Moon Hotspot

The order of the numbers for latitude and longitude is reversed when entering into the URL of your browser. keep an eye out for that.

Just picked up the moon base. Are you guys still having to input the coordinates like this, or has it changed to integers??

[senatorhung]

here ya go then - thanks to jraener !!

i agree with golan - those were excellent starting points - only took me 10 minutes, and that's cuz i didn't refresh the page to see golan's post, so independent confirmation

56,-23 is currently 86%

53, -23 is currently 84%
[/quote]

75, -15 is currently 94%
73, -45 is currently 88%

with those co-ords, my calcs indicate that the hotspot should be in either of 3 spots:

71, 8
70, 8
70, 7

oh, and from [url=http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=64843&view=findpost&p=1930324]rich333's figuring[/url], 70 and 71 are latitudes which will cause floating point errors. so, don't use exactly 70.00000 or 71.00000, use one of the following:

70
{
+69.99999991
+69.99999992
+69.99999994
+69.99999995
+69.99999997
+69.99999998
+69.99999999
+70.00000001
+70.00000002
+70.00000004
+70.00000005
+70.00000007
+70.00000008
}

71
{
+70.99999991
+70.99999992
+70.99999993
+70.99999995
+70.99999996
+70.99999997
+70.99999998
+70.99999999
+71.00000001
+71.00000004
+71.00000005
+71.00000008
+71.00000009
}

Thanks for this!

Here you go (you can see the other 99% ones in it):

EDIT: unfortunately it doesn't show enough digits, maybe someone else should do it with like 69.999999999 and take a screenshot?

Thanks as always

[Fighter26]

Thanks!

[Grumpdogg]

Thanks for the coords. I have one request - can everyone please say "it's X lat and Y lon" or whatever the case may be so I stop putting the numbers in the wrong way in the address bar

any co-ords posted in this topic should be LAT then LONG - cuz that's what normal people do.

however, entering in the address bar is always LONG then LAT - cuz the devs are tricksters at heart.

[Grumpdogg]

Ok thanks heaps. I'll try and remember that

[PrinceArutha]

so, i am kinda feeling noobish, but, how do I enter in the latitude and longitude to get it at the right spot?
