mapping tool gone?

[Hoihoi]

having to use 3.1.2 to make maps right now, i can't find any options to draw maps in in V4

[Zaphod]

Please check the popup menu that comes up when you right click in the map. You should find a sub-menu for map editing.

Enjoy,

ohh, sweet
btw, is there a way that you could move the map directory out of the showeq module on CVS? its bothering me that it overwrites my maps in /usr/local/share/showeq by 'make install', but if not i'll just move mine to another dir while they are not done till i upload them to mapfiend.
thats just an idea

and how about an "auto-save" when you zone? i can't count how many times i've been mapping a zone point and zoned and map poofed hehe.

and please add the hotkeys again (ALT + o, ALT + p etc.)

[Mr Guy]

As far as auto-save goes, you can add this:

mapcore.cpp
Line 1059

saveMap();


That ought to save it every time you plot a point. Might slow you down a bit with all the writing, but I doubt it'll be noticable.

[Mr Guy]

Hmm doesn't seem to be working. I need to make sure the map drawing is working AT ALL thought, since this should not have BROKEN anything.

[Zaphod]

They hadn't been put into the new code. They were added in Sundays CVS commit.

I'm not sure about auto-saves, sounds a bit dangerous, too many chances to accidentally add stuff.
