Malton Meta Tactical Map: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:09, 2 October 2008

Example showing highlighted malls.

The ability to choose to display/not display different building and/or empty block types.
Suburb name overlay.
Mobile phone mast overlay.
Billboard overlay.
Shows total potential Necronet coverage (and therefore permanent Necronet blind spots):

The title text has easter egg functionality: pressing it loads up layers I find particularly useful and nearly always have on anyway. (This is saving me 13 clicks every time I use it.) However, everything functions on a toggle effect, so if any of the 13 layers that are switched on by this click are already on, they'll be switched 'off'. (That's why it's an easter egg, for the moment.)

Always starts out blank, so some users don't think it works. (Hint: click the buttons.)
Instruction by experimentation: all buttons are toggles.
No "clear" button. Browser refresh does the same job.
Rare (seen once) Firefox rendering bug doesn't apply the CSS on the first load. Therefore, buttons all appear to the right of the map, and all other browser default styles are applied (i.e. the page looks a mess). Refresh immediately fixes the problem. ~~Assume this is now fixed using new renderFix() function.~~ (That function was messing with the maximise window setting in Vista, so I commented it out.)

Add island overlay to show buildings not on the main Free Running network, and also to highlight that forts are a special case island type.
Fix the easter egg toggle problem.
Change the colour schemes, especially for the factory and auto repair, which are difficult to tell apart.

Please place any suggestions for improvements here
