Title: Consulting maps of other continents
Post by: Chenier on September 13, 2012, 12:50:07 PM
How do we view maps of other continents now that political maps are no longer linked to nor updated? And by "other", I mean continents we don't have an active character on.

I know...there's probably a better way. The Belu maps definitely need to be updated.

I checked that before posting here... Fheuv'n is long gone, that's an invasion-era political map...

Write a feature request for viewing other island maps. :-)

I'm for it. It needs a bit of coding, but not a horrible amount. Obviously, some things won't be available (diplomacy), but realms, etc. will be.

I could also post a link because we already generate a static version, but that would be giving something away that I'm still working on.

Someone should maybe request for the dev team to add banners as well ;) I miss maps with banners.

We are already working on that. The problem is that many old banners are in .jpg format and to make proper overlay we need them in .png with transparency.

Maybe you should ask for .png from now on. :)
