Event on map with link to forum

• I noticed that many young people did not see "Back" (and do not have access to the map of the New Lands 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 and you can use it in macros).
• the toolbar has been improved: a dynamic events icon has been added, search in flags, filters.... Silan has a detailed map of the Ranger camp Patch 916-921 (2022)...

Detailed map of Silan Ranger Camp

For new comers, start with the User Manual, the sections Maps and compas.

The map's toolbar

From left to right (3 lines):
Back (to navigate in maps), ; zoom + ; zoom - ; center the map (on your position, useful after a big fast zoom) ; ? to search ; Filters on your Landmarks (new in JA 2620) ; DE icon (see below #Dynamic Event)
Below: IG hour and date^[1] ; climatic conditions (or cc, important for Harvesting).

The map - basics

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).

CTRL+M open map in big.

• 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)

• category:Starting Out as a lot of nice stuff for beginners.
• In-game landmarks (or flags) are saved in a landmarks_hominname.xml file, which is stored in the save folder - more at Ryzom location.

The map - FAQ

Now, every homin is invited to improve this Great Library^[2].

Back after an absence? What's new in 2023 to 2018... summarize the game's changes (with links).

• 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 (8 max). 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).
• Now you can access Dynamic Events (Kiting invasion, puzzles, Storyline's Nexus Events...)
• 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)
• Since 2022 (Patch 00895): CTRL+M switches the map from reduced mode to full screen. Zoom levels on the map (M) are now independent of those on the full-screen map (Ctrl+M), since Patch 00916.

  Macro to search the map for a landmark

Dynamic Event

Dynamic Event: since JA2603 (June 2019), a blue Events button has been added to the map toolbar (1 in the image below). This blue Events button makes a transparent layer appear/disappear on top of the map, which is useless if there is no event in progress . This layer has a red and white button in its upper right part (2 on the image), which is inactive if there is no DE.

If a DE is in progress, then it is displayed on the map (in orange in the map toolbar: 1 Dynamic Events + a big blue dot on the map) and you can also keep a separate window open to monitor it.

Open the DE window and close the DE layer and the map.

More on Dynamic Event.

Landmarks

Backup your files: quit game, and zip your folder save (check the date, to be sure it's the right one ^[3]) :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

More on Ryzom location.

Tips

• shared_keys.xml (to share macros with several toons) and shared_interface.icfg exists as well
• On Various applications, for windows you'll find information about a windows software (from Fluffy Bunnies) to export your landmarks into an excel sheet, import, and more...

Persistent Map zoom level

Source: https://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/32376/1

For example, if your landmarks_<char>.xml looks like:

 <landmarks continent="testroom" type="user"/>
 <landmarks continent="tryker" type="user" zoom="6">
   <landmark type="29" x="16658.34" y="-31713.11" title="Kami N"/>

then, change it to:

 <landmarks continent="testroom" type="user"/>
 <landmarks continent="tryker" type="user" zoom="6">
   <landmark type="29" x="16658.34" y="-31713.11" title="Kami N"/>

if(!element.attributes.zoom)
  zoom = 1
else
  try {
   zoom = int(element.attributes.zoom)
 except
   zoom = 1
 }
