Yet another map

[slik]

Hey. Wanted to introduce yet another map

 

I'm not designer, I'm developer, so it looks not that good.

 

What is done:

• It's pretty accurate
• There are city markers on the map
• There is ability to view a basic info about cities, when you move your mouse over the marker
• 4 zoom levels

What is planned:

• Update it as often as possible
• Some makeup

Last data update: 24.12.2015

 

The map http://map.shipsofwar.net/

 

 

Updated: 13.12.2015

 

1. Added Layers control to the map, you can find it at the bottom left side of the map
2. Added new map layer (map view) similar to the game's one
3. Added ability to hide cities' markers

 

1) Layers control

 

2) Ingame like map layer

can you make a compass overlay(with infinite lines) when you click on a port and connect the database with the one from the open sea server so you dont have to update it yourself

so it looks not that good....

Well, maybe not. But it has a clear and crisp look, I like that.

I will try

This one metioned by Shuetzenegel is was i had on my mind when we speak yesterday. API map updated every 10 min i guess...very usefull

Beautiful work. Is it possible to make port markers (-50% size) when zoomed in all the way? Circles look a little too big on last zoom.

I'll check what I can do.

[Bart Smith]

I guess ask to add resources list for all ports is way to much? Spanish and British got same color?

[maturin]

This one's nice and lean. I'd actually consider using it while the game hogs my bandwidth.

I wasn't able to get compass lines to work with Leaflet.  The lines would skew if they went over the edge of the map so I had to take them out, whereas, with canvass, I didn't have that problem. I spent hours and hours and hours on different implementations of a compass in leaflet and never got around the skewing if the lines went off the map. If you placed it down in the center of the map and the radius was only 1000 pixels, it worked perfectly, but set the radius to the bounds of the map and it wouldn't work.
 
 
My programming is horrendous
 Canvas Compass - works. This shows the math on drawing lines every 15 degrees.

//canvas  This works.  At the bottom I include a call to draw distance circles which draws circles for every 100 units of distance based off of the knots value in game.  I don't include the code because it is EXTREMELY slow but these nav lines by themselves that I include render pretty fast.
//leftX and leftY are global variables that get changed on mouse click.  It used to be left click (hence leftX), but I changed it to middle mouse button
function drawNavLine(start, end, color, thickness, fast){
  //var fast is no longer used
  
  context.strokeStyle = color;
  context.lineWidth = thickness;
  context.beginPath();
  context.moveTo(start[0], start[1]);
  context.lineTo(end[0], end[1]);
  context.stroke();
  
}

function drawNavLines(){
  var r = 5000;
  

  
  for (i=0; i<360;){
    var color;
    var thickness;
    if (i%90===0){  //N E S W has thickness 3 and a slightly different color to make them stand out
      color = 'rgba(40,40,40,0.7)'//"#282828";
      
      thickness = 3;
    }
    else if (i%45===0){  //NE SE SW NW - along with the ones above, this makes the major cardinal points stand out.
      color = 'rgba(105,105,105,0.7)'//"#696969";  
      thickness = 2;
    }
    else{  //the in-between lines dont stand out as much.
      color = 'rgba(128,128,128,0.7)'//"#808080";
      thickness = 1;
    }
    var a = Math.PI / 180 * i;
    var ex = leftX + r * Math.cos(a);
    var ey = leftY + r * Math.sin(a);
    var fx = leftX + 40 * Math.cos(a);
    var fy = leftY + 40 * Math.sin(a);
    drawNavLine([leftX,leftY],  [ex,ey], color, thickness, [fx, fy]);
    i=i+15;   //naval action has nav lines every 15 degrees on its compass.
  }
  drawDistanceCircles(leftX, leftY)

}

Leaflet Compass (doesn't work)

////Leaflet.  This never worked, for some reason it would skew the lines if the lines went off the edge of the map.


var compass;

var compassLayer =  L.tileLayer.canvas();


compassLayer.addTo(map);
function onMapClick(e) {
  
  console.log("clicked on map")
  console.log("You clicked the map at " + map.project(e.latlng, 5));  //5 is set as the default zoom level on map creation and you need to go off of this zoom level, not your current zoom
  	//$(this).addClass('active');
			if (measuringTool) {
			  if(compassTool){
				//measuringTool = new L.MeasuringTool(map);
				
			
  //if (null != compass){
    //compass.removeFrom(map); 
    //compassLayer.removeLayer(compass)
  //}
  
    //alert("You clicked the map at " + map.project(e.latlng));
    //map.addLayer(new R.Marker(e.latlng,"M 0,0 L 60,30"))
    //var str="";
    var latlngs = [];   //array of latitudes and longitudes points for the compass
    var x = e.latlng.lat;
    var y = e.latlng.lng;
    var rw = map.project(e.latlng, 5);
    var x1 = rw.x;
    var y1 = rw.y;
    console.log(x1 + " , " + y1);
    var r = 100;

Also, leaflet has so many plugins and you can modify both the leaflet base or its plugins for your own tastes/use/wants. I was able to make a distance counter and add lines that give you bearing. I also made it so you could draw on the map, change colors of lines, etc.  I haven't touched it in a couple months but I can point you to the different plugins I used.  I even modified some of the plugins for my own tastes.  My only problem with Leaflet is the compass lines.  I really want to have the compass lines I have here when you click the middle mouse button.  But overall it was fun to use and tiling is the way to go with maps (if you have a program to do it, i.e. $$) because they load so much faster.  It was just a shame with the compass lines.  If I could get them to work, I would go to Leaflet in a heart beat.

Today I've deployed some updates to the map, details in the first post.

[slik]

Just updated the map with newest data of city owners.

Just updated the map with newest data of city owners.

With current PB system port owners changed way too fast...
