Having the automap up in a second window allows players to bring up the map on another monitor while the gameplay is still main screen. and if source ports have a pop-up information window, perhaps the window could be scripted for more things than the map like a motion tracker for a super dark horror map It would be really awesome if the topic could be pinned so that it doesnt dissappear so easily between dozens of other great topics and posts. And I just want to make it really official with this topic here. I just released my singleplayer campaign mod for System Shock. chocolate doesn't update the automap when it's still up and it's a multiplayer-only feature, so multiplayer thing placement. Hello, as some of you might have heard about already. I could open just one of these two extra windows and bring up the automap in there, but there are 2 problems. The closest you can really get to this is in chocolate doom (most other source ports removed it) if you launch 3 chocolate doom windows, one with the -left parameter and one with the -right parameter, and connect to LAN co-op. -left window will show the 90 degrees left of the main window and the -right will show the 90 degrees to the right of the main window.

Overlay mode is a thing in many ports, but it doesn't feel right. often while streaming I'd bring up the map and end up playing through the automap, which isn't fun to watch for a viewer but sometimes I need to play through the automap.

I've always wanted a source port to have the automap up in a second window.
