zone connections for Story window
Has anyone developed Zone Connections for the Story window. I don't know if this is even possible, but it would be so useful!

If no one has, you could try doing it, just go to EQAtlas.com.

how would the entries go though:
<link>Continent<link>
<link>Connecting zone <link><------Zone------><link>Connecting Zone<link>
This is the only format i came up with in my head.

Here is what I think would work...
===========================
Greater Faydark
---------------------
Contains 2 PoK books at loc:
-200, -870
-2200, -1850
Connecting zones:
<LINK>Buthcherblock Mountains (PoK)</LINK>
<LINK>Clan Crushbone</LINK>
<LINK>Felwithe</LINK>
<LINK>Lesser Faydark</LINK>
<LINK>Plane of Knowledge</LINK>
===========================
And the (PoK) designation to see which zones contains PoK books.
Links would be to simelar pages...?!?
(Numbers for PoK-books are just figurative and not actual locations)

that format looks as though it would work fine. I still think i'd have it subdivided by continent though.

Agreed - now all we need is a coder to make it happen for us

I can't promise with any due swiftness, but I can work on it.

I would have a generic menu sorting the zones by letter. Something like this:
Code:
ZONE CONNECTIONS:
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z
... then if you press a letter like "W" it would bring up all zones starting with "W". Yes, this would be more work, but it would solve the problem of having mega-long lists of zones to navigate through.
An example of a zone would look something like this:
Code:
ZONE CONNECTIONS:
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zone: West Commonlands
Adjacent Zones: East Commonlands, Kithicor Forest, Befallen
Continent: Antonica
Monster Level: 6-30
Known Mobs: ...
Known NPCs: ...
Indoor/Outdoor: Outdoor
The Letter menu should be visible at all times for swift navigation. I don't think you would have to make links for the Adjacent Zones, but you could if you wanted to. Just depends how lazy you want the user to be.

I've got a working format of index pages and such going. It will take time to get all the pages together, but it will happen.
