[SUGGESTION] Warp names with OSM data #4

Open Rickleuf opened 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In the next update we will have a warp GUI and a warp webmap and I think the webmap and or gui, will only show the name of the warp when it is being created.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to have Sledgehammer giving warps the name of their OSM location and also adding a tag with the player who made the warp. Admins can change the player tag so they could do something like By: Team Benelux This would work best on the webmap to show of where all buildings are and also who made/ is making them. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/758679324822863903/761301879992877116/unknown.png

Describe alternatives you've considered No alternatives considered

So the main idea is to give more information when the warps are viewed from a map? I was thinking about something similar, while somewhat different. Instead of using osm data to name the warp, what about having the option to asign an osm object id to warps. This way users are still free to name warps as they wish, while the osm data can still be looked up and displayed by mapping softwares. Something similar could exist for Wikipedia pages if famous places.

The OSM data would be displayed on the new warp GUI if enabled. More information such as location, description, and screenshots could be saved as well for major landmarks and could be viewed with Terramap or SH Map.
