[CF-Devel] 25 by 25 instead of 11 by 11 map

[pc-crossfire at crowcastle.net]

I for one would love a larger viewable area, buy why hard-code a
specific number?

How about having the server send a message to the client upon
connection that tells it what size to use?  On the server side, it can
be a configuration option.

Having the client remember what was seen outside the immediate region
is a separate issue.  That would require the client knowing the
difference between moving one square and teleporting.  (Or in the case
of tiled maps, not noticing the change in maps, though that would
probably be a much later step.)  I'm not sure how much info is there
now.

Both are great ideas.
