Alright, so the Dekoven manse is bordering on 30+ rooms and very few members know where to go and such. We had a help file with a drawn map in it but it was so hard to use and update. crying.gif So what I was wondering is...would it be possible to get a map maker or something that the owner of the manse could update him/herself? Say something like...you can update in the editor and people can do MANSEMAP or whatever to see the map that you've created yourself in the editor with the arrows and such that track where they are? That would be so much more help than having nothing. clap_1.gif

Any suggestions?

The snarky player of your quietly snarky daughter suggests that you describe those rooms!

But yes, MANSEMAP would be nice for those manses that are more than 5 rooms.

Now to get Rodngar to get out of the forge and expand Amiruo!

I'd personally love it...nothing worse than getting lost in your own Family's home.

So are you, silly. Lateo and Bakery both have CLHELP maps that Mihewi and I both update all the time!

I agree with this, its very hard to get around big manses without some form of map

They do? I had no idea. I just learn the layout.

No I was around before maps, and I usually find my way around Instinctually. The problem is I am a bit dyslexic and any tiny distraction or lapse in judgment could send me going in the wrong direction. I just use it as a safety net if I get really lost. Seeing things visually helps me to remember them and use a map less often, rather than more.
