Grozmag's Trial

Made this so that the MAP can be consistent and have a map for every zone.

Not sure how well it turned out, though.

Map Creation Tutorial
Author: Anthony Phipps
LEVEL 1 (for basic contributors)

1. Delete or rename your log if you have one. This way we dont get your toon life's log
its found in c:\program files\sony\everquest\logs\*servername*\ directory
2. Make a hotkey that says "/loc"
3. Make a hotkey taht says "/em start new map line"
4. turn ON logging
5. while pressing the /loc key like crazy, run around the edge of the zone.
6. turn OFF logging
7. press ALT+TAB and go to this folder C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\cache\ioplan
8. write down the last modified filename. This tells us the internal zone name.

Need the internal zone name, Thanks

Also a picture or two of the zone would be nice so i could get the feel of the zone.

Last modified filename is...
orcishwastes+tutorial_island02_epic01.iop

Alrighty, here you are, 3 screenshots, first one is standing right in front of the entrance, other two are from the opposite corners.

This is the same map used for Grimgash's Lair on the Island of Refuge. The name of the latest file modified is tutorial_island02+tutorial_island02_epic01 for Grimgash Lair.

The name of the zone is after the + sign... so the internal name is the same for all those zones. Since the webpage and interface tracks by the internal zone name there is no way to have a seperate map for each zone. The same map with the same POI's will load for each one.

So this is a limitation of the UI interface then? There is no way to create a icon file for each zone because of the UI interface limitations is what you are saying? Does anyone at EQ2Maps have any contacts with SOE to politly ask for some UI modifications that would allow this to be possilble?

Just a few questions that I have.
