Notes: (Moniq, 2020-05-28)

• I noticed that many young people did not see "Back" (and do not have access to the map of the continents of Atys). :)
• In addition, the maximum number of markers has been modified, research and events are new features....
• a Patch (in March 2020) added a command, to hide/show landmarks: /showHideUserLandMark (more on Special command).

See in the User Manual, the sections Maps and compas.

Toolbar

From left to right: Back (to navigate in maps), ; zoom + ; zoom - ; center the map (on your position, useful after a big fast zoom) ; ? to search  ; Dynamic Event
Below: IG hour and date^[1] ; climatic conditions (important for drilling).

The map

You can open/close the map with m or using the toolbar - not to be confused with the compass or radar (you can retrieve an existing landmark on your map and add it to the compass).

• The map (M) has 3 zooms. To change the view, or use the scroll mouse on map, and/or clic on a town to see its map.

• 

  Atys global view: to see it, clic on "back". Useful when you need to go in an other continent (using vortex).

• 

  Usual view. Here you can organize your flags - flags color change regarding the category (bandits, path, source...).

• 

  "Detail" view, for towns (here Pyr). User back to un-zoom

• To add to compass a direction: right clic on the compass, you'll see a menu (target, Missions, Mark, animal, team... and a zoom for the compass).

To use target: either after a macro, or after a tar (ex: /tar "harmful ragus"), space bar = in front of you (see all keyboard shortcuts by holding K down)

• The map take too much space on your screen (13")?
  • use the 4 desktops (very often F3 is "less loaded")
  • maintain the Fx key is very usefull, with x=1 to 4 (for ex, to add a 2nd "hand" toolbar)
  • category:Starting Out as a lot of nice stuff for beginners. Patch 2020, Patch 2019.. summarize the big changes in the game.
• Mektoubs/Gubani and Zig are shown on the map, but not your apartment or GH (add a mark on tour map). More on Mektoub FAQ
• Team members appear on the map. Not his friends (F) nor guild or league members.
• We see the resurrection points (rez points) only for the active subcontinent (the one where we are).
• You can now see the distance by right-clicking on the map.
• The landmarks on the map are stored in a landmarks_toonname.xml file, located in a save folder (which is basically under a 0 or 1 folder).
• a Patch (in March 2020) added a command, to hide/show player landmarks: /showHideUserLandMark (more on Special command).

Landmarks

Backup your files: quit game, and zip your folder save (check the date, to be sure it's the right one ^[2]) :p Your personal landmarks are held in a .xml file - named "landmarks_nameoftoon.xml" in the save folder.

To merge 2 files:

1. quit the game, then
2. copy the lines between <interface_config> into target file and
3. relaunch the game. it will merge duplicate <landmarks continent> lines and remove duplicate markers.

If you want to share landmarks between characters on same computer, then rename landmarks file to shared_landmarks.xml

shared_keys.xml (to share macros with several toons) and shared_interface.icfg exists aswell
