Template talk:Map locations
Current issues, questions
It's likely that this template is still a WIP thingy but I'm a bit eager to work with it so...
- Need to somehow allow multiple of coords for one obj. I have no idea how can one mark points on symmetrical maps or same stage spawns with multiple zones otherwise, incrementing through their names will meet an object limit and look untidy.
- How does one mark a control point? I mean, it is probably necessary? It's not present on the current Pier example, but still. Some of the better overlays (like the one for Badwater) made by Lolimsogreat21 containing points/pathways and such are very good in this regard, should other maps ideally be adjusted similarly?
- Also, the locations icon that's supposed to be near the list's heading is floating right next to the map rn, though you probably have noticed that.

- This project initially began in July, '21. It has since been stalled, with very little progress being made afterwards as I was the only one working on it. As it still fulfils its purpose, I decided to publish it, as it had been sitting for far too long. Apologies if it's not to your satisfactory.
- The overall idea of this project was to simplify the map locations overview format and ensure absolute consistency without the need of using image editing software to mimic the style of the current image, as it would lead to inconsistency.
- 1) I have not yet come up with a solution for having multiple objects as one, and I doubt it's possible in the wiki's current state. I've thought about automating some aspects of the template, mainly the title and perhaps the image, to reduce the use of required parameters. Unfortunately, it is also not currently possible to tidy up the code with something like loops. However, there are some loop modules/extensions out there, but none of which proved successful for the cause.
- 2) I'm aware that the template lacks some elements, and I did think of adding control point markers but I ended up scratching the idea as I felt it would become too cluttered in the end. I'm all for adding it now that you've brought it up, but lines and anything of the sort are not possible, I'm afraid. Also the initial Badwater overview were uploaded by another user.
