RE: Exit Idea
I understand what you mean but there are two good reasons not to do this. In the first place, an exit can connect to multiple maps. So how would I display that? List of all connections? You might as well click. Anyway, there will always be a learning curve to learn the connections. Secondly, if you've been testing long enough, you will remember that you used to be able to hover over an exit and see what the exit number was. I removed this because the framerate suffered on large maps. Think about it, I have to detect what line you are hovering over, which means I have to loop all lines on the map. This was really slowing things down. I think smooth animation is a priority over this feature. So, you see, the way it works now is really the best I can do...Jim
