Dynmap question

Post by Gman325 »

Hey all,

I've had a bit of a pet peeve about the dynmap since I got here. "I noticed north" points to the lower right corner of the map, rather than upwards! This has got to be incredibly disorienting, after having north = up drilled into me for my entire educational career... Further, the fact that the cardinal points are aimed at corners always messes me up when trying to figure out which direction I'm heading... Does anyone else feel this way? Is there any way I could petition to have the map rotated or something?

I also believe this is a slight bit annoying, but honestly never has troubled me. This is because when I'm using the map, I see a structure and check to make sure my character is moving toward it, which I agree is a pain. But also, I use the coordinates on the top left hand corner, makes everything easier if you know how to use them.
