Re: Re: Re: Map

Hello,

Thanks for that excellent plugin! Playing with it I was just wondering if displaying the quests indicators was something you planned or if it was just not possible with the api?

Cheers,
Dunn

Thanks for the comment. Using the map assets outside the client would require prior written permission from the copyright holder, Turbine. Unfortunately, when Turbine ceased supporting their online Google map, I approached them about hosting one myself (the assets used in the game are 200x200 pixels which makes them perfect for the Google map API) as a fan supported site and they declined.

Static pictures may be a slightly different issue, perhaps because they are derived works, and seem to be acceptable - at least nobody has complained about the existing ones as far as I know. Several static versions of the map have been produced from the plugin by others, a couple of them linked in prior posts in this thread. You can pretty easily create your own static map by splicing together screenshots of the plugin, it just takes a little time and patience.

At this time, especially since I no longer even really play the game, I do not have the resources to devote to any new LOTRO projects and only allocate enough time to maintain my existing plugins for new content.

Sorry for the late answer !
I use Hi-res files and played in Full Screen only (I have since switched to Full Screen Windowed but I haven't tried to set the zoom levels to x8 or higher in Mordor yet), in 1920x1080 resolution.

Thanks for reporting this. Actually, Cape of Belfalas is on the Gondor map and displays correctly at zoom levels 1-2 with (or without) annotations. Unfortunately I did miss updating the pre-zoomed tiles for this area and the overview so while it exists, it shows as the old green "artist markup" version in zooms 4-32. This will be fixed in the next release but is a fairly low priority at this time since it does work in zoom 1-2 and can be selected from the higher zooms, it just looks odd in the higher zooms. I am still looking into the report of a game crash using zooms 8-32 in Mordor but that is looking like a memory issue in the Turbine client rather than a bug in TerrainMap. The most likely timeframe for an update would be early next month (i.e. after the new year).

Thanks. I should have also asked what resolution you play at and which screen mode (Full Screen, Windowed or Windowed Full Screen) you use and whether you use the Hi-res textures.

Hi, this may be a memory issue with the client. What OS are you running and how much RAM does your machine have?

Region 4, Mordor, is now available along with default annotations for Update 19.

While in-game coordinates are contiguous with Region 3 (region 4 uses the same NS/EW coordinates with different boundaries), I chose not to simply expand the map as one large map since there are a couple of small but noticeable terrain differences in the two versions, particularly near the river bank that would have made the seam very obvious. Additionally, the annotations are different depending on which region you are looking at and there was no good way to reconcile that. So, I chose to display region 4 as a distinct map even though an enterprising individual could line up the tiles with region 3 to make a contiguous map (I would recommend making the seam along the middle of the river so that the discrepancies are less obvious.

Thanks for the comment.

As to Mordor (region 4), both MoorMap and TerrainMap will be updated for U19 sometime soon. I have already pieced together all of the explorable map tiles for Mordor (as well as a bunch of the "artist markup" tiles showing the part of the world Turbine's world builders have started work on). Over 5500 new tiles in all but a bunch are Eastern Gondor "after the battle" tiles. I won't be publishing it until I get a chance to actually explore the region and verify coordinates and capture default data points. Unfortunately, I hadn't been playing for quite a while so my main character won't be exploring North Ithilien for a couple of weeks yet, so hopefully by the end of the month.
