Yet another map: Naval Action map

yup.

Set current wind (syncronize with in-game wind)

look at map to get an idea of wind at any time.

This is a great idea.  

Felix, your map is very helpful and useful.  I see people in game chat refer to it more often than any other reference.  In fact, other references are almost never used.

Thanks

Your port battle planning spreadsheet seems to be missing port “La Tortuga”.

The gauntlet is thrown... in a very friendly manner

I went and made a OW wind tracker.

It is so simple and stupid that it should motivate you to make an elegant tracker in your map.

Don't use the test link, it's for beta versions only.

Edit: Use https://na-map.netlify.com/ instead

Will check. Edit: La Tortuga is a shallow water port, use the other sheet.

Updated beta version at https://na-map-test.netlify.com/:  wind rose.

• Start with map tools | wind rose.
• Rose will be restored when map is reloaded (tab or browser re-opened, for example)
• Clear map deletes rose

Please test 🙂 @jodgi

Maybe we can find a good name for it, 'wind rose' might not be the most descriptive.

[Macjimm]

Perhaps call it "Current Wind"  or just "Wind".

Fantastic!

What if the wind selector has the same ticks as the display  and in-game compass? It's not at all necessary but would be neat.

Shouldn't the name indicate the dynamic nature? It sounds so static.

Will think about it. Trouble is that there are no names for the other ticks.

Ye, but then again I don't think your users would react negatively to a 0-360 degree readout in 15 degree increments. It's already established when we talk about points of speed. Modern seamen and airmen also use weather services that report in degrees.

But it really isn't important

The dude that created the 24 pt compass has named each of the 'ticks' both with kool abbreviation and Latin/Greek names. ☺

[Macjimm]

The top compass has easy tick names - North (N), North by East (NbE), North North East (NNE) etc ...  The pattern and complexity is well suited to NA.  A Roman architect, Vitruvius,  created these tick names and also had corresponding latin/greek wind names.   His 24 point compass was used but eventually replaced with other compass roses like the popular 32 point.   The 4, 8, 16, and 32 point compasses can share tick names.  If the 24 point rose is used it is important to remember that some points are not compatible; ex: NNW is NOT halfway between NW and N of the 24 Point.

The compass below shows Vitruvius's names for each of the winds.  I've show this for interest only,  because the naming convention would be much too complicated for most players in NA.

Hm, NNE should be at 22.5 degrees (middle between N and NE), not 30 degrees. Otherwise it is confusing. The only names for a 24-point compass are from Vitruvius and I wouldnt like to use them 😀

Thanks for the suggestions anyway.

Updated beta version at https://na-map-test.netlify.com/:

Wind selector uses a 24-point compass with more or less abitrary names. Do you prefer this? @jodgi @Macjimm

Yes. I do like it.

[Macjimm]

 

I have not been able to get the test map to load

 

[Macjimm]

I have managed to load the test map, but I can't figure out how to get the wind direction working.  Is there something I am missing

Felix, will you add the ship recipes too?

Yes, it is on the to-do list (for a while now).

[Thonys]

this has developed more like a real captains cabin than what we have in the game.

on itself it is weird we don't have something like this in the game actually. 

good job on your part.

[Sir Loorkon]

Thank you very much for the outstanding work you do for us. Your map is not a map, it is the best tool for this game.

v8 2018-12-30

• Changed: new theme (colours and font)
• New: 'in-game wind' as suggested by @jodgi (once you enter the current in-game wind a compass rose will continuously be updated, good to know when returning to the open world from a [port] battle)
• Improved: compass changed to in-game 24-point rose as suggested by @jodgi
• Improved: overall speed
• Lots of minor improvements and corrections

[Rompers]

Love the improvements! Good-looking theme and a noticeable increase in speed. Thank you for all your work!
