I've forked Narost with the intent of adding some quality-of-life updates to it. Like this one:

See ;repo info xnarost or get it at ;repo download xnarost

I'm crowdsourcing the map 'metadata' used to generate the menus. If you would like to contribute, help fill in the blue columns on this spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oGk-4XZL0196aMGPUQFtDpvo_LPxJI3sx40tRKw7uoY/edit

A few "rules" if you want to help:


The "Full Name" should generally match or be very close to what's written on the actual map image -- but in general, should follow the "Region - Area" format. Also, use bibliographic names (e.g. "Elemental Confluence, The" instead of "The Elemental Confluence")
Full names only show in the "All Maps" and "Uncategorized Maps" submenus.
The Submenu columns generate a list of submenus that the map will appear in. When it appears in those menus, it uses its Short Name.
It's important to make sure that no two maps that might be in the same submenu have the same shortname. Since there's a "Guilds" submenu, it's not sufficient for a shortname to be "Cleric Guild" because multiple cleric guilds exist.
However, all the Adventurer's Guilds are on the same map, so the disambiguation is not needed.




Additional possibly planned features:

Possibly applying the same or a similar treatment to 'tags'
Making it possible to add custom options to a right-click menu when right-clicking on a room. e.g. Right-Click => ;wander add <room#>
Possibly an option to overlay all 'mapped areas' onto a map to spot Narost data errors/room omissions, or some other voodoo.

Released 0.3 with mostly-completed map metadata and ctrl-mousewheel to zoom.

Oh, love the new folder setup for the maps. I can see ALL of the list of Wehnimer's Landing maps now! BLESS YOU!

Heck, it even SCROLLS, which is more than the regular Narost does on a long list. Very nice!

Newsby will pick this up to spotlight.
