Add search for marker names / description

Open friwid opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Especially while questing (but also on various other occasions), it would be very helpful if I could search for a specifially named marker. Examples I would want to search for the location of specific expeditions, bosses and NPCs.

  • Add a search field layered over the map at the top.

  • The search field searches for marker names and marker descriptions.

  • When I type a keyword and press Enter, I get a list of marker types if the search keyword matches a part of the name (like the search of marker creations) an all found unique markers if the search matches words in descriptions.

  • If I click on a marker type or a unique marker in the result list, the following happens:

  • When clicking on a result, a little button appears on the right side of the search bar with the search keyword (Like tags I can remove vhia a little "X" at the right side of the tag).

  • The tag is automatically activated and the map centers and zooms in to the found marker(s).

  • In case the marker was hidden, it specifically gets shown. Optionally override the border of that marker, making it 2px and magenta or something, if its only one unique marker.

  • If I click on a tag, the corresponding marker's border highlight gets removed.

  • In case the search found marker is a marker type and I click on the it, zoom in like in the route search. Dont highlight the markers. Deactivate all other markers except this marker type and all other markers related to activated tags from the search.

Alternative "light" version: I like that version more, the more I think about it

  • The search only searches in the marker categories Locations, Enemies, Lore, NPC, Other. All these markers have unique names. Every spirit shrine, fort, boss, NPC etc has a unique name. It doesnt list or show other marker types who are plenty representated on the map.

image Alternatively, put the marker search in the quickmenu just below the marker position search.

This is just a concept. It might have some flaws, some special cases I didn't think about. Feel free to discuss!
