Compass
It would be a little bit helpfull, for me mostly i guess.and new players, if there was a compass in game. that would be alot easier for noob treasure hunters and just in general when asking for directions. I sugest puting the compass so that it is around the life, hunger and mana, i dont know if it is posible to have an arrow in the compass that shows the direction you are facing. well..whaddaya say?

Here's a tip.

Also if you press F9 or look at the illarion map on the homepage it's clearly in that direction. Or look at the minimap, where when you walk up it goes North.
Code: Select all
N
W + E
S
Code: Select all
U
L + R
D

You can't remember that North is up? Like in every map ever? Like your minimap shows you?
Maybe they should add a keyboard onto the screen to show you where the shift button is too, and what the right mouse button is.
Why add new graphics and code to cater to 1 person who can't realise that North is up?

This is a valid concern!AlexRose wrote:You can't remember that North is up? Like in every map ever? Like your minimap shows you?

I often find it difficult to remember that North is up.
With this in mind I coded a sophisticated solution to help me remember.

By then, one should be able to know what and where left, right, up and down and North, East, South and West is. Of course there is a minority who have a debility in that matter, but they should be able to help theirselves e.g. as Velask did using a note on the monitor.General Rules of Cunduct wrote:Illarion is only suitable for players 16 years of age and over.
Perhaps on a new map there could be a small compass, if it fits, like here on the top center.

I'm not sure how I can stress the fact that Norwegians are not in general retarded, without making fun of my dear countryman here... So i'll leave it at this.
Seriøst... Det er jo akkurat som på et kart. Opp er nord, venstre er vest, høyre er øst og ned er syd. Hvis det hjelper, så spill med tilted map.

ikke alle vet det, sånne som meg som glemmer slike ting med gjevne mellomrom./not everyone knows this, people like me that forget it often.
again just a proposal. a simple yay or nay from the devs was all i needed and it was given.
