Dojo Architectural Layout Map

[VoidWraith]

I feel that despite being able to create/build dojos and rooms for it, we should have a map layout (preferably 3D render?) of our dojo. There are times where I just want to see the layout of my/our dojo but I cant really see/don't know what I'm seeing since the maps/rooms are overlayed on top of each other.

 

It can also be helpful in future designs as well. Perhaps even maybe have a special one-time only event where we can move the rooms around once/if this idea ever gets implemented. At the moment, the map layout is very clustered and it's hard to even "see" your dojo on the architectural designs of it.

 

Let me know what you guys think. Or maybe this idea was already annouced/suggested. But I just don't see it, while I was searching this part of the forums.

So like, a level editor perspective of the dojo?

ME GUSTA.

Hells yeah. Chances are, if the room moving ever happens, it will be a platinum purchase.

Good and previously suggested idea, I'm the dojo architect of my clan and my method is quite involved when DE could ease it so much, I've gone around the dojo and taken screenshots of the minimap to get each room tile, then processed those screenshots into only the room in black and white outline, then in photoshop arranged those tiles into the dojo's layout on multiple floors, it's a good map of the dojo but it requires manual updating when we change the dojo, and it's not in-game, it's on the clan's forums etc.

 

If DE gave us an actual map and made it editable by architects to edit the dojo itself would be very nice, and time-saving on my part.

The thing is the map layout of the dojo should be part of the game. It should clearly show where is where. When i want to create a new room/hallway to the floor/map, it shows up all cluttered and everything on top of each other. We should not have to go out of a game (ie: photoshop) just to be able to do/add something to the dojo. The map should show the entire layout as a 3D render or just the layout of the floor you are currently on. It can be nice to also include decorations in each room/hallway as well (but this is asking for too much already).

[KriLL3]

Yeah agreed, a very weird omission from the game, though frankly there are a lot of those, like a clan management UI

 

Here is my effort btw:

 

 

Haven't updated it for the new-new dueling rooms yet...

See? It should be something like this. Or like a 3D render of it like how our current arsenal UI is. The layout you made is well done by the way.

[KriLL3]

Thanks, and yeah I spend hours total making that picture by manually combining screenshots of the minimap etc, very inefficient way to do it.

 

The obstacle courses especially were a nightmare to stitch together into one tile.

A map for the Dojo is something that would be VERY nice.  KriLL3, I may just steal your idea there and make a map like that for my Dojo!  You did a fantastic job, and I do NOT see why DE cannot make a simple map.  just take the mini-map, and bind and expand key to something like "M", then expand the mini-map over the entire screen.  In practice, it would be harder, but I doubt it would take a dev team very long to produce a nice result.

I like how DE added the map feature to enlarge and be displayed across your screen like it does, but It would still be nice to make a 3d render for your dojo so architects can just add in rooms for any floor from any control console.

btw, how to make like this? you have a layout of each rooms... im trying to make one, by editing rooms and arrange it, but how? is it kind of photoshop?

i would like to have a layout png images of each room if you guys willing to share ;)

[KriLL3]

I print-screened the minimap and stitched it myself, took ages, now you just need to capture the large map shown with M.
