[CGMZ] World Map

Hi all, introducing: [CGMZ] World Map!

Show a world map with icons and other markers on top. You can cause icons to appear over the world map when needed, and hide them when not needed. This allows a world map that can give the player location info for important quest objective locations and other info. You can also show the player's current location on the map.

Gif Preview:

 MAP SCENE

Open a scene with a world map that can display icons and other important information in a way that can easily convey location-based info. Show where the player is on the map. Change what displays on the map over time as the story progresses.

MAP TRACKING

Where should the player icon be positioned while walking around the world map? Introducing the map tracking feature! Each world map parameter comes  with the option to have a corresponding RPG Maker Map ID that will instead cause the player icon to be positioned by their x/y coordinates on the map.

 So, for example, if the player is standing right in the middle of the world map in game, when they open the world map scene it will show their icon right in the middle of the map. You can also set bounds for the map, such as minimum X/Y and maximum X/Y in case your map includes details outside the playable area.

While not on the map in game, the player's icon will instead be positioned on the map scene by map data via note tag.

Of course, with a plugin that has so much potential, there are some really big features not yet in this version that have been planned as future updates. This (long) list includes:

1) Animated maps and animations above the map
2) Fast Travel integration
3) Fog of war system to cover up undiscovered parts of the maps
4) Map legends
5) Placeable markers
6) Marker tooltips
7) Marker that are not just iconset icons
8) Animated markers
9) Map links to browse various maps within the scene
