This is a great idea. Felix, your map is very helpful and useful. I see people in game chat refer to it more often than any other reference. In fact, other references are almost never used.

jodgi Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The gauntlet is thrown... in a very friendly manner I went and made a OW wind tracker. It is so simple and stupid that it should motivate you to make an elegant tracker in your map. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Victor Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Updated beta version at https://na-map-test.netlify.com/: wind rose. Start with map tools | wind rose. Rose will be restored when map is reloaded (tab or browser re-opened, for example) Clear map deletes rose Please test 🙂 @jodgi Maybe we can find a good name for it, 'wind rose' might not be the most descriptive.

Macjimm Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Perhaps call it "Current Wind" or just "Wind". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic! What if the wind selector has the same ticks as the display and in-game compass? It's not at all necessary but would be neat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye, but then again I don't think your users would react negatively to a 0-360 degree readout in 15 degree increments. It's already established when we talk about points of speed. Modern seamen and airmen also use weather services that report in degrees. But it really isn't important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude that created the 24 pt compass has named each of the 'ticks' both with kool abbreviation and Latin/Greek names. ☺ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macjimm Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) The top compass has easy tick names - North (N), North by East (NbE), North North East (NNE) etc ... The pattern and complexity is well suited to NA. A Roman architect, Vitruvius, created these tick names and also had corresponding latin/greek wind names. His 24 point compass was used but eventually replaced with other compass roses like the popular 32 point. The 4, 8, 16, and 32 point compasses can share tick names. If the 24 point rose is used it is important to remember that some points are not compatible; ex: NNW is NOT halfway between NW and N of the 24 Point. The compass below shows Vitruvius's names for each of the winds. I've show this for interest only, because the naming convention would be much too complicated for most players in NA.

Otherwise it is confusing. The only names for a 24-point compass are from Vitruvius and I wouldnt like to use them 😀 Thanks for the suggestions anyway.

Felix Victor Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Updated beta version at https://na-map-test.netlify.com/: Wind selector uses a 24-point compass with more or less abitrary names.

Thonys Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 this has developed more like a real captains cabin than what we have in the game. on itself it is weird we don't have something like this in the game actually. good job on your part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Loorkon Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Thank you very much for the outstanding work you do for us. Your map is not a map, it is the best tool for this game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Victor Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) v8 2018-12-30 Changed: new theme (colours and font) New: 'in-game wind' as suggested by @jodgi (once you enter the current in-game wind a compass rose will continuously be updated, good to know when returning to the open world from a [port] battle) Improved: compass changed to in-game 24-point rose as suggested by @jodgi Improved: overall speed Lots of minor improvements and corrections Edited December 30, 2018 by Felix Victor 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
