Freeze the grid reference on maps

First of all, your post sounds a bit harsh to me, but in order to calm you down, we “GUYS on pc” also have no coordinates on the map like you “GUYS”. Yes you read right, we just have the grid marks like you do.

But that DOESNT mean, the coordinates in the wiki are “completely useless” just because you don’t know how to use them. :wink:

But to clarify that.
On PC we have two options to make such coordinates possible.(not many know that)

  • We can open the Map and than pressing SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+L as an admin command to see such “Teleport Coordinates X,Y,Z” but only for the point we’re on right now. By using CTRL+C we can copy that coords and with CTRL+V we can paste it into a Bug report, Admin report, Wiki or wherever. That is also how these wiki coordinates are coming from.
    As an Admin you can simply copy these line into the “Admin console” and teleport right to that spot. Thats all. So you see, no real super duper intuitive compass here for pc players like you thought.

  • The second way to get such coordinates is by using the admin console command and Chat command “ToggleDebugHud” and you get those coords in the lower left corner of the screen. As a little trick you can use this command in the game settings. So for example, i bound it on Numpad key 5 to easy toggle it ON and OFF.

So how can we all use such coordinates if we are not admins or playing in single player ?

There are amazing Modders out there who make some custom Conan Maps and using exactly these coordinates to get shown via Mouseover on their Map. Like http://snowhawkclan.org/map/ for example. (Regards to Mendrak at this point)

So i dont know nothing about consoles nowadays, because my last console was the atari vcs 2600 back in the beginning of the 80’s, and how all this information above can help you with your problem and the usage of the shown coordinates at the Wiki, because i dont know if you have admin console access and if your limited buttons allowes you some SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+L commands or if the chat command ToggleDebugHud works with consoles. But maybe it can help you to figure out how to use these coords.

But long story short.
As you see, these bad PC players have the same problem like you consolero guys, but you are absolutley right, saying that Funcom can improve their ingame map with coordinates on all platforms.
