Prehaps down in the corner of the AW browser, along the status bar
somewhere - a little location stat.

For example, I build a tavern - with a zone around it. I name it "The Old
Tavern" - when a user walks inside, their location would read of course,
"The Old Tavern".

Would also be good to have a "Default Location Name" in world attribuates,
so that when a user is out in the middle of nowhere, it will print something
like "The Streets".


One of many ideas that would be pretty darn useful in my project, along with
many others.

End Note: Maybe even a zone feature to print it in the corner of the 3D
viewport when first entering that area?

I actually think that's pretty handy. I'd love to see that.
I bet you suggested that for your GTA world ;)

I second that. That'd give us an ability to give specific area (i.e. area
zoned) a description. It could also be useful to basically "zone" the lots
and perhaps removing necessity of distinguishing certain lots by surrounding
it with a street. (x_x at that... there are hardly a block in some towns
around AW universe that have MORE than one properties owned by DIFFERENT
folks. >_<).

For instance, you could use zoning utilizing this particular features as a
basic tool of urban planning to designates certain lots as residential,
commercial, and industrial zones, as well agricultural zones (cities in RL
aren't the only one to utilizes zoning... the county I lives in also uses
it... >_>)

That's not all. It can also allows you to designates specific rooms as well.
Living room. Breakfast room (who the hell have that room? ;)). Sunroom
(w00t! XD). and more... and more rooms that would be too much information if
you know what I mean. ;)

As long as it can be disabled on the zone itself.. since it is a feature not
everyone may want..

Don't forget about my zone transition idea ;) I really, really think that
would be important :O

Not exactly perfect, but look in AWTeen and see if that is what you want.
