Requesting Feedback on New Wiki Feature: Loc Maps

[loramin]

So while I should have been taking advantage of the generous XP bonus weekend, instead I found myself playing with a new wiki feature. The idea is simple: wouldn't it be nice if you could go to a mob's page and see a map of the mob's zone with a big red "X" indicating where the mob is.

Well, that idea is a reality ... sort of. I have it working for one zone, Eastern Wastes ... and even that zone I've only tested with a handful of NPCs on my own machine.

If anyone has time and could try checking some NPC pages of NPCs in that zone (just mouse over the "Show Map" link next to the loc to see it) and then report back any issues or problems, I'd appreciate it. If you do have problems, please report which browser you were using.

Also, I'd be curious to hear which zones people would like to have this feature implemented in next.

Finally, I wanted to mention a new page I added a little while ago; the Notable Updates page. I try not to pester the forum unless I need feedback or I make a really big change to the wiki, but myself and other wiki-editors make lots of great additions all the time.

Unfortunately it can be hard to find these changes on the wiki's Recent Changes page (in part because of all the Magelo edit), so hopefully this page can be a way for myself and anyone else who edits the wiki to let interested parties know of new additions.

Great job, works fine for me, i think cities would be the best first place to start, due to mob density.

Sounds pretty not classic

Listening to you cry was not classic either, so if you could either stop that or leave, that'd be great

Good point. I've added Rivervale, and will try to add more city zones next.

Sometimes I wonder if you are spoiling the secrets that make this game great, but then again its inevitable, if you dont someone will.

Sometimes though I think these are best kept on paper in peoples houses...

Idk how I feel about this one bud. This wiki may turn p99 into live with people using overlays and shit idk... unavoidable sure, but it sure will ruin things quick if in the CORE wiki to p99 its telling new players how to basically MQ2 without MQ2 :/
