Not sure if this is your issue, but: If you press 'F' the game preview will go to "fullscreen" and the automap becomes usable. A lot of the GUI elements don't resize properly at resolutions that low, so you have to go fullscreen to see some elements.

When you figure out why you don't have the map I'd like to know. I don't want the map available in my dungeon. =)

Im having the same problem .. I finished my outdoor map and exported it. On testing I press tab and the map is blank ..wtf.. But when I go down into one of my dungeons the map works fine.

Well I think I figured out what was going on.. If you have 2 levels on the same coordinates like 0,0,0 it causes a conflict in the mapping system. As soon as I moved one of my levels to a different coordinate it worked just fine.

It seems you could functionally disable automapping by creating a phantom level at the same coordinates that the player never has access to. This may cause unforeseen problems when the game tries to reference itself by coordinates. Perhaps using it sparingly in special circumstances could be achieved, but I can see some headaches arising from the coordinate system not finding entities or locations that it thinks exist. Worth a shot though!

I have automap because I'm a good boy.

I think I know what your problem is. You have to give your maps a location in the world (the (0, 0, 0) before the level name). Without each level having a unique coordinates the game engine gets confused and cannot automap.

Check out Skuggasveinn's 3rd tutorial video here: http://youtu.be/6cv3P8dxCgY

if you have every level uniquely coordinated, the auto-map will work correctly.
