Kallisti Wharf Badges and Plaques popmenu

[SnoBahr]

 

 

This goes counter-clockwise-ish around the map, with the Base Portal as the starting point. It gives what badge the thumbtack it places is for in Local Chat, because there's so. Many. Plaques. it's easy to forget one's place. I figure @AboveTheChemist will put this in his TSPMenu, which will be awesome. This is my stop-gap measure until that time.

Edit: The screen pic is the original, before I found the (currently 2) mistakes, but the MNU and map are updated.

Another edit: AboveTheChemist has updated his TSP version, so I won't be making any further updates to this.

That is actually not that far off from the 'optimal' travelling salesperson path, well done! And I'd wager it didn't take you 24+ hours of computation time, not counting the many failed attempts because the solution ate up all the memory on a machine with 64GB of memory.

It took me about 2 hours, as the coordinates were already given. About 20-30 minutes doing screen grabs with the thumbtacks in place, and pasting that into Photoshop, then stripping those layers to just the placement of a given thumbtack per layer (labelled by which plaque/badge). I then made another layer for just my path, eyeballing it. The next hour was taken re-ordering the layers in Photoshop to be in path order.

Silly me, I assumed that the Paragon Pride plaque wasn't going to get moved *to the opposite side of the map entirely*, so I didn't bother changing/looking up *that* coordinate. The first version I posted was tested with characters who already had the Bicentennial Badge, so never clicked/checked the area, until I brought through a character who *didn't* have it. And I was looking around the original area, like, WTF? Where'd it go? And that's why I had to completely readjust the .mnu. 

It's nowhere near as elegant as your TSP rig. Hell, that thing has taught me a lot about popmenus :D

Thanks for the kind words! Aside from the version notes, that beast and the accompanying bind files/folders are generated entirely via a Python script.

Thanks Snobahr!  Made grabbing the badges easy yesterday.   (Now if we could get around having to restart the client when loading popmenus...)

Cheers!  I'd spent a couple hours and several orbits missing the plaque on the side of the Langston Corp building.
