Simple Map Modifier

[taco-man]

im not quite sure i understand you correctly, but but heres a slightly simplified version of the function i wrote for the site that takes the pathfind location and zonerect and gives you the x,y coordinates on the map
incase mean is lost in translation this function is
need: pathfind location, zonerect
returns: x,y location on map.

PHP Code:

function GetCoords($PathfindLocation, $ZoneRect){
            //Assume Map images size
            $MAP_1x = 436;
            $MAP_1y = 506;
            //the 2 below should always be zero
            $MAP_0x = 0;
            $MAP_0y = 0;
            //Set Icons Width and height
            $IconW = 12;
            $IconH = 12;
            //split the pathfind location into 2 variables (assumes there is no Z coordinate given in pathfind location
            //normally i have a check that splits it differently depending on if there is 1 comma or 2.
            list($LOC_x, $LOC_y) = explode(",",$PathfindLocation);
            //split the zonerect up so i can use each value
            list($LOC_0x, $LOC_0y, $LOC_1x, $LOC_1y) = explode(",",$ZoneRect);
            $LOC_0x = $LOC_0x * -1;
            //Calculate WDPP_X and WDPP_Y
            $wdpp_x = ((-$LOC_1x - $LOC_0x) / $MAP_1x);
            $wdpp_y = (($LOC_1y - $LOC_0y) / $MAP_1y);
            //calculate Location
            $MAP_x = (((-$LOC_0x + $LOC_x) / $wdpp_x) + $MAP_0x) - ($IconW / 2);
            $MAP_y = (((-$LOC_0y + $LOC_y) / $wdpp_y) + $MAP_0y) - ($IconH / 2);
            //round the Location so that there are no decimals
            $MAP_x = round($MAP_x, 0);
            $MAP_y = round($MAP_y, 0);
            $xml_loc = "$MAP_x,$MAP_y";
            //return location in format x,y
            return($xml_loc);
            //end calculations
} 


does this help at all?

Updated !

- some of bug fix.
- auto-calc LOC , Pathfindlocation.
(but there is small magin of error about 3~4 point in conversion. I guess that it's come with numerical computation error.)

[nomas]

It's source code.

[tonyis3l33t]

very cool man
a few more suggestions:

1)

Have the program check registry to find out eq2 install path.

It goes to that path, and checks the eq2.ini file to find out what the custom ui is.

it goes into that custom ui folder and scans all the icons_*.xml files.

the program can convert the
icons_adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw_0.xml
into
map_adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw_0.dds
and load the map up at the same time as the icons.

This way, regular users can see just a list of zones and decide which one they want to add icons to.

I do, however, like the advanced mode, too. I suggest you keep the browse functionality in there as well.

2)

also: A File->Save As... command can always be useful.

suggested menu:
File
Open Zone <--shows dumbed down version, only see a list of zones
Open Icon Page <--same as current "File->Open"
Open Map File <--same as current "Map->Open"
Save As...
Save

POI
Add Map POI
Delete Map POI
Post POI's to maps.eq2interface.com
AutoCalc Location

Help
If you decide to be generous enough to provide them help in the program

3)

A status bar at the bottom that always shows current /loc of the cursor when you hover over the map.

[nomas]

1) It's uses relative path. I will set work-path in INI file.

2) Delete POI is easy.
I'm not well-spoken, HELP menu is difficult.
(This words is help with online Korean-English dictionary. )

3) Using statusbar is good idea.
I worried about form size, don't think about it.

[nomas]

Updated !

It Applied suggestions except 'Open Zone'.

[Eloa]

Very cool. Nice work nomas. If I still had eq2 I would use it. I am sure everyone will love this when the advertise gets out.
