Template talk:Map:Midnight Ocean charts

I can't help thinking that there should be a way to merge this information with the main map. Suggestions. --Barrister 22:58, 8 May 2006 (PDT)


 * Okay. Solid lines are for purchasable charts.  Dotted lines are for pillageable-only charts.  Opinions? --Barrister 03:30, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * Map seems to not display properly to me. I have lots of thick grey lines that 'streak' from points in the center off the right side of the map. --Sagacious (talk) 04:13, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * I'm not having any display trouble. Are you still seeing this?  Which OS and browser?  --Barrister 15:41, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * I like the idea. The solid horizontals seem to be a shade too thick, though - it almost seems like the horizontals and the diagonals are indicating different things. --Zava 07:00, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * Agreed. I've tweaked the image to be thinner.  --Barrister 14:27, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * Using IE7 + Win XP SP2. And yes still seeing it. --Sagacious (talk) 15:52, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * Streak to the right? My television seems to do that with certain colors. The problem probably lies in your monitor, try adjusting the cords. 15:57, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * I can only hope that suggestion was a joke :-/ --Sagacious (talk) 15:59, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * Sadly, no joke, (I usually fix my TV with a good whack.. but I doubt you'd want to) 16:04, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * I'm seeing the problem on IE6 with Win XP, too. But I'm also seeing the problem on the original page: Template:Map:Midnight Ocean --Barrister 16:08, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * Ooooh yeah. Same here :-) --Sagacious (talk) 16:14, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * Yet another reason that firefox dominates. 16:19, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * It shouldn't be like that...why make things that only work for some people and not the majority? Assuming of course, most people browsing the wiki have IE. --Sagacious (talk) 16:39, 19 May 2006 (PDT)

I agree that the wiki should work on as many browsers as possible. That being said, I have no idea why IE doesn't render the maps correctly. --Barrister 16:40, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * Because the code that is used to make the maps was written by someone using Firefox...and has never been changed even though they screw up for the majority of wiki users. Although nice, surely there is other code to make maps? --Sagacious (talk) 16:43, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * Perhaps it's how the image is colored is what's breaking it. We could always change the Chart_- templates and upload images of every single color. Tedious, but I believe it will work. 16:54, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * I'm gonna go ahead and test this theory in my user page. 21:08, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * Alright, what I've found out so far: The images used are transparent and the color is supposed to lay underneath it, in IE however, the color seems to instead go above the images. I'm not skillfull enough at the codes to fix it, but I'm assuming you're gonna have to have an image of each league at each color, or force the colors to stay below somehow. 21:28, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
 * Check out Template_talk:Chart to view Callistan's list of known problems and to follow how he developed the charting system. You may also want to get in touch with him to talk it over.--Fiddler 21:34, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
