questions about maps

[darkangelx]

I opened a map file and where locations are I see:

P,Succor Point,yellow,1291, 3516 and a blue ^M
what exactly is the ^M simply typing that does not make it blue but it seems to be read by SEQ.

Basically I am trying to edit the colors etc and add my own locations and I just need a little guidance.

[darkangelx]

scratch that, I got it to work without the ^M at the end so hereis my next question, I now see that I cant just type /loc in game and plug that into the map and get the right spot, how is the loc determained?

EQ /loc is Y,X,Z
SEQ loc is X,Y,Z

^M is the control sequence for a carriage return (aka enter key).

Some windows editors put them in and linux doesn't see them the same way. They shouldn't be at the end of any line, as far as I know.

Yeah and EQ coordinates are a bit messed up in how they display and are represented in compairison to algerbaric standards. I'm still at a loss as to why they disply Y infront of X on the /loc line.

     The majority of        But EQ uses
     the math word          quandrants
     use quandrants         like this
     like this

           |                        |
   -X, +Y  |  +X, +Y         +X, +Y |  -X, +Y
           |                        |
   --------+----------     ---------+----------
           |                        |
   -X, -Y  |  +X, -Y         +X, -Y |  -X, -Y
           |                        |

Atleast they got the Y and Z axis's going the right direction
