Is it possible to have the option to toggle this on and off? Its been 3 minutes and its already annoying LAUGHING OUT LOUD LIKE A MORON.

All the scripted bosses need /ears.

When the trees catch on fire, is the ""You see a a dead tree, owned by eggmceye."" description intentional?"


THIS MAP IS AMAZING! THANK YOU LM AND EGG!

Love the new maps! Though stepping on rainbows felt a bit unintuitive. I can't wait for an apoc gauntlet-style map!

Thanks for the feedback.
@LaughingCoyote: yes that was intentional to prevent pick ups.
@Speed: I see what you mean as perspective kinda changes from top down to side view and back to top down. Try to imagine that the watertiles are the blue sky and the whiteblocks are clouds. There is another section in the map that is supposed to be sideview, well actually 2 sections.
Some items lying around, mostly on tables, can be 'a'ctivated.

the double a is a result of how the "l"ook command works.
For maptiles it is: "You see *maptile*"
For items it is: "You see an *item*"
Now, depending on the maptile its name has an indefinite article included or not. E.g. You see grass, but you see a pot plant. When you convert a maptile into an item the "l"ook command will handle it as an item as well and will show "You see a *Item_maptile*" with *item_maptile* either "a pot plant" or "grass".
However, it should be "You see an a dead tree"

I really need to make some scrolling clouds abd twinkling stars eh? Sounds like you had a blast making the map. I should run a ng in there.

Thinking on interactions with environment in maps can all of the following trigger effects: (most i know via the ladder)
a)ctivate
l)ook
s)earch
shift use
attack
step on.
Are there others? Casting spells or being in a specific polymorph or having certain spell effects active affecting what the environment triggers?

I think egg wanted at to at one point have shovable object, movables, and various interactive effects in the game like u1-6 (maybe latter but mostly 5-6). Perhaps most of that works better in a turn-based game.

Yes it was fun to work on it, but than it took over 5 years to get it into shape (not finished mind you).
A big thanks to Egg for reviewing and fixing stuff.

Speaking of egg he also released an update to maped for those wondering. Sometimes i wonder how many read the forums. I try to get some people intered in discord and forums but i certainly have forgotten about twitter/facebook/other.

Funny think about ultima games and the e)ntering towns. I know the green message can be annoying and maybe control panel option to shut off would be good, but some of the older games like ACS didn't have space to enter. It dealt with portals more or less; step on and transport which I was so glad maped has.

For mapping as a player and finding hidden stuff this new fearure is pretty cool since not everyone is an oldschooler. I recall some complaints about minimap ruining the game or scrolls of mapping. I remember Richard G. pondering peergems even back in the ultima days. And there are compulsive mappers who will enjoy these functions and more.

I was watching a video on old wolfenstein and doom about being a 2d game giving impressions of 3d and looking at wolf 3d made me think on egg's 3d engine he had a while back. I still haven't gotten it to work in ages and wonder if you have had any luck?

Just have a small tute on newbie isle (or message) about disabling help via a toggle in the f12 menu. Maybe it spoils maybe it doesn't (shrugs). Extra work just to hide a few entrances. If I were to go by the few off the top of my head: Haunted forest entrance, Troll Bridge, Dark Forest (on the island near the orc desert town), Tangled Forest. I don't recall any others on New Sosaria map.

Troll bridge is where a few of us camped before MIB was fully created; according to Rurik. Some of those years I don't recall so well. Funny that MIB had a few different leaders when I resigned for a while to PD. Yes we were homeless and it was a good sort of hidden spot. Man, 15 years?
