For adding Map Prompts support to other maps
I am well aware this addon is severely lacking in map support, however this addon is intended to function as a framework for adding support.

If you are even semi-competent at LUA editing and handling XYZ positions, use the file below to create custom map extensions.

This[github.com] is the new and reformatted script file.

The file is fully documented, with as much help as I can provide to users.

If issues arise post them here, I will do my best to assist.

@Sergeant Pan is there a way I can test my file?

@Watchful Just jump in game and load up the map.

If the prompt appears with your text then it works.

Be aware that at line 369 it appears your are missing a letter in "and"

@Watchful

Yeah I saw that, but the current version should be fully functional.

Alright, also to elaborate on the first message, where specifically do i put the file to test it?

In addons you create a folder path like this

"Addon Name/lua/autorun/client/CustomLuaFile.lua"

@Sergeant Pan looked through my file thoroughly but at 272 I just cant find anything wrong and I get this error :
[mapprompts gm_bigcity] lua/includes/modules/draw.lua:139: bad argument #1 to 'gmatch' (string expected, got nil)
1. gmatch - [C]:-1
2. DrawText - lua/includes/modules/draw.lua:139
3. v - addons/mapprompts gm_bigcity/lua/autorun/client/mapprompts_custommap.lua:272
4. unknown - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:96 (x36)

@Watchful

A word at 272 is not the same as elsewhere in the file. Either there's a typo or a missing case. The code is very specific about uppercase/lowercase letters.
