Chunk Borders #1187

Open Rycochet opened 9 years ago

Rycochet commented 9 years ago

Adding a suggestion for Chunk Borders - basically a way to see which specific border a tile sits in.

Ideally it would be an overlay, and add a dark (or light / custom rgba colour) edge to the border-edge of any tiles that are actually on a border with another chunk.

It would make it a lot easier and quicker to work out distances between two spots - and make it easier to work out exactly what is within the spawn chunk range ;-)

I can see this being useful for very technical players. A checker board overlay would assist in various builds. However I think 99% of players looking at the map would not understand what it was or meant. Most players think a "chunk" is a piece of a candy bar! :P
