Map coordinates?

Ellaron · Post by **Ellaron** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 4:41 am

Where are the map coordinates to be found (x=123 y=456 z=0)? Have they been removed from the new client or is there a command to use? I only ask as when there are few people on I like to explore but I keep getting lost

. Also they were usefull to mark where something, or someone, interesting is to be found.

Thanks in advance.

It was intended. They have been removed.

Yar, they have been removed. I also found them useful but the GMs saw fit to remove them. So sad.

They are useful, no doubt, but our characters are not walking arround with a battery powered GPS reciver.
Your minimap should be enough to keep a rough overview of were you are.
If you are getting lost (which is an effect I love), try to find guides who show you the places.

And, just as a sidenote, Illarion Coordinate System is very confusing from time to time.

I'd also like to make note that our characters aren't carrying around a pocket watch, so using that logic, we shouldn't have a clock either. Both are equally useful tools for roleplaying, yet only one was removed.

Well. I'm hoping there are craftable sextants and sundials in the future.

No! The clock is very important! That is what is so good with Illarion that you always know the time, so you don't need to tab it down just to check so you arn't running late..

I'm always late anyway. It's all Darren's fault!

Right.
Forgot to remove the clock, thanks for reminding

Now Martin, that's just mean. Even for you.

The locations could be used for in game advantages your char might gain. But the clock is only to tell you what time it is in your real life, so you can co-ordinate whatever real life you have left after

Watches can't be removed, since there is no day/night cycle, roleplaying time might run into issues.

There is one, but you can't see it in the client.

Click on the "current time", unfortunately I think there is no English translation yet; but the time is given there. 4 RL hours = 1 day + 1 night
(2 RL hours = 12 game hours)

And yeah. The clock up top in the client is your real-time, like Hermie said.
