i see now, i always assumed that the automap showed the entire map you where on. but if a whole lot of stuf is on the same map kinda like cardboard punchouts.. and the automap blacks out various areas and sets automap bounderys to keep the illusion that its multiple maps.. then all works well. thats what i was assumeing, as i know several games that work that way.. but i havnt encounterd any that where made in the past several years so i figured they stopped doing it.
