Some Requests

[sedin]

First of all, I want to thank you for developing such a tool.
It is exactly that, what i desired since a long time.

To make this tool even better i got a few feature requests:

• Please insert a whole map overview. Jumping around the world with coordinates isn't that comfortable.
• It would be nice, if you change the 'way of moving around'. At the moment there are these arrows on the side. Couldn't you add the possibility to move around just with mouse clicks (as it is at the 'Worldeditor' in Varans Mulpatcher, if you know that tool)
• I think you already planned this one: Possibility to change colors.

to be continued..

greetings,

Please insert a whole map overview. Jumping around the world with coordinates isn't that comfortable.

I have currently no idea how to do that. I thought about the ability to view the radar, but the radar map is something about a 100mb bitmap. Compressed maybe 20mb. As the map is completely server side, all this would have to be queried on each connect. That's just too much. If you have an idea please let me know.

It would be nice, if you change the 'way of moving around'. At the moment there are these arrows on the side. Couldn't you add the possibility to move around just with mouse clicks (as it is at the 'Worldeditor' in Varans Mulpatcher, if you know that tool)

I have to admit that I don't know it (at least not the Worldeditor part). I can only guess what you mean (because it would somehow match what I played around with in my thoughts): you grab the map by clicking on it an then drag it around - maybe with the middle/third mouse button or an extra tool selectable from the toolbar. I think that could be done .... if that was what you meant. Otherwise please try to describe it further.

I think you already planned this one: Possibility to change colors.

Yes that is definately planned. It got somehow lost between my exams and the wish to release this tool as fast as possible

Thanks for your interest and the suggestions on how to improve it (further)!

I think that the changes on the map one would made with CentrED are not that big - the appeareance of a map overview wouldn't really change often.
So it's not necessary to render this overview everytime sth changed.
As far as i know it is possible to render ~500kb map overviews (even smaller i think) - for sure, they are at low detail level then, but it last for navigating.
The rendered map had only to be send once by the server - as a bitmap for example . If the bitmap exists it is used - if not, the client trys to get one from the server. (with the possibility to update the overview if that becomes necessary).
An alternative would be, if you add the rendering only to the client: User had to select a map file, the client renders it and uses the output for navigating.

Yeah, that's like i meant it. At Mulpatcher it is the right mouse button (pretty familiar, since walking in UO works just like that).
But i don't mind using any other mouse button or, as you said any extra tool.

You can contact me, if you got any questions.

And again, some requests

- Possibility to filter art/texture ids
- A new large scale command: "Replace texture ids". A specific texture is replaced by another defined texture ID

Good ideas. I will implement an inclusive/exclusive TileID and Hue filter in version 0.3.2
The large scale command will probably have to wait for another version, as I still have to think about the GUI for it. Currently I tend to provide two lists which have to contain the same amount of equivalent entries. (a source and a target list)
