New map desktop app coming soon (as long as it's still kosher with p99 rules)

Other than not wanting to bother with GTK overlay, immersion also played into the decision when I decided to draw the map in browser (where the user is already tabbing to to read map information from EQAtlas).

The play flow without the app was previously:

• Do a /loc in game while auto-running the general direction
• Check position on map in browser (note the destination coods)
• Adjust X/Y and keep running until there

All this really does is combine into one action (two if you manually /loc).

The overlay map Mirox is working on steps into the bounds of what I considered risky from an add/app point of view (sure, it isn't rendering in the EQ client exe itself, or through the EQ UI elements, but it may as well be).

Synchronized friend locations was just a fun idea to expand since it is trivial to implement with the base setup (as soon as I decide to spend an hour or two on it).

Well, that is easily fixed with a transparent browser. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
