'''Very''' nice work on those two map templates. When I get back from class tonight I will update the POI template and the few POIs I had redone recently. I can see the map point plus being very useful on many quests like the blighted moarsman temples, ley line nodes, and so on. I think we should begin adding it under the maps section for those types of quests. --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 16:29, 20 January 2009 (CST)
Hey Tlosk, any chance you could take a look at the "Item Table" template, to see why the icons are going to the next line, instead of displaying next to the bullet icon?  Kinda driving me nuts lol. Thanks! --[[User:Atarax|Atarax]] 03:09, 18 August 2012 (EST)
: For example, looking at the [[Current Patch]], all the ''New Items'' with the tables, seem to be off for me (using Google Chrome). 


:{{Item Table|Caption=Stipends
| Stipend
}}


I had another idea for map templates. The Map Point Plus reminds me of ACexplorer, and I thought it would be very cool to have our own wiki version of ACexplorer available. However, a single map would either be too small to be useful or too large to fit on most monitors. Then there is the issue with many objects being listed, likely 500+. And finding and editing a single item in that list would be a pain. So I thought of another idea.
:It shows the bullet point, and then a new line, and then the icon is below it. Do you see that, or is it just me (or Chrome)? --[[User:Atarax|Atarax]] 05:07, 19 August 2012 (EST)
<br><br>We take a large map of dereth, at least double the standard MakeMeAMap file size, which is 2041 x 2041. Then we divide it up into maybe a 10x10 or 20x20 grid. Only a single square would be displayed at any time - each square in the grid would have a unique wiki page. For naming of the map image files and the pages themselves, we could use a number/letter grid system (1A, 14F, etc) or use the map coordinates, using the NW corner coords as the name.
:: I can confirm that it does look right in firefox, but not in chrome. Must be a CSS issue. Funny thing is that it used to work a few patches ago... Anything change? --[[User:Atarax|Atarax]] 06:14, 19 August 2012 (EST)
<br><br>Each square would then be very similar to the Map Point Plus template. There would be multiple icons to choose from, etc. If possible, clicking on the point would redirect to its page. If not links to all points on the map can be listed below.
<br><br>For navigation, there would be options to move one grid N, S, E, or W, as well as return to an index. The index would be rather simple to create. We just take a smaller size image of each square, which redirects to the square's page, and we place these thumbnails into a table in the correct order to construct the full map.
<br><br>I don't know anything about wiki template construction, but I imagine the template would look something like this:
<pre>
{{Dereth Grid
|         Current = 10N, 30W
|          North = 20N, 30W
|          South = 0N, 30W
|            East = 10N, 20W
|            West = 10N, 40W
| <Coords> | <N or S> | <Coords> | <E or W> | <Marker> | <Caption>
| <Coords> | <N or S> | <Coords> | <E or W> | <Marker> | <Caption>
| <Coords> | <N or S> | <Coords> | <E or W> | <Marker> | <Caption>
}}
</pre>


Would something like this be possible with what you know about wiki templates? --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 21:03, 20 January 2009 (CST)
Hi Tlosk, I think you fixed this for me once before, but [http://ac.wikkii.net/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=100&target=Jaguar my contribution history] seems to have been merged with someone else's ([http://asheron.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/ASHERON-Joe ASHERON-Joe]). Maybe it happened during one of the server moves? His edits are from 2007-2008. My edits start in 2009. Sorry for the trouble! --[[User:Jaguar|Jaguar]] 00:59, 14 May 2013 (EST)
