I looked into this Yogesh and there's two things you can do if you have a mac.
First, it seems that python is pre-installed on mac PC's (look here) so you might want to use the source code to run the program.
Second, I made an executable file for Windows operating systems using a program called py2exe. There is a similar program called py2app (look here) that makes apps for running on a mac. I think you have to have a mac computer to make these apps, and I dont have a mac.
Let me know if i can be of help to you. It would be great if mac users could use the program as well.
yeah your right.
Until now I have been developing and testing the program, and for this the data does not need to be up-to-date. But if you use it to make maps it is convenient not to have to update the information all the time.
I was thinking to generate a time stamp of the last update and save that to a file. This way the program can figure out when to do a data refresh.
Does the sizing/scrolling work on your laptop?
I found it hard to find my alliance, does the search have to be capital/non-capital letter specific?
Could you implement a way to use the alliance rank or the alliance id?
What zoom should I use for a full size map?
Also depending on what order you add the alliances the squares can be hidden by later ones, is there any way to show them both or is this not possible?
Also how do you 'un-draw' cities?
The seach is capital specific. Maybe i could add a check box to specify if you want it non-capital specific. I'll keep that in mind.I found it hard to find my alliance, does the search have to be capital/non-capital letter specific?
Technically yes. Do you think a lot of players use alliance rank or alliance ID to search for an alliance?Could you implement a way to use the alliance rank or the alliance id?
screen size is 1000x1000 for a full-size mapWhat zoom should I use for a full size map?
yeah thats right. If you could tell me how i can show two cities with different colour on the same position I will be happy to try and implement that. As for now you have to think about the order you want the cities displayed.Also depending on what order you add the alliances the squares can be hidden by later ones, is there any way to show them both or is this not possible?
As for now there is no "undo" function whatsoever. Best you can do is clear the map and start frm scratch. At this time the program is "used" by only a few people, if a lot of people would use the program more people would know about the program and more people would help develop features like this. I can only implement one feature at a time so we should be careful what to implement now and what to implement later. You agree?Also how do you 'un-draw' cities?
Thanks for the feedback Carf

In my experience the information is correct. If you discover incorrect information please let me know the details.I fully agree, Im just wondering are the actual information on citys fully correct ?
Every dot on the map represents an island where the player has at least one city. So if a player has three cities on one island the island is one dot on the map.Since i was looking for a player, and im wondering if every box is actually a city, or is it just a coalition of a handful ?

When looking for a player you can enter part of the players name in the filter input field. So "Xar" and "ndir" will both show my name. Same for alliances. That helps?
yogesh said:Also i was wondering whether it takes player data from server or i have to download data myself. If it takes it from server, i assume it will be updated itself, but if i have to download players data from server, i have to update everyday.
yeah thats right. If you could tell me how i can show two cities with different colour on the same position I will be happy to try and implement that. As for now you have to think about the order you want the cities displayed.
well actually not that simple because it also depends on the zoom factor. So I skipped that for the moment but your right it has to be fine-tuned

You can correct this in the grepomaps.cfg file
