When creating the map, when you Zoom In, there are certain icons, like a door thats opened, a door thats closed, a purple circle (etc).

I was just wondering, is there anyway of knowing what they are? Cause I have NO idea what the little circle thingy is, and even if someone knows what THAT is, they may not know what everything is, so thats why im asking for like, a legit way of knowing..

The map symbols (and their explanation) appear in the manual. I don't have it at hand, so I'm not sure about the page.

Anyway, I was under the impression that you are encouraged to use the symbols as you see fit. After all, you are the one doing all the map-making: use the symbol you think works best to represent the objects in each floor.

And, for the record, the purple circle is supposed to represent FOEs: mainly, invisible and suddenly-emerging FOEs.

Hey, assuming you don't have the manual I will list what the icons stand for below. I will start with the icons after the 5 on top, I hope with a manual or not its pretty apparent what those 5 are used for.
