Viewing World Map Coordinates

Post by qwertymodo »

I often see locations in TMW referred to by location, either lat/long coordinates or by map number (e.g. xx-yy.tmx), but I can't seem to find a way to actually figure out where those locations actually are in-game. Is there somewhere in ManaPlus to display the current player location or current map name/number? Sometimes I can find hints in the source, like NPC scripts and such that can tell me where a particular map is, and some rough idea of coordinates, but for maps without NPC's with scripts or other waypoints I can recognize, I can't seem to figure out where some of these locations are.

If you found coordinates on current map and want walk to it, you can run in chat command: /navigate X Y
and you char will automatically move to it

Ok, cool. That tells me where I am and can get me to a location on the current map. The only question remaining is if there is any way to look up a given map ID (i.e. xxx-y.tmx) and know where in the game that is.
