Melter Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 As you all know they new dev diary came out, something caught my eye in last pic: On minimap is a circle in bottom right with an globe icon. Could this be an in-game world map? If so it is highly psossible that jagex can/has/will code the world map to be like the minimap, meaning you can see the locations of players, or at least friends, in real time! I hope they will add this feature to the game, that would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compfreak847 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 World map? Mabye. Shows the real time location of every other player in the world? Not happening. Even friends would be too difficult to code; think of how small the dots would be. And what about the many areas on a different level? I.E. the GWD.

Yes_Its_Ross Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 It will probably just be something you can click on to see the world map. It actually might not do anything. :x ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrington Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I recon it'll open an window within the game window that'll show your relative position on the RS world map. It probably won't be a full world map, but rather the area you are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't, it's already been done with an illegal world-switching client.

mr_invisable Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 It might be a world map and if it is, it would be very helpfull for new players. Maybe like an upgraded version of the newcomer map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Dan3HitU Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Obviously when you press the close button the Globe just stays there. You press the Globe for the minimap to appear. Unless that X is actually the log out button... [-- DYNAMIC SIGNATURES FOR RUNESCAPE 3 & OLDSCHOOL 2007 RUNESCAPE --] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Servo Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 It will probably just be something you can click on to see the world map. It actually might not do anything. :x That would be my guess as well. People use the world map all the time, but in full screen (from what we can tell from the picture) there is no bar at the top with the links to the world map and such. That button might just initiate the pop up map. Never know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I would bet on the world map. With full screen mode you wont be able to click the world map link so to compensate we will get it in-game.

Maximusa Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I dont know about the rest of the stuff you said but hopefully it is a ingame transparent map. : I dont know though its probably just ganna open a window ingame like when you click skills.

spooferfish Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 The world is round! BWAHAHAHAH! The world is round, you are an idiot, both well known facts.

acowswrath Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 If it showed at least the npcs, it would be useful against revenants. I doubt theyll do that though, most likely a world map or decoration. BOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Would be good if it centred on your own position.

sarg1010 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 yea, its probably just a map like everyone has said. And if THAT is the new interface for (skills, inventory, prayers, etc), i might stick with the old settings :ugeek: Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne.

Julius Casar Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Interesting. Would be cool if you could see your friends around the world in real time, but could be quite a strain in the servers - surely it's a lot of extra information which the server needs to send out?

Ultimakomoto Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Is it just me, or do those emotes look...horrible...assuming they are emotes at all... Anyways, an in-game world map wouldn't work well (though that space below the minimap might show general locations.). Need a new signature....perhaps...

joey11223 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 lol i don't think their going to release anything else big( like a bank reform) with this graphics overhaul. Also can anyone confirm or not whether you can use the new graphics option without being forced to play full-screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psvstef Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 @ joey11223 ,yes you can use new graphics without fullscreen. funny cat :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey11223 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 few that's ok then, i don't think i'd like full screen since i like looking at other sites and talking on MSN while playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomyth105 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 there has been a lot of speculation of this and it is really going to change the game as we know it. i just hope that the new graphics thing will work on my terrible computer. i think it will be a worldmap and also notice every icon thing is a popup now!

BloodArgon Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 @ joey11223 ,yes you can use new graphics without fullscreen. funny cat :lol: No, you cant. Its high, low, or fullscreen. There is no middle ground. Fullscreen is updated graphics. That is that. 99 Crafting :: 39,750th || 99 Attack :: 1,775th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
