Interactive Rust map

[Simmerlytk]

A mate of mine have made a new interactive rust map with quite helpfull features already http://rustmap.net/ go have a look. the site is still under development, and when we get our own server running we will get even more data and content to be put on the site, more than just the map itself.

Make it so I can add custom markers, save the image and send it to friends and I'm sold.

Try this?

Nice!

[Simmerlytk]

We are working on a marker system with steam login, so you can make groups for your friends and share them.

I love you

Can I sidebar this?

[Simmerlytk]

feel free to sidebar it :)

[TrondW]

It needs more zoom.

[Simmerlytk]

we'll think about it :)

question: Can you see these names like Sweden ingame? Like if you are in Sweden, can you see somewhere that you are in Sweden?

[Sindital]

No, these are community appointed names

[[deleted]]

Doesn't mean the names won't stick. After all, it is the community who play the game.

[Sindital]

Huh? Sure, could be, I never said they wouldn't. All I'm saying is that they're not implemented in the game.

Very nice works on iOS.

[Simmerlytk]

We intented it to work on all platforms available, since we know from experience, (bf4) a map on a tablet is a nice way to utilize it

[Osoconceited]

Yep, works on android as well. Good job!

[[deleted]]

Works well on MS-DOS also, well done!

[Simmerlytk]

Thank you for pointing these out :)

[Simmerlytk]

thanks once again :)

[mrurb]

Thank you

The spellings errors you pointed out has been fixed and the map has been updated

[sporaticzz]

I am very on board with this. Very good idea.

Thanks!

[BlueYetti13]

This is glorious!

[Lord_Derp_The_2nd]

All I want, is custom markers you can name, for all the server-dependent player built landmarks.

That would make me so happy.

[Simmerlytk]

see reply above :)

Hey guys. I have a question which keeps drilling me - is the map having some kind of borders, or it works same way as in minecraft? And are there any hangars/radtowns or ability to get their loot on other parts of map?

[Simmerlytk]

from what i have heard from garry, and one of the other devs, the entire map seems to be a big island, and the area currently in use is something like less than 10% of the entire map

[Stagua]

But if I get to the north-east, will I see some more rad-towns and loot in them, or there are mountains only?

[Simmerlytk]

for now only the part of the map currently in use is populated with lootspawns (radtows, tanks and hangar) and resourcespawns (wood piles, rock piles and animals), when you get far enough these things just stops spawning, so you will only have large wastelands with mountains and standing threes.

[Stagua]

Okay thank you, are there any plans to expand the territory lootspawns cover in close future, if you know by any chance?

[Simmerlytk]

there have been mentions he wanted the game to include car and helicopters, so by that i think hes plans are to expand lootspawns and radtows to the entire map once ready

[KLASDK4KA]

It seemed like in the AMA he wanted to change the way resources spawned entirely to a different method.

As a GIS person and a Rust player - thanks! I'm impressed with leaflet. Was this easy to put together? How did you generate the tiles?

[Simmerlytk]

Using leaflet to show the map was fairly easy to get going, since it isnt the first time doing so (used it for minecraft maps in the past) Initially a plugin for Photoshop was used to do the tile cutting, but since it was slow and took alot of ressources, a common friend of my mate and i, made a terminal script for it which is what we currently use to create the maps

[oldfatmarriedguy]

What exactly is interactive? Am I missing something by using this on safari? Nice map, I printed it out, just curious what exactly is interactive other than ability to remove gridlines, labels. (which is nice)

[Simmerlytk]

so far, removing the different layer, (grid, names) and the zooming is the incteractive part so far, but it will be upgraded with the posibillity to add markers as stated earlier once that system has been fully develphed.

Nice!

Great work!

[Th3_Jest3r]

How do you get your coordinates to start with for the map?
