So I just wanted to ask if it is possible for the ninja team or anyone else to create a downloadable version of the entire RuneScape map, with the best and highest quality, WITHOUT the icons, such as the bank, general store, etc. Just NO icons, nor names or anything on the map.

Make sure the map is:
-The highest quality it could be, so if you zoom close into the map, it doesn't get blurry. Similar to the in-game map button, when you zoom in, it stays sharp. So make sure the map is at that level of quality.

-Make sure it is the entire map, and not just parts of it, (obviously).

-Make sure there aren't any icons in it at all, words, or anything extra that is not a part of the map itself.

-This is optional, but since RS is a non-stop updating game, it would be nice if every time the world surface is updated, the download of the map could be updated as well, OR there could be a newer version, therefore saving the previous versions as well, it is your choice.


Hey there! Thanks for posting, v ISLAM v :)

I am sorry for such a late reply - please see my post above for the reason why (settling into university!)

I have always used maps with icons and being the awful excuse for a tech person, jsut used ones with icons, but when drawing maps on or creating guides it can get rather cluttersome and a nice clear map could be useful for many different things! I can actually see this being really quite useful, though potentially time consuming for Jagex. It looks like Mod Michelle is positive about this suggestions too ( post here ) so it shall be added soon! :)

Downloadable World Map Without Icons - In-Game Related


Author:
v ISLAM v
Summary:
A downloadable world map without any icons or words on it at all. Just a plain map and potentially one that automatically updates after game updates.


~
Pros
~

Misty Fuzzy: Useful for the creation of guides or images using the game map.

Mod Michelle: See post here in response to Jagex showing positive reactions to the idea already!

~
Cons
~

Misty Fuzzy: Time consuming for Jagex? Is it even possible at this point in time?

Looking at the Bestiary I see one thing Missing.

List of Possible Drops from the Creature I am Inspecting.

At my High Level I want to Know of the Worth of even Spending Time killing these Creatures... Beyond the XP.

Lets face it... A Chicken is not worth me even looking at now.
But what about that Mithril Dragon? Is he worth me Risking anything at all? (including time)
Please make a link/list of Possible drop to one side of the Creatures 3-D graphic island.

(sry, I made a thread of this before I noticed this Thread existed)


Hey there, Figment! I do apologise for the delayed response, but I am back for good now! Mwhahaha.

You can often get fantastic drop information for the various beasts of runescape from some of the Jagex supported fansites or the official wiki I believe but adding it to the side of the bestiary sounds really efficient and a nice touch! Adding it in now for you! :)

Hopefully it can be done!

Thanks,

Misty Fuzzy

Hi, I am not entirely sure exactly where either as I have just got back, but all I can say is if you go to "Game Guide" at the top of the forums on the tabs at the top, you should find all of the information you require there :) You can also check out the Guides section of the forums for any extra information.

Possible to have a list of most-used forums shown when hovered over the Forums button at the top?


Hey there, Abid! It looks like you have already had a lot of discussion about your suggestion on here which is great (even if Calm has left me with unbelievable amounts of reading *glares* :P )

I really like the idea of this, and to reiterate what Calm has already said would be fantastic for regular forum users. I can see the pros and cons that have been brought up by both Calm and DSquirrelGM and will do my best to incorporate it all into the post for you as I definitely think it is a neat idea for Jagex to at least consider. I would love it.

Mine would totally be Website and Forums, Welcome and Guides.

Thanks,

Misty Fuzzy

Forums Drop Down – Freq. Used – Website Navigation


Author:
Abid
Summary:
“a list of most-used forums shown when hovered over the Forums button at the top*

Addition by King Awesome
: How about giving the Forums button a hover-over dropdown list? Each box in the list would go to a major section in the forums. Hover, point and click.

*
Pros
~

Calm Enigma: *On the one hand, it may help direct players to the sections they may enjoy most, and could be useful to regular forumers who can use the drop down to navigate around more quickly”

~
Cons
~

Calm Enigma: “it may funnel players into sections that are inappropriate for their thread topic and hide the existence of most other forum sections.*

NOTE by Calm Enigma : “Personally, I would add drop down links to Community Home (or the Forum Help thread specifically) as it is otherwise quite a pain for new forumers to find it for help. Welcome to the Forums and General could also be nice to have. Yes, there's the risk of an influx of misplaced threads”

DSquirrelGM : “Considering that General was supposed to be rarely used in the first place, with most common sorts of topics having their assigned subforums, this hardly seems like an issue”

Calm Enigma : Become a social hub?

Sleepy! Thanks for posting will reply to these tomorrow!

Some suggestions:


The
News
category on the new homepage navigation could include a link to the
Recent Game Updates
forum,
Developer's Blog
,
Patch Notes
and
Social Media
wiki page.

And the
Community
category could include a link to the
Community Hub
or the
Wiki
.

Also, I think the
Player Power
should be renamed
Player Polls
.

And I noticed there is a duplicate link to the
Membership
wiki page - one under Game Guide and another one under Shop. To avoid clutter, I'd suggest removing the one under Game Guide.

And finally, it'd be awesome if we could have some icons for the drop down menus on the navigation like on the Shop category.

PS: I'd like to add that the new homepage looks better than the old one. :P

Horrible layout. What happened the simple backgrounds. Now my laptop freezes with all those moving things.

Hey everyone!

As you can probably see I'm Mod Shadow ;) and I'm a Web Systems developer here at Jagex, so naturally this thread peaked my interest.

This is a great thread for website improvements, I've been going through each of the suggestions and looking at the feasibility of them all.

I'll be visiting a bit more in future and hope to give you guys a bit more direct feedback. There's a few things here that are really interesting and I'd like to explore, whilst others may be a bit too infeasible (but that doesn't mean they will stay that way!)

Shadow.
