Quick Tip to adjust Automap view size (Gilbertus, etc)

[Moogie]

Not sure if this is mentioned anywhere already, but I kinda hated how you can't zoom out with the automap included in the Gilbertus client.

You can manually edit the code to add your own zoom levels, but that's a bit too advanced to explain here. Instead, you can take the easy route and simply make the map display the tiles much smaller, so you can see more of them at once.

To do this, open up map.html in Notepad and search for the following:

tileSize: new google.maps.Size

and

new CoordMapType(new google.maps.Size

After both of these will be a set of coordinates, like (100, 100) if you haven't already edited it. Change both instances of these coordinates to smaller values in order to 'zoom out' the viewing area. Using (50, 50) for example will double the number of tiles displayed. Keep the ratio 1:1, because our tiles are square.

Or you could just press and hold CTRL while rolling the mouse wheel in or out.

Im new at this stuff. But trying to figure out how to get the picture of the current session saved to where I can post if on our forum. THanks if anyone can help.

That doesn't work, and nor does the normal zoom control slider.

Do a search for 'pinkstitch' and you'll find Mqrius's previous tool, works a charm still.

Strange, it works for me.

And, I apologize if it came off as rude, I was just offering what worked for me.
