Automap commands

Automap properties

The following properties are supported within an Automap definition:

Property	Description
base = "<game>"	Defines the base color set that will be used by the automap. If a new color for any line type is not defined in this block, the base game's color definition for that type of line will be used. Valid presets are 'Doom', 'Strife', or 'Raven'.
showlocks = "<bool>"	Determines whether locked doors are displayed with a separate color on the automap. This property defaults to false.
