In [[:downloading#SVN]] the lalo-pupland branch has been added to the [[:maps:]] tree however it currently does not contain any of the new work and at the second is just a copy of the [[:trunk]] branch. | + | * The work is accessible as a branch in CVS.

| * [[:dev:Weather]] **will break** above a certain level (I haven't tested which one). That's because these maps make the world non-rectangular; the weather code should probably be changed to assume empty, plain ocean on missing tiles. See also [[dev_todo:fix_weather]] . It has also been discussed that it would probably be nice for the weather system to change its idea of "poles", since even if Bigworld is a planet as we understand it, the area we have mapped is not the whole planet (in fact the [[:world:Scorn]]/[[:world:Navar]] continent hardly qualifies as a continent -- it's roughly the size of one of the islands that make up Hawaii). Note that without that change, Lone Town will be a **very** cold place :-) not that that's a bad thing, might be reasonable (at least gives a reason for being "lone") | * [[:dev:Weather]] **will break** above a certain level (I haven't tested which one).

| This is the name the old scrolls in the Royal Library give to the continent as a whole. They also have [[:maps:]] of all its area, and for reasons unknown, Lord Eureca only allows a few trusted scholars to even look at these maps... | This is the name the old scrolls in the Royal Library give to the continent as a whole.
