I did myself a pleasure and did build a new interactive map of the Glimmer Forest and surounding: The Glimmer Forest Expansion Map (https://www.portailsmm.com/cs/GlimmerForestMap.html)

This is in complement to the expansion Nugget (https://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?77377)!

Note:
+ So far tested in all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Edge), on both Windows and iOS platform (feedback from Android versions welcome, tested on Moto Z).
+ This is based on HTML 5 & Javascript, so you must enable scripting in order to make it work.
+ Happy to get feedback if there are problems or some improvements are needed.
+ The bigger the screen the better the immersion is, the map is huge!

I would have loved to have a start view for the center part. I6 (Old Thomas) is open in this screen shoot.

Looking at this beautiful made map..(except for missing Thomas :D .. hihi..) ... i just wish they could make the design better, background wise, and..maybe also connect the "under the sea" part better with the forrest... :)

This is brilliant, however, is it supposed to only show about half the forest? I can see everything to the left, so cannot see the Forgotton Roost, Then I can see the edging of where the game begins because trees are in their various normal colours. All the way down to the new purple tree, Tree of the Wilds. Sorry I thought I ought to check I’m on iPhone 6S.

On my iPad I have to scroll down to the sea and then swipe it across to see the rest of the forest. Try that, maybe?

There is a scroll bar on the bottom of the map, I will make it more visible in the next version. Currently it is nearly blended in the viewport frame.

I had to revert back to the PNG image, which is massive because the mobile browsers do not support advanced web standards. So loading is slower.

I also just finished coding the mobile view, so some parts are smaller to improve real estate usage.

Would there be a way for players to check off the tiles they already have so they can have visualization of their own maps and what expansions are available to them currently?

Working on a plot selection function. If you want a replication of the expansion function of the game, ... let me think.

ShibuyaCloth
12-06-18, 01:06 AM
Update:
+ Plot selection possible
+ Save/Load plot selection - If you want to reproduce your realm and find if back next time you visit
+ Some GUI improvements
+ Possibility to show possible expansions based on current selected plots
+ Added plot conditions (what other plot is needed to open a specific plot)
+ Color differentiation between expansion (orange) & explorer (red) permit plots

Planned:
+ Save current map setup and auto load at each visit (requires more cookies)
+ Legal blabla - using Storm 8 resources...
+ Cookies Policy - using cookies :rolleyes:
+ Expansion needs info box
+ Other cool stuff you want...

ShibuyaCloth
12-15-18, 02:32 PM
Update:
+ Legal & Privacy pages
+ Cookies Policy
+ Expansion Info box
+ Save the current map setting (in a cookie), load it next time you visit the page.


Note: as it becomes a more advanced web app, I cannot test it properly off-line. So you you hit a problem (read bug) please report it here or through PM. I'll fix it for next release.

ShibuyaCloth
02-05-19, 07:21 AM
Update:
+ Brand new forest map with all new expansions
+ Adjusted the selection zones to better fit plots
+ Reduce map download size by 80%

Reminder.

This thread is really only for Shibuya to let you know about updates to either the map or expansion requirements (plus any comments about how terrific the map is!). Please use the discussion thread for questions. If it's posted incorrectly here in this thread, I'll move your post to the discussion thread. Thanks.

Shibuya when I mouse over the Marshland Expansions, the tooltip text that appears says "Enchanted Lanterns", but this should be "Glowing Compass". The icon is correct though, so it's obvious that Compasses are needed, but I thought I'd mention it.

Wish I'd known about this map when I had an issue with 1 square of a plot. Would've been so much easier to explain where the prob was. Thanks ShibuyaCloth, I consult it regularly now. Great job!!!!:mad:
