I had no idea that existed.

Might have found something. The map for the duchy of Remton (Remton, Sasat, Saex, Mraulaxon and Lantzas) doesn't appear. The maps for those individual regions appear fine, though.

Also, did you know you can see any duchy in any realm on the island by changing the Duchy ID number in the address bar? Don't know if that's intended.

Personally I'd like to see some way for the duchy maps to be on the main overlay.  Would be awesome to see an entire continent's ducal layout within realm borders.

It appears we have the issue narrowed down to 5 regions.

I think I found the error!

I think it has to do with the river that flows from Nocaneb to the ocean.

In particular, it appears that the region of Remton is split in two by the river.

It's almost certainly Remton, then. Tom thought he could make the two disconnected regions work. He managed to get the donuts working on Dwilight. Apparently the non-contiguous stuff wasn't so successful.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

Try again, please. I've re-drawn Remton.


Velax

It seems to work, but there's an odd thickened border between Orbeh and Mraulaxon on the map in the Realms and Regions page.

Screenshot, please.

Attached. only really appears in Orbeh, rather subtle actually.

Two things:

1) Each region is a separate polygon. When we drew them, we started with one region, then drew the one next to that, and the one next to that, etc. Tom turned on "Snap to Point" (or whatever it's called) so that you could follow previous borders exactly. However... It appears that the border between Orbeh and Mraulaxon is not identical for each region. When the region borders are painted, they do not perfectly overlap. They spread a little, and aren't quite as dark in that are. This is what happened in the eastern border of Orbeh. Follow the region name over to the right, and just where that little bulge is, the two region borders diverge a small amount. What makes it worse is...

2) The newly drawn region borders do not exactly follow the old ones. Some of the twisty bits did not get replicated entirely.  At the same spot as describe above, the little bulge in the border that projects slightly into Mraulaxon got cut off. But the default base layer for the map is the Full Map, which contains the old borders that were drawn directly on the map. So you are seeing both the old borders and the new borders.

Switch the base layer from Full Map to Geography and you can see the difference.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

Tom

It would be important to find out if it is the former or the later. If it is the 1st one, then this will also make the joined polygons for realms, weather areas, etc. fail.


Indirik

I am fairly certain it is both.

No, that's not it. It doesn't appear on the main Dynamic Map, only on the Realms and Regions page. It's extremely obvious when you look at it. I'll upload a picture when I can.

Tom

Can anyone please tell me if the FEI dynamic map now works or not?

Yes, it does. Velax is just being picky.
