Super-long range radio?

[Doug R.]

There are reports that transmissions being sent from Blerk Hills on Cantr island with an enhanced transmitter are being received in north treefeather? I've verified the locations of both sender and recipient. Is this possible?

[Snickie]

With a ton of enhanced range repeaters, I would think so. I know a lot of Cantr Island is linked via radios. Teragotha obviously is. A good portion of Treefeather is. Teragotha might be the middle man, so to speak, between the islands.

At least Olip west can reach Knatr North with extended range/ship radio transmitter, so if there's an extended range repeater in Knatr North, that could connect to a network on Treefeather. The distance is 136 pixels, that's well within range.

Teregotha doesn't use frequency 100, and there I don't know of any repeaters on the island.

Thanks Seko

If the longest range repeater is 150 then it can't be possible. According to the maria schultz atlas the closest two locations are 229 sextant degrees away. And teregotha is over 200 away from treefeather.

I call bug.

If that is correct and the atlas I just referenced is wrong, then fair enough.

[Doug R.]

Verified. 136.41847 pixels distant.

Ok not a bug then I guess. Do sextant's measure pixels then? Out of interest.

[Doug R.]

Well, hold on a second. Sextants measure the game grid. I used the town coordinates in the DB to get that number, so same as the sextant.

Are the game grid coordinates the same as pixel count?

[madfish]

Did you use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 to get that distance?

[SekoETC]

I assume game coordinates would be the same as pixels, or at least the same thing as radio pixels. There's no telling if radio pixels match with map pixels since the map is multiplied in size from the original image.

Yes.
