Droj's World Map
Posted: Sat May 25, 2013 12:50 pm
Here's my version of a modified salem world map using google maps. I've put in a request for a backup copy of imrielle's maps. (this map points to her map resources @ dropbox) If it's a problem please let me know, I also left credit to you on the map page itself.

Main modification is the ability to place markers anywhere on either map. To begin with there are 6 marker types: town, homestead, mine, well, KOS & Ally; I have plans to add more. Each marker's infobox is editable and you can easily paste in html code from imgur or locally even for screenshots. All markers are stored locally using HTML5 web storage. I've only tested this in Chrome thus far but I'm more than welcome to feedback, bugs finds etc. There is also the option to delete them.
I wasn't aware of any other project like this until I conversed with wishy =) He has his own uber map like this with markers and what knot but built in php/mysql for better user collaboration. However he's mentioned it hasn't been updated for a long time and so I said I'd take a look at it and try to improve/merge projects.
To-do list:
- better coordinate system to match grid (game world) coords
- more marker types
-user guide (in progress)
-other overlay types, lines, polys etc
- improved browser compatibility
- import/export markers-json
- possible merge of projects to php/mysql structure (See above)
Can't think of anything else right now but your welcome to suggest.

If you would like to send me your map files to add to the world map, drop an email to mapping@salemres.5gbfree.com with either the files attached or a link to an online source.
