Planet LV-624 map updated w/ building names

Post by Rahlzel » 01 Sep 2015, 17:32

Our wiki is now updated with a new map showing the building names for Lazarus Landing:

I thought I'd make it a sub-announcement here to let everyone know, since I think it'll help a lot when giving orders to go to X or to set up a FOB at Y.

And in case anyone is wondering, the map will not show anything more than the base itself to help a bit against metagaming and make the experience more mysterious and real.

On a side-note, I'm going to look into getting this map in-game somehow for reference. Maybe like a blueprint-looking item that opens a wiki link to the image.

This will definitely help avoid confusion.

Here's a preview of the in-game map. I've got it attached to the "book" object, so the chat message is a little wonky. I'll improve on that. The object itself is based on the blueprints, but recolored green (bottom-left).

I guess this can work... By any chance would you make a table that shows a hologram map of the base that allows the Commanders and bridge officers to mark territory. Like table top risk.

Possibly in the distant future.

Latest Bay (I think.. it might be TG) has something similar with their AI. The AI can open a minimap and see a small dot showing where people are.

Sort of. You open up a map image file and it gives you a rough indication where a whatever is. It'd be possible to do for this, too, showing SLs on it, but you'd still need the image of the map, set that up right and proper, and I don't believe you could make it intractable in any way. (As in planting your own stuff and so forth.)

Personally I've never seen the thing actually work, either, so.
