Sometimes I get tired of chasing down provinces for events and site-searching spells. "Bob has cast Arcane Probing. 1 new magic site was found in Anaphale. Goto commander." But of course, the commander isn't in Anaphale, so I have to scroll through the province list until I find it.

So, the logical thing to do was to annotate the map files so that Anaphale gets renamed with its province number. "1 new magic site was found in Anaphale 20." Then I can just hit "#" on the map, type in 20, and voila! it jumps to Anaphale. And of course I took one look at Glory of the Gods and decided I didn't want to annotate it by hand, so I did it with a quick Python script. And I share this script, and a couple of sample output files, with you.

Usage: mapfix.py <filename>

(Outputs new mapfile to screen, so I usually redirect it. "mapfix.py silentseas.map > silentseas_annotated.map" makes a file called silentseas_annotated.map. I didn't make the script do the writing because I didn't want to mess with the file permissions headache/security vuln.)

Hope it's useful to someone.
