QUOTE (simplexio @ Jul 13 2010, 08:30 AM)  I got this Idea, how about creating page into shadowrunWiki which has Name, GPS point and short description or reference to book in some useful format. So that people could grab it and use POI data in Google maps overlays or whatever people use for their map drawing. That could be useful tool for community. Other ideas include taking current height data and change it according shadowrun rule books (you need height rastermaps for this, available for free), Overlays like 1w6 site has about ratings in area, etc. Just publish them in some usable geodata format and it should be easy to people add their own tools. Best part using standard geodata formats is that you can overlay all that data into Google Maps and/or use all existing geodata with shadowrun data. THIS is a great idea. Having GPS point info would make it really easy to add new locations. I say we put this in Community Projects. |

I'm guessing that the original German version used custom map tiles to have the neighborhood security codes showing (AAA, AA, etc.) and the red boundry lines. Perhaps the zoom was restricted by the resolution of said map tiles.
Can letter-groups be used as pins on Google-powered maps ? What about the red lines between Downtown, Pullyup, etc. ? |

I'll be looking into this next, actually. That's one of the things I really like about their version. The security codes should be the easy part, apart from a bit time consuming. I can use opaque .png files as markers and place them accordingly. Getting the lines drawn on the map might be tricky... If anyone wants to take a stab at either one, setting up a Google page is actually pretty easy - but I'm forced to use the outdated version in order to keep the marker codes without having to rewrite them all. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documenta.../javascript/v2/ Here is everything needed for the map page that I'm using: http://shadowrun.chinagreenelvis.com/map/map.zip Just replace the first javascript link in the index page with the one that Google gives you and you should be able to upload it to whatever site you designate for your key. |

QUOTE (Mäx @ Jul 13 2010, 02:13 AM) Well nice job making it more zoomable, but its not really cool to steal other peoples work like that. Dude, guys. It's just a re-icon'd version of this already posted on dumpshock google map. Looks like it has a bit more info, but I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that he borrowed the information that was there and just added to it for his own use. |

Anywho, awesome. I started the community project thread for it here, so we can let this one die. |
