A long time ago, maybe 4 years now, I wrote an active log parser for EQ1 that read the log file and displayed maps (on another monitor) based on the "You have entered X" zoning messages. Then it watched for /loc messages and moved a little icon on the map, indicating your position. Each map required a loc-to-pixel conversion to display the icon, so I'm no stranger to the equations posted. It's definately nice to see them all organized like that though Mr. Bobble. They'll definately speed things up for me.

However, I've been dealing with maps that aren't necessarily accurate, so it's been rough, even having working knowledge of the conversions.

Thanks for those pics Sunthas, I was afraid the scale for the Stormhold II map didn't match that of the first floor. I have a high level friend who I'll group with to grey out the zone so I can go in and make a few calculations to get it all finished up. I wanna get Stormhold wrapped up and proceed to the next dungeon. =D
