Completely irrelevant. Discuss the idea, not the poster.


I did discuss the idea by pointing out that all of his ideas are universally bad. Just trying to save the time and keystrokes of those who end up spending20 pages arguing with him.

Ie even if they took it out a modder could put it back in since it's using data sent to the client for tile viewing, not special "minimap data".
It's been neat to see the evolution of a game. Salem has come so far, and still has far to go. Although frustrating, I think it's been an experience worth the effort.

Are they? Didn't realize that.

The sad fact is, even if the clients themselves were banned from map tracking it doesn't stop players themselves from finding a different route in order to make a world map. The world is quite large and eventually cords would develop even without a support for it. It's sadly something we all sort of have to accept that a map will eventually be developed, cause they cannot really stop people from screenshoting mini maps and/or zooming out and making a map for themselves and others to use. And their would be people who would do it.

cannot see any problem in global map. big village will be found even without it and noone use global map to find small villages because there are thousands of them.
