- In the main Game Map window you can click Edit and change your Quick Map color if you want!
- Known bug: On some systems it pops up fixed size and square no matter what — don't know how to fix it yet because I can't reproduce it. Please let me know if you've encountered this behaviour too!
Features:
- While the game isn't running, click a room to open its scene;
- While the game is running, click a room to teleport to it;
- Click the active room to select it in the Hierarchy;
- Also, the current room of a running game is highlighted. Just in case you get lost!
Notes:
- If you see empty room thumbnails/prefab icons, refresh the view by clicking Refresh or current folder a few times;
