Title: Map of Hydlaa
Post by: Kraxton on April 11, 2004, 11:46:57 am
I\'ve made this map of Hydlaa for everyone to use. Once there are more updates to the city, I\'ll update the map image and post it here.

Here\'s the link-- http:// http://www.kraxton.com/images/Hydlaa_aerial_map.jpg

Nice, how did you make it, if I may ask?

I used the camera POV and mouse controls to zoom out to an EXTREME distance, then took a screenshot. I edited the screenshot using MS Paint and Adobe Photoshop.

It\'s one of the better maps out there and there is only 1 slight error to it: the PC spawn is on the other side of the statue. But that\'s okay, I\'ve seen maps where the tavern was indicated wrongly lol. Pretty good map :thumbsup:.  :]

That\'s an impressive map, Snow Wolf, with the links and all. Good job. I wasn\'t aware that so many other people had already made maps and that I was re-inventing the wheel (so to speak). Somebody needs to put a maps section on the main Planeshift website, so that people don\'t keep repeating each other\'s efforts.

Why do people take a screenshot, stick some numbers on it, and call it a map?  It\'s not even orthographically correct like that.  I\'ve never seen anyone do a real map of Hydlaa above ground.  The dungeon however... well... you can\'t have that map I\'ve been told.

The Laanx temple is a scarab with a scorpion tail methinks.

Well, Wedge, if you don\'t like what we\'ve done, then do a \"real map\" yourself. Take the initiative, and let\'s see what you\'ve got.

One of our members had made a fully map, programmed in Flash and everything... not sure what happened to it.
