Nope, not yet. Been really busy with work stuff. I'm trying to rewrite the viewer as a test. I'll PM you when it's ready with a URL. If that works, I'll roll the changes into the main app.
Edit: Okay, just got in there and did some work.
I've got a link to the first example and second example posted above.
In addition to displaying the map itself, it will also display some information after it. Basically the URL broken out into the various parts. The first link should display:
The second link should display:
Let me know what that does for you.

When it opens the window, you can copy the URL out of the location and paste it right into your forum, yes. As long as the forum doesn't mind a really long URL.

I dunno if this has been suggested before (didn't feel like reading through 6 pages of stuff). The tool is absolutely wonderful, but are you planning on adding in city decorations (statues, streetlights, fountains, braziers) to it? I know they don't appear on the overhead map in-game, but it might be nice to be able to add them to your tool, just as a convenience (and added functionality).
Thanks for your consideration and efforts! I love the tool!

excellent tool... much better then the excel i used the first time... with photoshop i was able to steal your grid and overlay them perfectly... plus it allowed for the minor edits your app doesn't handle yet... for future updates HQs take a 9x9 square footprint before planting... once set the footprint expands to a circular footprint with a 16 square diameter... thanks again for the great tool...

Yep, garages are in. I was a bit slow getting them. And I had to completely reorganize the toolbar. I'm sure this will take people some getting used to. I know there have been a number of times I was staring at it thinking "Now where is the small generic again?"
Also added art for merchant tents. Since what I had in there before wasn't directional, all merchant tents people had in their layouts will be pointing north.

Options Does Not Work For Me... I Get a Little Pop-up Box Saying 'Select' it to make it work?

Click on the checkbox, not the word "options". The popup is just something I put in to explain how to use things. I suppose I can take it out now that I've got proper documentation.

Small nitpick:
Your Equipment Factory and your Food Factory names are switched. The Equipment Factory should be the small hexagon, and the Food Factory should be the small square with the little square sticking outta the top.
Also, how about a small graphic to represent fountains and statues and the like? Just a one-square thing should do, right? Perhaps just call it "decoration"?
Thanks for the wonderful tool!
