Ever wondered where the different towns are in the Town world? You can now see where they all are on the live map!

Earlier today we released a requested feature (https://www.noobscraft.com/idea/town-labels-on-map/msg81878/#msg81878) to display the location of each town spawn on the live map. You should be able to move around and see where each of the different towns are. To access the live map simply visit https://www.noobscraft.com/map/ (https://www.noobscraft.com/map/) or click the link under the "Community" tab.

Once on the map if you don't want to see the town locations simply clicking this icon: (https://embed.noobscraft.com/6148523063446f764c3278684c6e64795a57356a5a533570626939314c7a4d784e4449304d6a55324d6a45354d5449354c6e42755a775f5f) will allow you to turn the different layers of icons on or off.

I hope you like this change, any comments would be appreciated and as always if you have any questions please feel free to ask them too.

Woah awesome, that will be super useful, it was sort of funny to look around and just see random towns everywhere and not be able to tell them apart. Thanks Larry

Thumbs up to ecctv for the idea. The following was the idea suggested.

I really don't know how the whole live server map works so if this isn't possible that's fine. But I was thinking it would be cool if there was a way to mark the towns on the map. Sometimes I may be browsing around and I'll see a cool town but not know what it is called so I can't visit.
I guess one way would be to write it big on the ground so it is visible from the map but I'm curious if there is a way to do it with the map itself.  :D

I think this 3d-ish type map floris provided is the one we should use, instead of the 2d one. Easier to find things, and it looks 5x cooler. Just a thought...

You can access that at https://www.noobscraft.com/map/ (https://www.noobscraft.com/map/) if you hover over to the right side and using the window which appears select to view the 3d view. The link mrfloris linked is just a direct access to the same map displayed at /map/ (https://www.noobscraft.com/map/), it's just easier to remember simply typing /map/ (https://www.noobscraft.com/map/) compared to the port number.
