World Map - Revised

[Lurch]

0.6J is working great, can only see one problem at the moment :

[enderwiggin]

What exactly are the differences between the two versions?

[Talisman]

I haven't had a chance to look at the code, but is it impractical to use just one file, with the advanced features toggled on or off?

[Lightbringer]

Damn...what an amazing mod...

 

It is immediately apparent that a lot of work has gone into this..I will take a look and see how it unfolds..

Well done, everyone involved

[Dannic]

maybe you can break some of the options out into their own modules.  That way if people don't want them they dont' have to install that module?

I don't know if that's possible since I haven't actually looked at or installed this but it is something to consider.

[Arune]

Your right. It is possible to do that... The only problem is that most of the module is fairly dependent upon itself. It would be real close to a complete re-write to be able to remove any "bulk" amount of code.

This is one option I had considered, although splitting this module up into a world editor, terrain editor, etc. Makes it more of a pain for updates and would consume 2x as much time for me. So this has been ruled out.

How much of a speed difference is there right now between the two versions?

Can someone compare page gen times?

[Arune]

IMO in its current configuration the difference is unnoticable.

You can try my main site at: http://logd.ecsportal.com
and my beta site at:
http://logdtest.ecsportal.com

My main site runs 1.5F
Test site runs 0.6K

[enderwiggin]

Will do.  Thanks!

[Lightbringer]

Hmmm ... page gen times are notably similar...tho my net connection can be a little shoddy at times

[enderwiggin]

Wow.  I love it.  It was quick, and quite nifty.

Now, when you mention 8-point compass, I was only able to move N,S,E,and W.  Is that how it's supposed to be?

I was playing on the test server, which I believe is running 0.6K

[Lightbringer]

I had the same with the compass...any ideas why that happened?

[Lightbringer]

Errm, Arune?

Wandering the village, jaw agape, is Farmboy brendan.

Might pay to check that out lol...tho it is a test server...

[enderwiggin]

I noticed that as well.  But he is only level 1.  It doesn't look like he's really played on the server, merely created a character.

correct me if i am wrong, but this does not allow for special events, right?  I can see this being used as a forest replacement, instead of guaranteeing creature encounters with the core forest, make them walk around and look for them!
