I've tried to change map (same filename), but had no luck. Picture
stays until position change enough to load new picture. I could try to
change file name, delete old entry in map koords file and reinsert new
info.

I was hoping to get picture regulary updated (i.e. every 20-30
seconds). Maybe this could be a way.

OK.. I'll have to use force than. Me and Luke Skywalker :D
Or.. tcpdump connection between my comp and existing friendsd server..

Tried that way. It is working, but I don't like it. It is always
easier to use network protocols than writing to files. At least to me
:)). Parsing those files and getting/changing data can be done quite
easy, but....

Hmmm.. kismet.. That could be a way. I'll check it.

It is helping. I was kind of stuck, so any idea cold make me moving.
To be honest, I've got at least 3 different ideas how to make some
parts I need. Just hope I'll remember them when I wake up tomorrow
morning :)
