just a suggestion, you could cut the size of all the map images from 340kb to 190kb by using the "DXT1 ARGB (1 bit Alpha)" save format and turning off mip maps(since mip maps are a waste of space when its not used, which it isn't in the ui)
|
Thank you taco-man! I'll look into the format and mipmap change. I've wanted to shrink this down, so now I guess I can. =D
I'll have a new version with The Graveyard zonerect done and Eloa's new loc icons for The Thieves' Way added later tonight. Quib |
If you want to just toss some map images in, no zone rect or anything and I can throw icons in when I get bored.
|
Edited thieves way just now, if you copied it before this post, redo it, added a few things since I went traveling down there.
|
First floor with pathfindlocations. using the stormhold1 page from the file a few posts above this one.

i made a map image and icons page for the peat bog, how do i go about posting it for you quib? with icons and stuff and it works fully in game
|
If you attach the image and map xml file I can cut and paste it into mine.
I've updated Eloa's Thieves Way loc icons and added Sunthas' pathfindlocations to Stormhold. Finishing the zonerect for The Graveyard at the moment. =D Quib |

mapstyle:
Code:
<ImageStyle Name="qey_adv04_bog" zonerect="-844,353,-550,700">Code:
<Page Name="qey_adv04_bog" ScrollExtent="436,506" Size="436,506">it uses those settings i pointed out earlier the z axis for the pathfind loc might not be exact because i used the same # for them all but it should be close enough |
Added your map taco-man, and I finished finding the zonerect for The Graveyard.
This map xml should be as up-to-date as is possible by the info in this thread. Also re-saved all the map files. Quib |
i am currently working on a program to calculate the zone rect for us. should be quite usefull. I only know visual basic .net though so you will need the .net framework to use it.
:nana: :nana: :nana: :nana: :nana: :nana: I appologive for my "excessive" use of the nanas but this thread just has so many places where they are necessary :D |
I work with C# so I'm no stranger to .net. I look forward to seeing anything you can cook up. The zonerect is my bane.
Quib |
its almost finished i will definately have it done tonight. you will have to forgive me if its not perfect but i am completely self taught in vb .net

is it possible for an admin to add a tools(or something similar) section to the download area so i can submit the program i made for calculating the zone rect and people dont have to worry about getting viruses from it since you check all the files? who knows if we need some other tool i might write that as well
EDIT: ITs finished by the way here is a picture EDIT #2: i remember reading that you have to make the final x values negative for it to work properly. I had to do this when i made the peat bog map and I did this in my program but i wanted to double check that it is always like that. or is it only like that when you use point a as near the top-right and point b as near the bottom-left |
cool, you guys got some good stuff done over the weekend, i was out for most of friday. all of sat, and sun morning...i skimmed throught the posts and saw more maps done up. About to check out the v10 beta release thingy
thanks for the props Quib in that readme:) I see ya'll got some pathfindlocations done up to the icons, too. Too bad ya beat me to it:P at least i thought of it first! hehe As of yet i see maps for Sunken City Graveyard Sprawl Ruins Thieves Way Oakmyst The Peat Bog Stormhold 1 and 2 and icons for Sunken City Sprawl Ruins (zones only) Thieves Way Oakmyst Peat Bog Stormhold 1 and 2 MISSING ICONS (for completed maps) Stormhold 3 Ruins Graveyard taco-man, you can email to me at [email protected] and ill host in on an angelfire site and link for now...plus i want it :) Read my mini add your own map guide a few posts back. Says W and E need negated. hrm...after installing v10 of the map window mod, my youarehere arrow no longer shows up in antonica...mebbe something on my side. |
I've heard a couple people in game using this cant see the anton arrow.
Also When you add the icon tooltips: If you double click the word tooltip down there, itll pop up the editor window, there you can hit enter and have multiple lines so we dont have things like mob/mob/mob/quest/do this quest over here then run over there/mob/mob :nana: :nana: |
"hrm...after installing v10 of the map window mod, my youarehere arrow no longer shows up in antonica...mebbe something on my side."
My best guess is you don't have icon_map3.dds in the right place, or at least not the newest version of that file. I use a modified youarehere arrow graphic in that file. Edit - I'll go check this out firsthand and see what's up. Here's the wailing caves, my first two-part map using the information Mr. Bobble provided about AvailableRect's. It needs a lot of testing to make sure it swaps between maps properly because they overlap a LOT and I had to really fudge the AvailableRects. Quib |
Quib, can I get a map for serpent sewers
|
/wheeze, /huff, /puff. I just made it to Antonica before the servers went down and I can see my youarehere arrow. So I'm gonna come to the conclusion that you can't see the arrow anywhere and it's because your icon_map3.dds is in the wrong place or you have an old version. If the issue keeps coming up, I'll look into it further.
Yeah Eloa. I'll spit out a quick serpent sewer map then head to sleep. No guarantees that the zonerect will be accurate. Quib |
rect dont matter I just want a reference to place icons
|
Add this line to the VERY bottom of the map.xml just before the </page>

Added Serpent Sewer and the QST object.
Quib ---EDIT--- Download Removed (23) |
C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\myui\images\icons\icon_map3.dds
this is where its at...worked before v10 for me...also arrow does not show up in any other pushed map (ie we didnt add) :)) |
heh, you goofed. In the last attachment, rename the serpent sewers map to
map_fprt_serpentsewer.dds Also I'm making a couple of additions to the maps.xml to make it more informative, cuz this is going to have a lot of information in it. I'll post it asap as to not interfere with anyone elses edit. |
