YOU SHOULD USE YOUR NATIONSTATES USERNAME IN THE OWNER BOX OF THE MAP OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT SHOW UP ON THE MAIN MAP BY DEFAULT!
For approximately two months, I have been working on a revolutionary new type of FT territorial map. Gone are the days of static images that have a single point of failure (that point being the person who's updating it). Instead, I introduce the Nationstates Galaxy Map.
The image below outlines some of the key features of this map. This isn't a static image, this is a dynamically generated collaborative map that you have control over. It's very simple to use, with a point and click interface. Simply click where you want to place something, insert a few details, and it'll pop up! Editing or deleting your map data is a matter of clicking them and pressing delete.
This map represents two months of development time and over 19,000 lines of code. I expect there will be bugs - that's why there's a "beta" sign. All support, bug reports etc. should be posted in this thread. For the alliance colours mode, if I've missed your FT alliance, simply tell me and I'll include it.
All are welcome to use this map, but please don't abuse the privilege.
The map has been tested in Firefox 2.x, 3.x and Chrome. It works in all of these. It does not work in Opera or any version of Internet Explorer. Opera support may be forthcoming but IE support is off the cards due to the complicated SVG rendering involved.
