The PLA game must be running on the Nintendo Switch prior to The PLA-Live-Map script being executed before anything will display!!

Use the default URL localhost:8080 and run it on your main computer browser.

  • Alternatively, in the main.pyfile, located the line app.run(host="localhost", port=8080, debug=True) and change the value of host to be your computer's IP address (your Nintendo Switch should also be on the same network). This will allow mobile devices to run PLA-Live-Map using [computer_ip_address]:8080 instead

Initializing Map

The UI will prompt the user to select one of the five regions to load the map:

Choose any of the regions to be redirected to http://localhost:8080/map/[target_destination]. For now, we will reference the Obsidian Fieldlands as a visual guide:
