< EQ2 Loc

Use this template to include a location in an article. This is preferred so that all coords on this system maintain a standardized appearance.

Location Coordinates in EverQuest II are mapped using an inverted Cartesian Coordinates system. When you use the /loc command in-game, the results appear in the form (x,y,z), but unlike the normal Cartesian system, x and z grow smaller as you move East or North, and larger as you move West or South.

Parameters Usage Examples

Parameters

1. x coordinate: This is the East-West location, but values grow larger as you go West.
2. y coordinate: This is the Elevation, in the normal orientation. Lower is smaller, higher is larger.
3. z coordinate: This is the North-South location, but values grow larger as you go South.

• uid - (Optional) If set, a link to EQ2MAP will appear to the right of the Location.

If the x coord is an Asterisk (*), ( see below ) will be displayed. This is useful when a mob has multiple locations. Be sure to include a section on the page with the locations!

If the x coord is an X (upper or lower case) this template will return with no output and no links created! This is useful when a mob has no fixed spawn point and roams all over, or has so many spawn points that any specific location is pointless.

Usage

{{Loc|x|y|z|uid=}}

Examples

{{Loc|-490|-40|-89|uid=597}}

Output: ( -490,-40,-89 ) Copy

{{Loc|*}}

Output: ( *,, )

{{Loc|x}}

Output: ( x,, )

{{Loc|-490|-40|}}

Output: ( -490,-40, ) - Created link to Category:Locations with missing z coord

{{Loc|-490||-89}}

Output: ( -490,,-89 ) - Created link to Category:Locations with missing y coord

• NOTE: If you are in-game and need to find something that only shows the x-z and not the y, substitute 0 for y and use /waypoint x,0,z then look at your map... X marks the spot and the wisp trail will point the way although it may be a little off!

{{Loc||-40|-89}}

Output: ( ,-40,-89 ) - Created link to Category:Locations with missing x coord

{{Loc|X|uid=1005}}

Output: ( X,, ) - x,z,y supressed, link to eq2map project made
