=== Map Toolbar === [[File:Maptoolbar.png|right]] [[File:Cartimage08.jpg|right|frame|<center>Color window<br />for lines and labels.</center>]] <p style="border:0px solid #AAA;padding:2"> <span style="background:#FFF;color:#000;">[[File:Cartimage06.jpg|middle]] This button will Pop up the Map Toolbar window.</span></p> When drawing maps, you can go to one location, mark that as a starting point for a line, then move to another and mark the end of the line. A line will be drawn between those two points. Or you can draw continuous lines by starting a line and moving around adding points as you go until you choose to end the line. You can also turn on the automatic mode that will start the line where you are and add new points every time your character changes directions until you choose to end the line. Here's a brief description of how each of the buttons on the Map Toolbar work: '''Start Line''' - Set down a point where your character is standing. Press the End Line button to finish the line. '''End Line''' - Set down a point where your character is standing, and end the line. '''Add Point''' - Add a point onto the current map where your character is standing. This is useful for making turns in a line. '''Remove Line''' - Cut out the currently highlighted map line. To remove a line, you need to click on it in the map area. Once it is highlighted, you can use this button to remove it. '''Set Line Color''' - Change the current color of the highlighted map line. The default maps use the following convention for colors: * Terrain: ** Outside walls = Black (0,0,0) ** Water = Blue (0,0,255) ** Grass = Green (0,125,0) ** Sand/dirt = Light Brown (150,100,0) ** Stone = Gray (200,200,200) ** Wood = Dark Brown (100,50,0) ** Paths/roads Inside towns = Light Blue (0, 150, 255) ** Paths/roads outside towns = Light Brown (150,100,0) ** Zone Lines, Teleporting Pads = Purple (150,0,200) * Objects: ** Portals (wizard spires and such) = Gray (125,125,125) ** Wood = Dark Brown (100,50,0) ** Stone = Gray (200, 200, 200) '''Join At Intersect''' - Find the intersection point of two selected lines and extend the lines to meet at that point. Holding Control down when clicking this button will adjust only the first selected line. '''Auto Map''' - Adds points to a line when you change direction. '''Add Label''' - Add a text label to the map. This allows you to mark a spot on the map that you feel is important. Generally this is done to mark a spot where an NPC. [[File:Cartimage09.jpg]] '''Edit Label''' - Change the text of the selected map label. '''Move Label To Me''' - Move the selected map label to your current location. '''Remove Label''' - Remove the highlighted text label from the map. '''Set Current Color''' - Set the color that we will draw the next map line in. '''Clear Map''' - Clear all the lines and labels from the entire map. '''Clear Active Layer''' - Clear the current layer. '''Save Map''' - Saves the map to a file.
