Maps in legends mode
« on: January 15, 2022, 09:16:05 am »

Whenever you view a page for a site, region, or other thing that stays still in Legends Mode it should either have a map already/always visible, or a button to show a world map and where that site etc. is located. You could of course go very in-depth with this but the important part is just having some sort of map, since it is very easy to get lost without ones.

Yep! Often it's hard to remember, even after checking the regions menu, where e.g the "Forest of Unicorns" is on the map where the hamlet you're reading about is located.

+1

I'd also want the location on the map light up when you hover the link to a location in the text.

+1, there are already tools that do this, but it should be in vanilla.

Now none of these threads have been very old, but try not to bump them just to +1.

BEFORE POSTING A SUGGESTION
  • [...]
  • Search for an existing thread. If you find a thread similar to your idea, you can bump it to expand on the suggestion, even if the thread is old.  However, please do not bump threads just to show support.

Though maybe this doesn’t count as just a +1 because you mentioned tools. Which are those tools? Legends Viewer I know has it, but are there others that show it in some different way?

Sorry, I thought we were supposed to give our support to ideas, didn't know we had to say anything more constructive than that. Next time I won't comment if I don't have anything to add. I said tools in the plural only in a generic way. The only one that came to mind was Legends Viewer.

The not bumping just to show support is just for old threads, with new threads it is both allowed and appreciated, even if being constructive is even more so :). Honestly though I am not sure what constitutes an ”old” thread, this one might not be being only a few months old. Or maybe a month is the cutoff? I dunno.
