[added] [MAP] Sinking Sands Crocodile Cave

I should have read the second page of this forum before I started this, and I'd have seen that someone else already started this. Nonetheless, here's what I've got:

Code:

<ImageStyle Name="exp01_rgn_sinking_sands_0" displayname="The Croc Caves" menugroup="Desert of Ro" zonerect="762, -1129, 1594, -167" availablerect="1010, -1129, 1270, -940" heightmax="-200" availablepriority="-1">

<ImageFrame Name="imageFrame" Source="images/maps/map_exp01_croc_caves.dds" SourceRect="0,0,436,506"/>

</ImageStyle>

<ImageStyle Name="exp01_rgn_sinking_sands_1" zonerect="762, -1129, 1594, -167" availablerect="1010, -940, 1298, -780" heightmax="-200" availablepriority="-1">

</ImageStyle>

</ImageStyle>

<ImageStyle Name="exp01_rgn_sinking_sands_3" zonerect="762, -1129, 1594, -167" availablerect="1010, -650, 1262, -333" heightmax="-200" availablepriority="-1">

</ImageStyle>

<ImageStyle Name="exp01_rgn_sinking_sands_4" zonerect="762, -1129, 1594, -167" availablerect="1010, -333, 1075, -167" heightmax="-200" availablepriority="-1">

I was the one that had /logged the croc caves, but your map looks better than the one I made :)

Anyway, the problem wasn't the map, it was figuring out how to get the right zonerect to make the map only appear when in the caves. If you draw a rectangle around caves area (from the south entrance to the cave to the north entrance), it looks to me like there are parts of the beach area of SS that would be inside the rectangle, causing the map window to switch to the caves map.

None of which I've tried :)

Okay, here's the new, improved code with multiple availablerects so that you see the map where and only where you'd expect to:

Code:

<ImageFrame Name="imageFrame" Source="images/maps/map_exp01_croc_caves.dds" SourceRect="0,0,436,506"/>

</ImageStyle>

If anyone sees the map where they shouldn't, or doesn't see the map where they should, please post the /loc of the problem here and I'll see about fixing it.

Your map is beautiful, and your zone rects work perfectly. Good job! Now we just need it added to the updater :)

The Croc Caves map has been added to the updater.
