Ive been BEGGING the devs to make the UNEXPLORED tiles/blocks to have a bit more DARKER SHADE because its easy to miss some blocks due to its LIGHT color.
the color of unexplored tiles/blocks looks the same to the color of the burned out building on the map...
here is my map (2) look if you can find where is the tiles/blocks that i haven't been explored.




post your answer (coords) where you think those tiles are...
if ever you find it, how fast you think did you find it?
i'll post later "WHERE" it is...

Looks like you have the entire map 'uncovered' (explored, visited, or whatever word fits here).

I DO agree that the difference between explored and unexplored zones is hard to tell, but unexplored zones look a little darker on my map. Strange.

The color difference definitely needs some adjusting, though.


EDIT: oh, and I think I see some unexplored zones at X4:Y93, 5:93 and 5:92. Did I win? (I had to check the map 3 or 4 times to find them, haha... yeah, DEFINITELY need darker color here!)

EDIT #2: Btw, gotta love your mohawk, Davidson!

unexplored should be totally black, no questions asked.

I think your missing square is lower east side in that long stretch of vertical squares

I think there are some unexplored shoreline squares on the lower east side, but you are right. It is difficult to see the difference on that image.

Harbour side top left?

Im close on Simon on this one, they should be almost entirely pitch black (not entirely)

I looked at Davidson's avatar and I'm having this doubt:
Is it you, Soap McTavish?

I'd love that to be implemented.

Emily and Carl was right it was 4|93 and 5|93... but not 5|92, it looks like it was a burned out building...





yeah it needs more black on it... just like the color of the background for coords (x:4y:93 but not transparent)


@ Anonymous
sorry but i dont know who Soap Mctavish is... my ingame name was the same as my forum name

What's the prize?

@ blperry99
hahaha! ive never said anything or something that there's a prize.


EDIT: i change the typo price = prize... (i was in a hurry at that time or maybe a bit confused! i replied @ blperry99 but i just notice right now it was you cyrus kane who make a comment)

No, no. Prize not price...

You definitely have a point there, Davidson. Surprised no one has mentioned it here before.
LSC, I like your suggestion. As it stands, the zoom feature gives too much information about unexplored areas. Perhaps the present greyed out colouring could be used for specific sites that have been scouted from a rooftop. From the Autumn Leaves rooftop, for instance, you can see the mall to the northwest, and the arcade/playground to the east.
I would also like it if we could use the zoom to pull up information about blocks we have already explored, but that's another request.

maybe unexplored areas could have a "glint"? I have seen it in many other games where the tile would seem shiny every 2 or 3 seconds. That would make them stand out.

As for other requests, I wish the sewers and subways had their own mapa and the save people buttons were on them and not street level maps.

That's a good point.

You and Lord Simon are probably right - the unexplored tiles should be totaly black OR "non-transparent". That'd be enough I think.
How can we know there is building and a back street when we haven't been there yet!


Also agree with the greyed out scouted zones.



EDIT: as for the "shiny" tiles, I think it'd only cause more lags and glitches. The game is pretty laggy the way it is now.

I don't know about you survivors, but I lived in this city for 30 years before the apocalypse. I know every street and alley in this town. I think I should automatically see every square right away!?

But we have the... the... Amnesia!
At least if I remember the first quest right

Oh yea... I forgot about the amnesia.

Oh, wonderful. So now the unexplored areas are BLACK, with no way of knowing whats there... awesome! Thanks for the suggestion!!

i still dont see any changes on my map...

I said that already - problem is on YOUR SIDE, not in the game

it's a bit better since the last update(s) ...but burned out buildings next to unexplored blocks are almost identical...

@ son of sin

Yeah i noticed that also... the unexplored area is a bit darker now.


To the Admin, especially @ Helo (as what Georgosu says the one who's making our maps)


THANK YOU! for:

1. Making the Unexplored are to have more Darker shade
2. Realignment of map 1 and 2
3. fixing the bug (location tooltip) at the 3x3 Mini map


I say Again THANK YOU!



PS.
One More Request though, can you "ZOOM OUT" the map as the default setting and not in the "Birds eye" view?
bec everytime i use the map i need to "zoom out" first before i can use it. im sure im not the only one who wants this... THANKS

The minimap tooltips were pretty useful, if you ask me

Anyway, I don't mind the zoomed-in map that much, but I guess it was a bit better when the default was zoomed-out.

i couldn't find the particular thread about the maps being aligned incorrectly, but this "bug" helped me locate the invisible border between Maps 1 and 2 ...how do you know when you travel from Map 1 to Map 2 to Map 3? does Map 2 start 1 block north of the Baseball Stadium (coords: 20|47) on Map 1?

if this info is in the tutorial/wiki, i apologize for asking here ...i've been searching for an answer

If your level is below 20, there's a red line (border of map 1, 2 and 3) that says its too danger... (cant remember the exact word)

but when time comes that you can access all 3 maps (your level is 50+) the red line will disappear...
so all you need to do is remember the Y axis...


y4 - y49 = MAP 1
y50 - y98 = MAP 2
y99 - y147 = MAP 3

Davidson ...thank you, sir

your welcome
