Release v1.22.0 - Area minimap

A minimap? Is that all?
Not really. The main effort has gone into load testing and dealing with a load related bug found on the API gateway. But, we also have a minimap!

Features

Area minimap

The area badge has been moved from the Room Info page to a separate overlay in the top-right corner of the chat log:
area_minimap

Behavior:

  • The area name badge will only show if the room belongs to an area.
  • The minimap will only show if the area has a map image.
  • Hovering the name badge will show the full area name and population info.
  • Clicking on the name badge will open the Area page in the right-side panel.
  • Clicking the close button will hide the badge and minimap, replacing it with a button that reopens it.

Fixes

Character names with numbers not targettable
When trying to target a character with commands such as whisper or address, the command console failed to parse the name if the name contained numbers. This has been fixed.

In room list out of sync
Under heavy load, the In Room list of characters got out of sync, showing characters no longer in the room, or the other way around. This was actually a Resgate.io related bug that could affect any type of data.
Thanks @Talon for helping spot the issue during the load test! :smiley:

Error walking to rooms without area
An error occurred when having the Area page open while walking into a room not belonging to an area. This has been fixed.
