Idea: Color coded rooms on the map command

Post by Ishmai »

If the rooms were color coded, navigation might be a bit easier. Weapon shops could be green, inns blue, armor shops yellow and so on.

While this is a great idea in theory, in practice I believe it would be nearly impossible (unless Niila or Dineal know some crazy things that I don't - which is likely).

Room -type- IDs would have to be mapped (no pun intended) to a color. We have shops but not specific tags for different kinds of shops. And repurposing would cause incredible issues, methinks. e.g. an herb shop is changed by some random imm into a blacksmith's.
