Changing the "Exit Zone" in some areas.
« on: January 13, 2010, 03:05:32 am »

My suggestion is that the Exit Zones (the part of the map where the ground is shaded brown, and if you walk over it you go the world map) be changed in some places.

First off, I get problems with Junktown sometimes. Sometimes when I try to leave, the exit zone is visible, but sometimes when I try to leave, the exit zone is not visible.
Second, I get problems with not being able to get the the exit zone at Reno Stables (I think that's what they are called, the stables north of Reno).

I don't know how hard it would be, but I suggest that at least one row of tiles be added at the bottom of these maps to make it so that people can leave easier.

Does anyone else get this problem?

That toggles the text box? That seems like it will work, I'll try it out next time I can get on. Thanks.

It actually makes the HUD at the bottom disappear so you can click southern exit grids and such.

That does work, but ideally they should be mapped to take the HUD into account. I don't like people hiding behind my interface. Next they'll be hiding inside my start menu.

I don't like people hiding behind my interface.

Not possible to "fix" unless we place blockers in every map in at least the distance from bottom to interface border. This will work for the first few maps, but then it looks just ugly. Also it's hard to explain why there are blockers in a desert map, etc.

Just making the exit grid bigger might help in case of exit grids, but not in case of people hiding in the bottom of the map.
