Could you explain a little more about the problem I don't think I fully understand. Aslo in Locations do you mean main locations? What are the map shortcuts? Make sure you are using .pic or .png file formats.

  1. Are you using your own graphics or ones from the art library?

  2. What have you set for movement tile dimensions?

  3. What have you set for ground tile dimensions?

  4. Are all the locations named exactly the same as the maps (except for suffixes)?

  5. Are all the location pictures also named the same?

  6. What do you mean by "using their shortcuts"?

  7. Has your character wandered the whole area to see if the map is somehow condensed to one corner?

Also could you tell us what file formats you are using for the Map Interface and Map Mask layouts and if you have set the game area

On 2/21 you answered the nugget on the (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/webboard/Forum2/HTML/002596.html#")Help(/url) forum (not very helpfully, I might add) so you should know what OS he is using.

This could be a different problem, though, and the description he gave was different than the usual Panther bug I've seen.
