ACK, but .. do we need it, really?

Erm. Which does mIRC use to generate the graphical view? /links or /map? Wouldn't want to break client functionality here.

mIRC uses /links to generate a graphical view, not /map.

Do we need it? No.
Will it break anything? Probably someone's script.
Does it look cool? Yes.

Overall, I think this would be a good feature to add.

Could some of the old timers verify if we actually used to have this? :P I seem to recognize it from early Unreal's ..

stskeeps, i dont rememebr seeing this before, though if you'd like I can load some old copies (like 3.1.1 and a few others) and check to see. Also, Phoenix: do we need it? Yes, will it break anything? no? wtf would it? does it look cool...as cool as multiplayer notepad can look

Good solution, such map view is more nice than standard. I support it :)

This should probably be closed, see 0002983
While I don't have a strong position on this, it sounds odd to remove something for probably good reasons and then readd it X years later with no changed reasoning.

quoting codemastr:
-
all you added was the percentage of users. We originally had this, and removed it for two reasons. One, I don't see why it's "useful" (feel free to try to convince me otherwise) and two, people complained about the fact that rounding errors resulted in totals like 99.9% or 100.1%, which there is nothing we can do about.
-
sts what do you say?

I agree with codemastr's statement, closing this bug. A 3rd party module can do this as well (/map replacement) if a network really wants it.
