target***

For those situational or default settings that should already be on:
/mapfilter pc
***shows pcs... always leave this on***
/maphide npc
***hides npcs till you zone or redraw the map (this helps from toggling mapfilter npc all the time)***
/mapshow partofnamenpc
***this shows the named pc on the map after doing a maphide npc (This is can be good for those zones with TONS of spawns)***

Red Cent me if you find this useful

Thanks,
Your friendly noobhaxor

Also "/Mapfilter" ingame will give a huge list of options
