Hi all,

I'm proud to co-announce a very nice plugin for Batclient: Area Mapper! This is a plugin created by Glaurung, an active contributor to the player community.

The plugin version 1.2 is now available for download under http://www.bat.org/client-plugins or directly at http://www.bat.org/batclient/plugins/uber-batMap-1.2.jar

Place the mapper under /plugins -directory in your batclient installation and then issue the command "set client_mapper_toggle on" in-game for the mapper to start automatically mapping areas for you. (Note that you can also include your own notes on a per-room basis.)

Please also see the accompanied information http://www.bat.org/batclient/plugins/uber-...leaseManual.txt

Glaurung's post on in-game discussions is available here: http://www.bat.org/forums/ingame?a=view_po...up_name=general


Many Thanks for the effort! Please direct all future suggestions/bugs to Glaurung.

Here's an update from Glaurung on "What's under works for the uber BatMUD mapper!"

QUOTE
Requested:
- do something about the exit tags, they are not visible enough, maybe
- put scrolling or "hissit" in the notes window so its easier to use, maybe
- Add a button to programatically place the rooms again, incase I have accidentally messed up, maybe
- Add some way to color rooms, the notes is great, but running around its slow to read notes, I'd like to be able to put a see by a glance if I'm about to run into a room with a dester for instance.surely
- make batmapper window save size and position, need to investigate
- make special exits a different color perhaps, sure why not
- make minimize button work, same as realm map, need to investigate
- make some way to search through areas for descs, sure
- would be nice to look at areas, sure, have to figure out whats a good way to implement it
- only way to re-open closed batmap is to restart, its fine for me, but ill look into fixing it sometime

Already Done for version 1.3:
- when putting empty name for exit, it will delete it
- when resizing mapwindow, notes panel will also adjust in length
- batmapfiles will be from now on saved under batclient/conf/batMapAreas/ the plugin will migrate the files to the new location and cleanup the old directory

Buggy things or areas still to be checked out:
- crack
- batclient starting from startmenu in windows 7 -> will be fixed with new data location
