I miss Magellan.
It was a lovely little plugin that showed you the outline of the map of the nearby area of the dungeon you were currently running around in.
It marked off where you had been and where you had yet to explore.
For those of us who still explore, it was a handy tool. From what I understand, its original code is not compatible with the current AC format, and the original owner has no time to update it.
Does anyone else miss this as much as I do?
Enough perhaps, to revive it?

I, too, wouldn't mind seeing this nice plug-in make a comeback.

I think the problem was more that nobody had the source code for it. I still have the original installation file around here somewhere, might even have the updater somebody made for it, but ... This was one of my favorites as well, it sure helped on that darn quest for the encrusted bloodstone jewel where you had to run the maze to find the notes

I have go arrow and I dont like the maps of the dungeons. I liked how Magellan was just like a wire frame and moved with you through out the dungeon and you could also track where you had been under the options.

I made the Updater for it (and it's still being hosted... who knows if it works anymore).
As for the source code for Magellan... there are a select handful of people with the code (and/or knowledge of AC data cells required to fix it)... they're all currently busy.
I'm with you that it was a great plugin (when it wasn't glitching) but I don't know honestly when it will be revived unless someone starts over from scratch.

The updater, Drakier, returns 'file not found' and 'Error Code 2 - File Doesn't Exist' errors
But thanks! |

I figured as much. It's been AGES since I've had that working. at LEAST 2 or 3 years since I touched the code for it.
I mean.. it was written in VB6! When was the last time I did that? *grins*
Perhaps I should remove it from my site? *shrug*
