Ok, the fog was messing with Select Map and blocking stuff, so I got rid of it. There's only 1 little bug left: Upon logging in, you have to open your map (at least once) and zone (at least once) before your arrow will show up on the map.

While in town, Select Map is still messed up; I know how to fix this, it's just a little tedious and I hadn't gotten around to it yet.

My next objective is to get the icon overlays to auto-load.

Could I get a quick "vote" on whether or not it's worth it for the fog to be gone, if it means having to zone once before you can see the location arrow? It doesn't seem fixable, so we might have to deal with it. I for one vote for no fog.

Attachment: Here's the latest version to play around with. Test the "anti-fog" code and see if you can find any other bugs.
I don't know if I get to vote, but personally I'd rather not have to zone to get my arrow to show up. Fog I can live with (helps me figure out where I haven't been yet) but the arrow is kinda essential to me.

Edit: interesting note on the arrow thing, I opened the map while loading into the game world (using the chat while zoning mod) and when I loaded in I had an arrow. I quit out and loaded again without opening the map and no arrow.

Interesting note #2: crossing the map change line in Commonlands made the arrow appear.
