Also, before you consider redoing the icons, ger, we're sticking with the dots as they are easy to place and aren't huge and cumbersome like the default icons.

Well, before seeing this I found the last bit in your XML that marks everything, so that made life easier. As for size, I'm not doing anything nearly as large as the default icons. I'll attach a screenshot to show you what I mean…

As you can see in the screenshot, I'm still tweaking the icon sizes—they seem to be clipping at the bottom/right, despite matching the dot size and the XML bounds correctly. *shrug* I'll figure it out eventually. I'm also still working on what icons to use for some of them, since they don't show up as recognizably as I'd like.

Right now I have it set to:

Location: blue campfire
NPC: green walking man
MOB: orange dog paw
Named MOB: red crown
Quest location: light blue checked box

The campfire, crown, and checked box aren't showing up quite right, so those will likely be changed…I'm open to suggestions. (And feel free to suggest again that I abandon the changes, just trying to make myself useful while I figure all this stuff out )
