Summary	0008941: New Map Type: "Mission Rooms"
Description	Issue: If players want to warp to the various mission rooms in a region, they have to either memorize which buildings/caves had mission rooms in them, or else tediously look through the maps of every building/cave they've visited, to see which ones had mission rooms. As the player explores more and more regions, both memorization and map-searching become increasingly difficult and laborious. Idea: A new map mode that will show all of the visited mission rooms in a region. Implementation: Currently, pressing '.' once bring up a map that shows all the areas in the current region. I suggest that by pressing '.' once more, the 'mission map' would appear, revealing all of the mission rooms to which the player could warp. Notes: Pressing '.' a third time would make both of these maps disappear, returning the map view to the default, minimal one. Pressing '.' a fourth time reveals just the building/cave/etc map. A fifth time, chunk map + mission map; etc. The 'mission map' doesn't give the player any new abilities. It just conveniently shows all of the mission rooms in a given region, so that the player doesn't have to memorize or manually search the region-map for all the mission rooms they've already visited. * As with the other maps, if a player is standing over a warp gate and clicks one of the mission rooms in the mission-map, the player will get to warp to that room, provided the target room also has a warp gate (which I think all mission rooms have, right?). * If this were implemented, a new section should probably be added to the 'What are all these maps for?' mini-tutorial.
