What are all of these abbreviations?
In tight spots on pages, you might see references like "(poad.34)" or "(sr3.149)". These are refrences to Shadowrun books using the Shadowrun Reference Standard.How do I get around?
You may move through the sixth world using three methods: 1) the menu on the side of each page, 2) links within the pages, and 3) links embedded into the Flash graphics.
Of these, the last is the most unusual. Some of the maps on this site are Shockwave Flash files, a graphic format developed by Macromedia. This is a vector format, which means it will look good at many different resolutions. The Sixth World uses Shockwave Flash for a number of reasons, but the main reason is because you can zoom in and out with Flash files without much loss in quality.
To unlock the power of Flash, the trick is to use its popup menu. On Macintosh systems, this is done by control-clicking on the graphic. Windows users can right-click. This will pop up a menu which will let you zoom in and out in the graphic.
Also, when in Flash graphics, pay attention to a cursor. If it looks like a hand pointing a finger, the object the cursor is over contains a link, and you can click on it to go to the page which gives detail on that object. If the cursor looks like an open hand, you can click on the map to move the map within its frame. This is useful if the map is zoomed, providing features much like scrolling.
