		i got a nice idea for you,  
#1 add a 30 sec timer to the scripts that will save all the players names/positions/direction(looking)/char they are, and cur map to a text file. 
 
#2 take a aerial picture of all your maps. 
 
#3 make a program in... i don't know VB that will read the file in #1 and will show where all the players are using #2. 
 
You can watch what's hapening in the game without beeing in the game

		i can make the scripts.dll part in about what 3 mins 
the map pictures about 1.5 mins per pic 
and the other app in VB in... i don't know 30-60 mins 
 
the hardes thing will be scaling the image, and seting up the renegade position system to work with the vb app(x,y offsets and scaling).

		It would also be good to set up your RenSpectator so that you can fly around the map and spectate it in 3D, rather than a birds-eye view.

		| Silent Kane |   I used some special setup for the top view map images which is the reason for my work on a special w3d viewer that allows advaced camera setup, render to texture, etc.

Ah right.. i'll drop you a line on IRC sometime soon.
