Pity
Yah i've seen the maps tutorial
though doable it's still a bit#$% for the average Joe Smoe user.
only reason I suggested a pop in ui for eq2 maps as a cartography tool was to emulate and show the lines as walked, erase fu@#$% lines etc.
make a txt map (beta/alpha proof rough map) and submit it to server.
people could revise it or clean it up. for show the rough map similar to Ye olde eq (least while working on it in the raw)
then make a quality final map. (by the maps dev team from the raw data files gathered. on the server) by people whom know better.
however I suppose it would have to have a java or other scripting lua/python back end making it a Bitch to code. or to tie into current modules available for it.
most of the maps I've tried to make lately from the prestige housing don't work so great. or i miss spots lines etc...
most maps on eq1 can be snapped from the zone files..... pity one cant do just that pop out the zones to maps.
worth asking anyhow
