Requests for 2d/3d mapper
Posted: Tue May 03, 2011 11:19 am
A couple of the big things I would really like to see in a mapper are:
1.) Overlays. Like labels on top of the rooms, that allow me to add arbitrary icons to the room that show different information at a glance, i.e a water drop for a water source, a red X for a dangerous mobile, a small plant for a herb load spot, etc.
2.) Displaying z-axis changes without ACTUALLY changing the Z-axis in the map. It is important to me to be able to see where I am going instantly, especially in a PK situation, therefore I like to have everything on one level of the map with lines connecting the various exits. If it is not possible due to room density, then z-axis changes are ok.
3.) Annotations. I like to put labels on the map showing different information, like maze directions, etc.
Here is the mapper I use with my current MUD (http://www.mume.org) - The mapper is mmapper2: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mmapper/
