Changes to /towny map + and /t toggle

twomoo1119

These are mostly simple changes usefull for town mayors but here they are:

•For sale plots:
For sale plots are highlighted red in towny map (like forsale shop plots are blue) to make them stand out.

•/towny map huge
This would be a 4 by 4 display of /towny map big in a much smaller font usefull for extremely large towns that go beyond /towny map big

•/t toggle forsale
This would put all NEW unowned plots after a tax collection for sale.

I'm not sure how you can't pick out the difference between $ and + for 1.

Since there are multiple ideas suggested here, I will voice my opinion on each individually.

For Sale Plots

This is a fine idea, as it distinguishes between shop and resident plots. Perhaps another color for Embassy plots would be nice, as well?

Towny Map Huge
•/towny map huge

~ @twomoo1119

Again, a very good idea. This would allow people to also search for any towns remotely close to a possible location for their own town, in addition to a benefit for mayors with very large towns (as far as land).

/t toggle forsale
•/t toggle forsale
This would put all NEW unowned plots after a tax collection for sale.

I have to disagree with this one, as it would require extreme coding from our techs. How would it be able to differentiate between new and old unowned plots?
Many thanks to @twomoo1119 for constantly suggesting ideas to improve the central feature on Meep; Towny.

It isn't so hard but in a very large town you have to scan to find them and that can take 15-30 seconds, if they were red it would be easier.

/t toggle forsale

Opinion accepted but just so you know if you've ever been on during a tax collection it might say something like:

"twomoo1119 could not afford to keep his plot"

Meep already recognizes that the player has lost the plot and changes it to an unowned plot, how much work could it be to change it to for sale?

It's automatically put up for sale when that happens, I believe.
If it's not I'm confusing them dumping the plot and them losing it to taxes.

But +1 to all, good ideas for custom towny.

It happens when players go from the town, whether they leave, are kicked or can't afford res taxes but, if they can't afford plottaxes (shop taxes etc.) then it is left unowned.

To my past understanding techs avoid messing with the current towny plugin which is why there are future plans for a new one.
