Atlas

My (miguel) idea for world is as follows:

Image: Hand draw World map

100% scaled map

The yellow box represents the current world status.

Semos surroundings

This is a more detailed map of the surroundings of Semos so we can really implement it using tiled.

Naming

The actual naming scheme is simply not scalable. We need to adopt a naming scheme that allows proper single identification of the zone we are talking ( village is a bad example, semos_village is a better idea ).

Each map will contain properties about its position (x,y) and its level will be determined by its location. We do really want to automate the process of choosing a new zone when leaving the old one. Also we plan automating the portal system by using stairs and holes to move exactly above and down the current map.

This way we could automate the map creation and zone change feature.

Size

Currently the biggest map is 256x256 and it is the rat_dungeon_001. Maps can have any size, but big maps use many bandwidth on Sync perception, so we prefer smaller maps as 128x64 or 64x128, that are big enough for the player to move on them and it doesn't are a bandwidth waster.

On the other hand, if a map is not very visited we can use a big one like 256x256 or even 512x512, but keep in mind that if the zone gets crowded it will affect server bandwidth usage badly.
