__FORCETOC__
'''Overmap''' is the world map, what you see when you hit the {{k|m}} key, it is essentially endless and can be limited only by external means. [[Character]] can see five tiles on the overmap in any direction, [[items#binoculars|binoculars]] double that distance, but some structures still obstruct range of view. You can also increase the distance further by being on a higher Z-level than the layer of the map you're trying to reveal - the higher the Z-Level, the further the distance. The time of day, and the Cycle of the Moon, will also affect how much of the map will be revealed.


Each overmap tile (e.g. house, crossroad, forest) equates to a single '''tinymap''', or 24x24 player-size tiles. Tinymap is not really used in the code much, but it is available because it is more efficient than a '''map'''.

'''Map''' is 156x156 player-size tiles and used in normal gameplay; the game has a ''map m'', which is the area which is considered "in-play," inside which [[enemies|monsters]], fields, [[traps]], etc. will be processed. Other than their respective sizes, map and tinymap are completely identical.


'''Map''' is 156x156 player-size tiles and used in normal gameplay; the game has a ''map m'', which is the area which is considered "in-play," inside which [[monsters]], [[fields]], [[traps]], etc. will be processed. Other than their respective sizes, map and tinymap are completely identical<!--, and any function available to map is available to tinymap-->.
Both tinymap and map are formed of an array of '''submaps'''. A submap is 12x12 player-sized tiles, and also keeps track of any fields, items, traps, and computers in that area. Tinymap is made up of 2x2 submaps; map is made up of 13x13 submaps.

You should never interface with the submap directly, unless you are adding something new for it to track.  map has several functions for accessing and/or modifying the contents of submap.
 
The player is always in the center submap.  If they move off of it to the left, they are shifted to the right side of the center submap, and all the submaps get shifted to the right.  This creates the illusion of contiguous movement; think of it like a treadmill.
 
Manipulating terrain data is easy.  Just use the map::ter(int x, int y) function (it is duplicated for tinymap).  It returns a reference to the terrain at point (x, y).  This reference is modifiable; so you could say m.ter(10, 10) = t_floor to turn the terrain at point (10, 10) to floor.-->

Wilderness tiles need some distance from a town to spawn. So if certain locations, like the [[LMOE shelter]], or [[Science lab|labs]] don't show up, the world settings have too large cities and too little space between them.

Overmap is the world map, what you see when you hit the m key, it is essentially endless and can be limited only by external means. Character can see five tiles on the overmap in any direction, binoculars double that distance, but some structures still obstruct range of view. You can also increase the distance further by being on a higher Z-level than the layer of the map you're trying to reveal - the higher the Z-Level, the further the distance. The time of day, and the Cycle of the Moon, will also affect how much of the map will be revealed.

Each overmap tile (e.g. house, crossroad, forest) equates to a single tinymap, or 24x24 player-size tiles. Tinymap is not really used in the code much, but it is available because it is more efficient than a map.

Map is 156x156 player-size tiles and used in normal gameplay; the game has a map m, which is the area which is considered "in-play," inside which monsters, fields, traps, etc. will be processed. Other than their respective sizes, map and tinymap are completely identical.

Both tinymap and map are formed of an array of submaps. A submap is 12x12 player-sized tiles, and also keeps track of any fields, items, traps, and computers in that area. Tinymap is made up of 2x2 submaps; map is made up of 13x13 submaps.

Wilderness

Wilderness tiles need some distance from a town to spawn. So if certain locations, like the LMOE shelter, or labs don't show up, the world settings have too large cities and too little space between them.

The wilderness, also known as the countryside, is the stretches of land and rural areas outside of cities, compared to the city, it contains more natural resources such as wood, wild plants, and animals, which can be hunted for meat.

The countryside is much safer to stay in than the city, and should be sought after if playing certain scenarios, such as Missed and Infected scenarios.

Even there, it can have it's fair share of nasty surprises that are unique to the area, ranging from hostile animals, occasional stray zombies, to the extremely dangerous forest dwelling Jabberwock.

Towns

Villages (when small), the bigger towns, and the even bigger cities are the locations where many modern urban necessities are found, unfortunately they are the epicentre for the biggest zombie hordes in the game.

They can range from small hamlets with a typical minimum of only two little houses and few zombies, to bustling and dangerous cities with an extensive sewage system, subway systems, and tall skyscrapers, filled with thousands of zombies that make escaping the huge city a great challenge.

Cities are much more dangerous than the wilderness, and will get even more dangerous as the days go on due to zombie evolution, but the high quality loot found in cities is highly desirable for before a player retreats for the wilderness, making it much easier to survive for longer periods before a player will want to have another venture back to the cities.

As of 0.D (Danny), towns and cities will spawn with randomly generated names. See the map for the names, you can turn off if the names are visible or not.

The Necropolis is a rare city with an organised layout that is always the same when it spawns, as well as the usual zombies found, it is the only place where the rare irradiated wanderer spawns.

Radio towers are tall structures surrounded by chain link fences. Sometimes a small building exists on the base. The tower has several levels connected by stairs. The top floor sometimes contains loot such as military gear, survivor telescopes and other equipment suggesting either a military sniper ( military gear, rifles, binoculars) or a scouting survivor (survivor telescope, survivor notes). Wasp nests may grow on the upper levels. Using a radio near a tower may yield a radio signal. Scan to find it.

The height of the tower allows you to see scout the map of the nearby area. There may be electronic loot in the building at the base. In general it's low risk decent reward as long there's no wasp nest or other hostile entities.
