AboutAbout the map, displays total areas, total rooms, and highest zone
The map allows you to navigate by using the cordial arrows provided to scroll around, you may click and hold to preform rapid scrolling. Aside from scrolling you can drag the map view around using mouse or supported touch devices.
Areasareas are unique locations that group rooms togetherLevellevels are Z-Plane coordinates based on a X,Y,Z generated systemZoneszones are sub areas that exist in an area by an unknown or unique travel path, or when transition you from one scale to another.
NameThe room short name, displayed at the top of the room propertiesBackgrounda custom background color, supports standard hex, rgb, and rgba css formatting and color words, for example: #FF0000, rgb(255,0,0), rgba(255,0,0,255), red are all the same color and valid formats

Custom notes you may want to add about the selected room
Blurred or spacing between roomsthis is mostly caused by different zoom levels due to how the mapper handles anti alias rooms map blur or shift just a minor 0.5 pixel to throw it off just a tad, it mostly happens in zoom levels that are not 25% intervalsLaggy mapwhen speed walking or moving quickly the map may lag or slowJumpy rooms or rooms in weird locations/only room displayedThis is mostly caused by the mapper losing track of internal coordinates or a non-standard exit, this is caused by multiple start locations when using multiple characters.The most common causesMultiple charactersEach new start location is started as internal coordinates of 0,0,0 as it is a new "room" and does not know how it links to original map.TeleportationWhen teleported to new locations may cause mapping coordinates to be thrown off.PortalsMagical or other portals that link two areas together as it will attempt to build coordinates off source room and since no standard it will generate a new zone and set the rooms x,y,z to source rooms coordinatesRemoving a roomwill cause the coordinates to be lost and unless you go back to an already mapped room it will start over at 0,0,0 and possibly a new zone and will throw off mapper
Possible fixes:- Map as one character as much as you can to try and avoid as much jumping as possible
- Manually edit each room's x,y,z,zone coordinates align them up to the previous mapped section
- Move to a known good room then remove the poorly mapped room or rooms and remap beginning from the good room so that the rooms will be generated with proper generated coordinates.
Missing roomsPossible corrupted map data, error with mapper, or browser deleted stored dataMapper not savingmay have run out of storage space, many browsers limit the amount of storage web pages can useAuto walk out of order directionsAuto walk can sometimes get its directions out of order if computer is slow processing, fix by increasing the Delay between directions time until the problem is limited or disappears.
