Frontend Map Work

Phase 1.5

The following were tasks/features completed in Phase 1.5 of gamemap development. Some items were taken from Phase 2 as the nature of the scope increased during development.

• Improve Interface:

• Tweaks to the desktop/mobile interface to improvement look and feel.
• Test and improvements to the mobile specific interface.

• Performance improvements and/or moving to a different map display system entirely (https://leafletjs.com/).

• Proper images for the pan and zoom controls.
• Make mobile usable (Add touch events, currently added but not working).
• Minor: Vertically center icons in the icon type list (not as easy as it should be).

• Prevent a path from "hiding" objects below it, including dragging the map.

• Key Shortcuts (do we need/want these?)

• Arrow keys to pan
• +/- to zoom
• ESC key to cancel edit dialogs

• Update map index on name change (a bug somewhere when you edit the map name it doesn't show in searches until you reload the map, not sure if this is server side or client side bug)

Discarded

These items are no longer valid or no longer planned.

• Permit changing the location type (probably not important enough to worry about).
• Have a "default style" list to make selecting display styles consistent and fast (unsure what this means).
• Doubled Maps (looks like there are two identical maps used in the game). This is just how the ESO maps work.
• Switch to a non-paging type pan (unsure what this means).
• Make "showhidden" Make it work for disabled worlds? (sort of working and not important, mainly for dev/debugging).
• Color selection dialog (unsure what this means)
• Fix canvas mode (was written for performance but has some display issues and is not finished).
• Add more missing maps from Category:Online_Pages_Needing_Maps (this is more a editor/content issue).
