Which map looks more like the actual zone?

Brammator's map looks pretty nice, but Lyssia's map looks nice as well.

My initial vote would be for Brammator's, it has a better contrast between the hedge, the buildings, and the ground. Lyssia's is nice, but there's so much gray/dark green it all seems to bleed together.

[gm9]

I'd have said Lyssia for better use of zone textures and more of a "haunted" look. All that without ever having seen the zone though.

[brammator]

well, she missed one part with penetrable wall 1-) upper left portion of map.

[Llogwey]

There's a mistake with the "965.61, 7.90, -561.17" waypoint. The wall can be crossed only if you have killed Raven.

I didn't see anything behind except a shiny.

fixed doors and minor minimap bordering issue, added 'spooky' variant (but first looks better at minimap imo)

How do I get this map into EQ2Maps? Not sure what that DDS file is for. I need this thing so bad because walking through that maze in first person gets me sick! lol

There are three things you need to make a map usable in game; the .dds image, the .xml code, and the poi file. (Well you don't have to have the poi file, but it helps )

You can find tutorials in the EQ2Map forums, which is how I learned to do it, or you can wait a little bit and I'm sure one of the maps posted here will be added to the autoupdater soon.

Integration details can be found in section 6 of the mapping tutorial, found here:
http://maps.eq2interface.com/index.p...aptutorial&p=7

You do not need to create a POI file, since the website does that automatically.

If it's much more like it looks in the zone, then I revise my 'vote' to Lyssia's, I always like it when the maps look like the zone.
