Topic: Is it possible to switch the projection type ?

Hey there !

i want to use Online Maps for a mmorpg.

But i need a chunk system to recognice when a player entered a new chunk for loading the entitys. And that heavily depends on the map projection ( Mercator stretches the chunks which is bad ).
Does online maps use a mercator projection ? Is it possible to change this type of projection ?

Re: Is it possible to switch the projection type ?

Hello.

Yes, Online Maps uses Mercator projection.

Theoretically, it is possible to change the projection type to another, which also uses latitude and longitude. To do this, create a new class that inherits OnlineMapsProjection class, and specify the projection in the map type.

But this does not mean that you can implement any projection.
The possibility of implementing each projection needs to be tested.
