Thanks! I'm glad you like the idea about switching the passmap pics. By the same token you could take the minimap image that you've stitched together and make it a sepia tone to give it an old fashioned look. Skies really the limit.
Now I know you can add things like npcs and monsters to your mini map. But I can't seem to get it to work. I've added the graphics in the config and I've tried naming the events according to the Keywords, I've tried adding the keyword to the comment of the event. But I can't seem to make anything show up on the mini map except the player. I'm just not sure how it works. I'd really appreciate some help on that.
Also I keep trying to get the code to trigger the map on and off, and I don't seem to be doing it right. I've looked at other scripts and I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe you could correct my code to help me see what I have to do. Here's the code.
Edit: Ok, I'm stupid. I just reread your post and figured out how to make the various events appear on the map, though I'm still trying to figure out how to use images for the Keywords instead of the colored pixels. Also, I enlarged the pixel size of the blips to 4x4 so they show up better. Thant seems to help. As for the toggle switch, I figured out how to event it though it works kind of sketchy. I really want to figure out what I'm doing wrong with this trigger code. It's very much like code I've seen in other scripts, so I'm not sure where I messed it up. Anyway, thanks for making such a great script!
Any help would be appreciated. I must be doing something wrong but I can't figure what. Thanks so much.

Code:
if Input.trigger?(Input::Y)
if $game_system.minimap_visible==true
hide_passmap
else
show_passmap
end
end
