2. Display an Icon on an Event:
   • Open the event where you want to display an icon.

   • Add the following tag: <MapIcon: ID X Y>
   • Y: Optional vertical offset in pixels (default: 0).

  <MapIcon: 64 -20 -30>

• If the icons are not displaying, check the following:
• Ensure the icon ID exists in the icon set.
• Verify the syntax of the note field tag.
• Confirm that the plugin is activated in the Plugin Manager.
