SaintPeter's Mapping Guide - Feedback and Comment Thread
 

I am pleased to announce the posting of my new, comprehensive mapping guide to the EQ2MAP site. The guide can be found under the new 'Tutorial' menu item.

The new guide covers all aspects of map making, including /loc collection, line cleanup, image creation and map XML. Each section includes detailed explanations, figures, screen shots and animations.Whenever possible, the guide covers the 'why', not just the 'what' or 'how'.

If you have ever wanted to make a map but thought it would be too difficult or confusing, now is the time to learn just how easy it can be.

I welcome any feedback, comments, or suggestions for this new mapping guide. I will monitor this thread for questions and make changes to the guide, as needed.

For a limited time I will also be offering one on one support to new mappers. No question too small! Pick my brain, let me make you into a better mapper.

update with Mapperlive 6
 

Hi,
I'd like to thank you for your great tutorial and your Mapper, they're both great .
I'm working on a new map and learning from scratch so I followed that tuto and did almost all of it with Mapper2.
Having a small problem at the end, I went back to the forum and found that thread with the über MapperLive 6 tool.
Could you mention Mapperlive 6 in your tutorial ? :p

... and tell me why my map appears good but have a strange behaviour : it shows me going left when I go east IG (even with the red arrow icon pointing to the right). The map is not east-west reversed but movements in it are . :confused:
Couldn't find anything related to that behaviour in the forum though.

Check your zonerect.

Again ?!
ok, You were right :D , went back to capture to other points and redid the math and voila.
Texture time now .
Thanks for the answer :p
