I made this website a while ago but never released it, since it's actually unfinished. I decided to go ahead and share it now anyways since I had fun making it and figured I might as well I might add more features to it over time, we'll see EMC Map Hub: http://emc.jdhallows.com/ Thanks!
I gotta say.... I am glad you did!! With the added feature of Global Chat, a Global Map seems very appropriate. This is nicely done.
It's unfinished because it's missing quite a few more features I wanted to add Coordinate search, so ability to enter coordinates and have them pull up on the map Add a box where you could enter a map link (like the one given in-game from /map) and have it opened in the frame Ability to get a link to share the current map location. Currently you can't get a link to a location on the map and share that link with somebody More mobile friendly. It works ok on mobile, but I would like to make it work a bit better I also wanted to create a database of saved map locations. So a list of public locations that people wanted to have quick links to. Think of public outposts like LLO. I would have liked to have created a way for people to create their own secret saved links too. So like for example, doing emc.jdhallows.com/LLO would take you to LLO on the map. These links wouldn't be publicly listed, just something I would provide to the person who requested it and they could share with whomever they wanted. Just a few ideas There were other things I wanted to do too, but I can't remember what they were, atm. There were also some ideas for other tools and websites that would offer similar useful functionality. Thus why I called it the "EMC Hub" instead of just the Live Map Tool
Great ideas, and thanks for sharing the tool anyway, even though you hadn't got it to the point where you wanted it yet. Maybe you can continue working on it later.
