Couple of odd things
« on: April 20, 2013, 12:19:36 PM »
While setting up tomorrow's training mission, I ran across a couple of minor glitches.  Since I am setting up a future event, I wanted to change the event log to the proper date and time for the training.  Changing the date from today to tomorrow was fine, but every time I changed the time I got an error message saying to enter it in 24-hour format ... even if I already had.  I tried it several ways - deleting the original time and typing in the new one, highlighting then over-typing all or just some of the numbers, backspacing to delete some or all of the numbers, etc.  I always got the error message.  If I hit "OK" on the message, I could then save it, even if I hadn't done any further changes.  Not that big a deal, as it should rarely come up.  Just odd.

On the mapping portion, I noticed that if I was in the Google satellite or hybrid and saved locations and clues, if I then went to just topography, the positions changed drastically.

In another thread, you had discussed new icons that could be used.  I see how I can do that on locations, but not on the clues.  Would it be possible to do that?  As for additional icons, there were some good ones under his events heading - "alien abduction", "cow abduction", "zombies".  Are these things individual teams should upload, or do you have to upload them to the main server?

Currently there is no way to change the icon for clues.  I'll add this as a wishlist item.

Currently these need to be on the main server.

Where did you see these icons?

Thanks for the post and bug reports!

Thanks for the quick response.  Here is the site with the unique event icons:
http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/category/markers/events/
In addition to the serious ones: Deadly danger, Rescue, Earthquake, etc. (most of which can be used by teams for MM)  there are some tongue-in-cheek ones:
Zombie Outbreak, Alien Encounter, UFO, Ghost, Cow Abduction (this one might be handy!), Crop Circles (under agriculture)
Fun stuff!

Under Health he has Veterinarian, First Aid, Hospitals, Toilets.  Which could be handy

Under Sports there are Avalanche (not often needed in San Diego!), Horseback, Climbing, and Regroup
http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/category/markers/sports/

And under Nature there are some that would be handy for animal rescue teams: Cow, Emu, Animal Shelter, Cat, Duck, Pig, Chicken, Birds, Pets, Zoological Garden
http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/category/markers/nature/animals/

Under Agriculture there are Farm, Corral, Field, Drinking Water, Water Well, and Water Source

You can also find a Stargate under transportation!!
