I had a little problem that made me think about something.
Everytime I enabled the "draw over" Flag of an ffc, it's getting invisible on the map.

I thought it would be nice if the user could decide, if an ffc is visible or invisible on the map
(btw it should also be visible if drawn over, I think).
...and an "only visible on map" flag  would be a simple solution to  add area names and other pointers on the map.

Do you mean the spacebar map?

The Map that appears when you press the MapButton (don't know if it's Spacebar, by default)
...The "View Overworld Map, by pressing 'Map'" - Map

Yipp, I checked it out
...the spacebar map's the map that I meant.

I had the same issue and found this thread. I have found a workaround for this. Do not enable the "draw over" flag in ZQuest. Instead, enable it within the ffc script (at the beginning) with:

 

this->Flags[FFCF_OVERLAY] = true;

 

which will effectively do the same thing as soon as the script runs. This way, the ffc will show on the map as ZC will see the flag unchecked, and the script instead checks it when the player enters the room.

That's pretty genius!
Thanks for the clue
