Pretty stoked. Can’t wait. Hope everyone is registered on wazemapraid.slack.com :smiley:

Great… Let’s raid it …

Here’s some of the useful resources in the Wiki for the MMR locations (since I needed to find them myself, figured I may as well post them here):

Template: ${typeRank}:${roundabout}:${street}:${length} RegExp: /1[01]:0::([2-9].|1..)/

Thanks

Tim

Nice job Tim. I’ll share wiki link later today. :slight_smile:

Very good my first Mapraid :wink:

This is my first MapRaid. Looks like fun!

I am just getting back into map editing after a four year absence. I edited a LOT a long time ago, but life took over and got busy. I’m back, and this looks like a great way to jump back in!

A few questions:

  1. How long does the MapRaid last?

  2. I have a few engagements that weekend, am I required to be available all weekend?

  3. When does the event officially start and end? (I’m not seeing this listed anywhere). What days and times?

  4. I’m seeing a lot of reference to “custom templates”? Are they customizations using scripts and such to make WME more powerful? I’ve been away from the WME for along time (I was using Cartouche). I’m learning WME, and I like it, but I need to learn about how it can be expanded for power users. Any info would be helpful. I’m on Chrome for OS X.

Thanks, and I look forward to the raid!

    We will NOT use MASS EDITING SCRIPTS, just good all simple editing

Thanks, Tim, for the links, and for the custom template. How does it work? I use validator, but have no idea how to plug something like that into it.

Thanks!

That was a quick fix! I was hoping you were breaking out some way cool off the charts scripts. :x
All in all it doesn’t matter, MapRaids are fun either way.

11

Note that you CAN and SHOULD use the validator script, as it makes no changes on its own, just highlights things that need checking. Just bear in mind it sometimes finds problems where there are none, or misses actual problems. Your brain is the best validator.

That said, custom checks like the one Tim proposed are easy, Once you install validator and have it working, click on its gear icon (lower right), the customer tab allows you to set up two custom checks. A custom check consists of a “template” (a string with placeholders for various segment values such as name and type), and a matching expression. FOr each segment, Validator will create the string for the template by replacing placeholders with actual values, then try to match it using the “regexp” matching expression.

Unless you are a regexp guru AND know segment type/typerank values (among other things), it can be quite difficult to create good custom checks. But if someone supplies them to you, they are trivial to install – just paste the two strings (template+expression) in one of the two custom check fields.

There is also another way to build custom checks by creating a custom “localization” of validator, but that’s a complex topic.

12

When I was in the LA MapRaid, someone made a custom addon for the WME Validator specially for the rules there were in the LA area. That is a usefull addition to have (something like it) for the upcoming MapRaid.

Also, when the groups are decided, a overlay could be usefull to have, to see where your area is :slight_smile:

I hope someone (level 5s maybe??) can make a list like this we had for the MMR :smiley: Just to have all the tools and things in place for the beginning of the MMR.

Note: When using addons, remember that they are just that; addons! Not your own brain or the rules we have within the raid. Correcting something just because an addon told you to do, might be more harmfull than helpfull.

13

I am assuming they will put together the exact same thing as they have done in the past MapRaids. The Texas MR had everything you needed compiled in one page with various links on Wiki, just the same as your link has. Texas2/13/15. They will of course have to break it down state by state. We have a great team to lead us and they’ll get the job done.

Wazer, will work in this mapraid. :wink:

15

it is really nice that all the world will meet in one embrace to our maps. If it were that sport or politics would be nice.

Hi Everyone,
Due to some technical difficulties…
We are postponing MegaMapRaid for 24 hours.
We will resume Sunday 19 UTC.
Thank you.

Everyone,

I Updated the first post please take a look at it.

18

I wonder how will I edit an area in a country I’ve never been in my life?

19

I would feel the same in your country, lz2ht. It looks like you at least speak English; that is a big help. Read the wiki, and ask questions – lots of them. There are people here who can help, and who will be very glad to help.

Hi, Jerry,
You may want to get in touch with the regional coordinators for your preferred areas.
