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

I hope someone (level 5s maybe??) can make a list like this we had for the MMR 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.

Code: Select all

TimAThing wrote: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):

• Road names/USA
• Road types/USA
• Roundabouts/USA
• Functional classification of roads, USA
• California guidelines for San Francisco Bay Area
• District of Colombia guidelines for Washington/DC
• Maryland guidelines for Baltimore

And now a question: do any of the regular editors for these regions have any suggested/useful WME Validator custom templates that could be useful for known problems in these areas that Raiders could fix? One of my custom templates is useful for finding Primary Streets and Streets without a name, provided they are 20m (about 65 feet) or more in length and not roundabouts, does this need any tweaking for US roads?

Thanks

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!
