Re: [crossfire] Mapper tool

2008-03-24 Thread Nicolas Weeger
Hello.

I was wondering: would it be worth to make mapper generate one page per found 
monster archetype in ùaŝ.
Currently there is one big page summing that up (monsters.html).

Probably something like one page per archetype, with special monsters in a 
different section.

So you'd have (random values):
---
Bat
hp: 6
wc: 1
found in maps: cave, ...
Special variants:
- Bat Boss: big cave
- evil bat: demonic lair
-

Opinions?

| I'd like some opinions/suggestions on the mapper tool for Crossfire
(found
| in server/utils/mapper.c).
|
| Current aim of the tool:
| * provide a map reference for map makers, to know what exists, show links
| between maps, point to areas where there aren't many maps, ...

I have also found it very useful for reporting missing archetypes.
(Yes, there are still 2 missing in /branch maps; I will fix that in the
next day or two)

| * help find inconsistencies in maps (same slaying between maps, invalid
| tiling, unreachable maps, invalid exits ...)

Finding invalid exits has been a huge time saver for me.  Thank you for
this functionality!


Feature request:

On the world map, have some way to display elevation.

The ultimate (dream?) of course would be to have a elevation and depth
contour line map.

Examples:

 What is the last word in the sentence?
 It's not displaying for me for some reason.

Sorry, it should read map, fingers slipped on other keys :)

 So, using the example above..

 There would be the name Bat on a map summary page.  This would be a
 hyperlink to a standalone page display the complete stats of the Bat?

That would be the idea.

 I presume the user would then have to use the browser back button to get
 back to the map summary?

 Assuming the summary above holds true; Just some ideas..

 What about using a popup window to display the monster information?

 What about using an iframe to display the monster information?

Remember mapper uses a template system to display information :)
So basic version would probably be link to another page, but you could just 
redefine / modify the template to use iframe or popup.
