Map Editor

What is the Map Editor?

The map editor is where you draw custom areas on the ER:LC map. The same editor is used for every location feature in Melonly.

Editor	Opened from	Used for
Area of Play Editor	Sessions settings	Where roleplay is allowed during a session
Jurisdiction Editor	Team Jurisdictions	Where each team is allowed to operate
Safe Zone Editor	Safe Zone Enforcement	Areas where killing another player is punished
Agency and Subdivision Jurisdiction	CAD agencies	The area a CAD agency or subdivision covers

The list on the right shows your areas. Presets, like City or Police, can be viewed but not edited.

Create a custom area

Click Create Custom. A new area is added with one shape on the map.

Shape it

Drag the shape to move it, and drag its corner points to resize or reshape it.

Add more shapes if needed

Use Add Rectangle or Add Polygon to add another shape to the same area. An area can be made of several shapes.

Save

Close the editor, then save the settings page it was opened from.

Click a shape to select it, then:
