Extended Location Preview

How to Setup and Use the Extended Location Preview on Locations.


Table of Contents


overview

The Extended Location Preview doesn't require any additional set-up but it will not work if

  • the Location Preview Feature is disabled (in the Settings file)
  • the Location Preview hasn't been setup yet for any location on your Region.
  • the ProgressCounter setting is disabled.
  • none of the ProgressCount settings are enabled
    • ProgressCountItems
    • ProgressCountTrainers
    • ProgressCountSpecies

Below you'll find a short list of the possible Information this Feature can provide you.


This Feature has various settings for you to modify and are all explained in Extended Preview Settins page.

Hint

One thing you should keep in mind is that the Map Names are used from the map_metadata.txt PBS file for the Locations. You can use the LinkPoiToMap Setting to change the Name of your Maps. This will only apply for visual purpose in the Extended Preview and won't affect anything else outside the Region Map.


When Extended Preview is enabled and a Location Preview is shown on the Region Map, you'll be able to open the Extended Preview for this Location.


Like usual, the Button Preview will tell you which button to press.

When there are multiple Locations with the same Map Position, you can press Left or Right to change Pages. The Location Name is shown on the top left and the page number is shown on the bottom left.


On the screenshot above, it shows 2 as the total pages, since I have the Setting NoUnvisitedMapInfo set to true, the 3rd and 4th maps aren't shown yet. If that Setting is false, it'll show 4 as the total pages right away.
