March 26, 200719 yr Friend Finder, World Map Add-On *REDESIGNED* Table of Contents 1.1 Summary 1.2 The Big Idea 1.2a What Now? 1.2b The Green Dots 1.2c Preferences 1.3 Integration 1.2a PM Function (Not Pictured) 1.4 Supporters 1.1 Summary Looking at your friends Friend finder is a world map addon, that allows you to log into the world map, and view the location of your online friends. Quite simple, really. 1.2c Preferences In game, on the tools menu, underneath your house information button, there is a little "Beacon" button. If you click on that, it brings up the menu to control your friend finder preferences. YOu can set WHETHER YOU WANT TO BE SEEN by friends, the public, or noone. PLEASE, I'M BEGGING ALL OF YOU PEOPLE WHO SAY "WELL THIS WILL RUIN FIND-ME GAMES" AND SUCH, READ THAT PART!!! You can also set the duration between pulses to the server. Pulses tell the server where you are, so the map won't exactly be "Real-Time", but will give an idea to the are the person will be. You can set the duration to five minutes, 10 minutes, or 15 minutes, along with auto pulsing after transportaion (gliders, teleport..., not shown). There is also a button that will let you manually pulse the server, instead of waiting for your time. Preferences 1.3 Integration This new and improved map will show you where you are, have a built in PM function (Not Pictured), and you will be able to manage your friends list at the same time. 1.3a PM Function (Not Pictured) This map includes a PM function, that will let you chat with your friends, without leaving the map interface. Okay, I know some of the pictures are horribly photoshopped, but they just try to get the point across.

March 26, 200719 yr Good idea. I support. If you choose your beliefs/lifestyle simply based on what your parents want, then you are a weak minded individual and are not even worthy of calling yourself a person.
March 26, 200719 yr Great idea. This feature, however, might be unfair in the Wilderness, though. ARENAscape: Baratus [AS] max hit: 166 with Moon Battle Hammer ixfd64 [AS] max hit: 116 with (untitled spell #2)
March 26, 200719 yr Its only unfair in the wildy, if the person's Private was on. I support, with this I can give directions to my "newb" friends, without having to them following me around. ~Ddaanniiellh : 1437 : 173Lowest Combat to 1,000 Total in F2P (23 Combat)Check me out on YouTube!
March 26, 200719 yr cool idea i support... off topic: please click here to see my suggestion on new respawn locations .::>Atza<::..::My sig shopSatans Assasins::.
March 27, 200719 yr I like this idea, but I just have to say, your friends may be stocking you with this. :ohnoes: :uhh:
March 27, 200719 yr Support, I like knowing where my finds are without asking, then i can scare them... whooo Luck be a Lady
March 27, 200719 yr Support'ed. It would be great to be able to meet friends in places without requiring extensive directions. "Okay, I'm at the Khazard battlefield..." "where's the khazard battlefield?" With the map: "Okay, meet me." "Okay, I see you're at the Khazard battlefield. I'm on my way." And of course: "Hey, why'd you stop at most farming patches?" "Oh, just making my rounds." Which ^ is used instead of: "OMG what's taking you so long!?" "I'm doing my farming rounds, duh" Yeah, good idea. ...............___@@@ ___-----weeewoooweeewoooo......____//_____?___\\__ ___----,o-----GrammarPolice ----@)----`----(@)=========(@)- `Skiller: Maurdin, Black(omgracist) pure: Alotofnoobs

March 30, 200719 yr There's 2 issues that would be the reasons why I say this shouldn't go... 1) Imagine the server load: The map would tap into ALL 140 game worlds and look for your people. This would all be channeled into one or 2 servers for the purpose of the map, which would put a nasty load on the servers. Imagine the people with 50 some friends on at any given time... Ouch! 2) When you log onto the map, it would potentially interfere with your in-game login. You could set it up where you could only use the feature when you are logged off yourself, however it would be hard otherwise because the game would have to learn the exception that if you're viewing the map, you can be in the game, and it has to route friends data to two places. In addition, it'd have to figure out where you are when displaying you to your friends on their friends list. don't worry, you are going to "hell" anyway. wanna race to see who gets there first?Officially reached 100 Combat at 1:33PM EST, June 14, 2007First Dragon Drop: Dragon Chain (Dust Devils) @ 10:48PM EST, July 14, 2008, lv113 combat

In addition, it'd have to figure out where you are when displaying you to your friends on their friends list. 1) Maybe it could be so that you have to type in a name, or select a name from your friends list (which would be feasible, sort of like the hiscores), and you could only view one at a time. 2) I don't really know how those guys would program it up, but even, put simply, runescape is set into coordinates, and those coordinates would correspond to the map, and the map would know. Just an idea. Thanks for all the support. All I can say: KEEP IT COMIN'! Last.fm Signature Overlays
April 1, 200719 yr I like the idea but have it so they have to have you on their friends list for it to work otherwise you could track people into the wild (bad)
