    Interactive map? Empty Interactive map?

    Post by Kakuma Blackflower 17th March 2016, 3:57 am

    Hey folks, so i had a idea... well a long time ago, and that idea was a interactive map. Now i recently saw the topic come up again and this time i plan on going through with it. So my idea is having all threads on the map in a well made map, now the names will be present with a little Graphic representing the place, then when hovering over said zone the Thread image will pop up with a little blurb. upon which then you can click and it will take you to the thread, i also had a similar idea for a Job bounty board. Obvously this would be a huge undertaking but i think it would be worth it. Idk... i kinda want some opinions.

    That does seem like an awesome thing to have, this interactive map, but I'd first of all wonder for which threads you'd use it. I'd say most-likely events, mass-scale threads, threads that have an important or bigger impact on the Rp and/or the land itself, and perhaps any noteable non-event things? Otherwise having really ALL threads on that map would be quite hard to make, methinks, seeing as many threads take place in the same area.

    And then we have the issue with making the map. How would you even do that? Use the background of a post to depict said map and just pinpoint the threads on it, or actually make an entire image of it?

    Don't get me wrong though, this is supposed to be constructive comment/criticism, as I really like the idea and would love to help if I could in any way. :)

    I've brought up making an interactive map on another site before and I was told by a programmer that it was possible, but it would take a lot of coding. Unless you're adapt in coding such a thing and putting it into the site, I see no way of this effectively working right now. It's a good idea, don't get me wrong; I love interactive maps to begin with, but there's a lot of work behind making one. To be honest, the way you worded makes it sound like it will be crowded with images over time, simply to display parts of the site's IC history. Eventually, that's going to become a nuisance and make the map difficult to load. What would you do then?

    We can always keept it simplified at first. Just having certain regions and towns om the map and by clicking them it will takes you to the specific area.

    I can easily code this... I am highly skilled at coding, and it would start off simple cause i want this to be more than me. I want to do the coding but i want a group of people doing art work for it. Perhaps some custom stuff ya know? And the fact is marshy the images wont pop up until you hover over them when you move off they will dissapper.

    This sounds like an interesting idea, although it also sounds pretty tricky and time consuming.

    Well, perhaps instead of having things pop up, why not just have it as Fred said..
    Having it as a map that you can click and go to that specific area forum?

    I mean, sure, you could always make it to where certain locations light up (in the case of the current event) Hargeon would light up red due to the event going on (or something like that). That would seem really cool though.

    That was the idea, think world map with selectable areas. when you hover the info on the area pops up. when you click it takes you to the areas. As for what would be on it all forums would be in some form. for events i can create a "pin" that will hold the event location.

    I second this. Clickable areas to direct you to their respective parts of the forums (not sure if you're including sub-forums or not). Then for large-scale events; pins or other recognisable points that take you to their respective topics would be sweet.
