| I'd like some opinions/suggestions on the "mapper" tool for Crossfire
(found
| in server/utils/mapper.c).
|
| Current aim of the tool:
| * provide a map reference for map makers, to know what exists, show links
| between maps, point to areas where there aren't many maps, ...

I have also found it very useful for reporting missing archetypes.
(Yes, there are still 2 missing in /branch maps; I will fix that in the
next day or two)

| * help find inconsistencies in maps (same "slaying" between maps, invalid
| tiling, unreachable maps, invalid exits ...)

Finding invalid exits has been a huge time saver for me.  Thank you for
this functionality!


Feature request:

On the world map, have some way to display elevation.

The ultimate (dream?) of course would be to have a elevation and depth
contour line map.
