The Automap

Brad Harding edited this page Jun 23, 2023 · 43 revisions

The automap is a top-down representation of the current map and the player’s position within it. It may be opened at any time during a game by pressing the TAB key.

The thick red lines in the automap indicate solid walls, while brown lines indicate a change in the floor’s height and yellow lines a change in the ceiling’s height.

While the automap is open, there are a few additional controls:

TAB Closes the automap.
+ / Zooms in/out.
F Toggles follow mode.
R Toggles rotate mode.
G Toggles the grid.
M Adds a mark.
C Clears mark(s).1
0 Toggles full zoom.
/ / / Pans around the automap.2



The automap may be shown on an external display by enabling the am_external CVAR in the console.




The path the player takes and the distance they have traveled may be displayed in the automap by enabling the am_path CVAR in the console.




The amount of time the player has been in the current map, the monsters they have killed, the items they have picked up and the secrets they have found, may all be displayed in the automap by enabling the am_playerstats CVAR in the console.





1Press the C key to clear the last mark added. Hold the key down to clear all of them.
2The player may only pan around the automap while follow mode is off.
