SRL Archive - General

This is really hard to explain and is probably far fetched but in terms of making scar more capable i think its a great idea.

It involves making the minimap into somethign similar to a compass. Making it represent bearings and everything. This would enable less reliance on symbols and colours and reduce walking path problems.

It would work by clicking on the assoicated bearing of the minimap, and would reduce getting lost. But also enable for mathematics to randamozize walking paths. ** see below for an example.

I dont understand how to implement this or anything just a wild suggestion.

For example:

To get to poing B from point A you must go:

2 lengths at 270 degress
4 lengths at 90 degrees
2 lengths at 43 degrees

Now you could radomize this by making it:

1 length at 271 degrees
1 length at 269 degrees
2 legnths at 85 degrees
2 lengths at 95 degrees
2 lengths at 43 degrees

(my calculations say there the same spot)

A length would be one center to the edge of the screen. and for an example of distance of lengths it is over 50+ lengths from lumbridge to varrock.

What is everyones opinion on this?
The SRL legends would this have much use?
Or would it produce the same problem of current techniques?

It's a good idea, but…
Because the minimap shifts a bit, compass is never aligned the same with the minimap, etc, it can't be accurate enough

Or maybe use squares as the length value as we get near to the mining spot/tree logo on the map for extra human-ness

OR, maybe I've got the complete wrong idea :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you're just making a fancy cover for coord clicking?

You could just do that with radial walking, make the radials very close together… Erm… Wouldn't it just be as easy to get it to click the edge of the minimap with co-ords?

No he is not he is trying to design his own form of a grid system. But freddy is right because the compass shifts it would not be reliable.
