Hello coders!
I have been working on my own WvW map, much like the others that have been posted here, but I’ve been doing a few other things that I have yet to see and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t breaking any rules with the Anet dev team.
Basically, instead of being a mobile version of a WvW map, mine is a local application. It shows Guild Member positions in real time along with control point timers.
Here’s a video of it in action with a friend.

Up to this point, I know everything is legal because I’m doing the same as everyone else, just reading the mumble mapping file.
But here I have added the ability to detect the range on certain things, such as portal. Now the only thing this does that might be bad is detect keys. Basically just a key bind on my application is fired when a key is pressed while any application is active.
Here’s an example of this in action. The range indicator for portal is laid when I press my portal keybind. The indicator shows up in the map and remains until I lay the exit portal. I run to the edge of the indicator, which is max range.

What is the dev team’s opinion on this? I don’t want to go any further if it will break the rules.
