Waypoints: how to use them and create a marker on your map

[Chrisax]

Wubalien provided a nice reminder about the use of waypoints (marker on your map showing a point based on coordinates you enter). Thanks Wuba!

How to use waypoints:

1. Press Shift+F9 to get Extended location information:

• • Extended location information:
    - 509.1, 447.5, 8.5 (509.1 447.5 y 8.5 540)
    - Pf Proxy: Model=51100:540 GS=0 SG=0 R=540, resource: 540
    - zone: 232, area: "Old Athen East"
    Server id: 3133, character id: xxxxx:xxxxxxxxxx, time: 2011-10-19 02:25:33 (UTC)
    Version: 18.4.10_EP1, map id: 18.4.10.0_12.10.2011_20.52.45, build: 49876.

2. Use the marked 3 coordinates after waypoint /waypoint 509 447 540

3. enjoy waypoint to the agency building

The GS number is the "instance" number, if there are several instances of the same place (stores, Inner Sanctum, many dungeons, etc.). If GS=0 this means the place is not instanced.

Navian made an interesting little command to display a clickable marker (waypoint) for other people.

You can of couse just give people your coordinates and they will enter the waypiont command as explained in the post just above, OR you can insert the coordinates in a special text as explained below, and post the whole txt: they will get a link to click that creates the waypoint for them on their map.

Marker

Code: Select all

<a href="text://<center><a href='chatcmd:///waypoint %2 %3 %9' style='text-decoration:none'><font color=CCInfoHeader>Click below to get a map marker<p><p><font color=CCLinkColor><img src='rdb://11336'><p><u>My location</a>">Map Marker</a>

usage:

• Hit Shift + F9
  • Gets you a clause like this:

    Extended location information:
    - 1116.5, 2691.9, 15.1 (1116.5 2691.9 y 15.1 670)
    - Pf Proxy: Model=51100:670 GS=0 SG=0 R=670, resource: 670
    - zone: 5387, area: "Frisko Forest Gateway."
    Server id: 3105, character id: 50000:xxxxxxxxxx, time: 2012-06-03 10:23:07 (UTC)
    Version: 18.4.15_EP1, map id: 18.4.15.2_07.02.2012_15.41.26, build: 49987.

    Its the line below Extended location information: you need to copy, well skip the ) at the end
  /marker - 1116.5, 2691.9, 15.1 (1116.5 2691.9 y 15.1 670
