Map?
« on: December 31, 2004, 09:45:12 pm »
Is there no all-covering map for the PlaneShift world? This would be a GREAT idea to add. Since the developers shouldn\'t have it too difficult getting a view from above! The sewers and the other dungeons are quiet confusing... I mean, buying the map, visiting special map points... Anything! Just add some way to get a map!

After a while, you learn the sewers.  It just takes patience.  Play for a while, and you\'ll begin figuring things out.  I used to not be able to find the tavern, now it\'s second nature!  A map would be nice, but I don\'t want a map of the whole world, then it kind of defeats the purpose of exploring.

Well, but a in-game map of Hydlaa Town would be nice! When you are new to the game, you might eat your hat to find, as you said, the tavern, the smith and the trainers/shopkeepers...

By the way I like Mozilla Firefox too. =)

it would be nice to have a scrolling map that apear\'s as you explore the realm but as this is just beta i doubt if it will happen you will have to rely on any ambitious player that decide\'s to make a map

Hey, Squig, nice screenshots.  It would help if someone could label the buildings or something.

:P

And, uh, maybe a map of areas you\'ve explored?

Don\'t you mean \"Fireofsoul\" should do more of those? Exaero_Fiero didn\'t create that map, and you obviously still havn\'t read the FAQ or you\'d know this. :)

From the in game screenshots, I see the player is flying high above the town. So how does one gain the ability to fly so high?

I did create this map, only I soon found out that Fireofsoul did the same before me, so I have no proof that I did not just copy and remake Fireofsoul\'s work...

confused: I did not see this sequence in any FAQ\'s, but change camera distance by Shift+ (mouse back and forward).

If you guys want to make maps, feel free to get a pencil and some paper. I wont let people simply post screenshot maps with slap-on text here. That\'s too easy, too... not-creative, and it doesn\'t really make you a good cartographer.

just let them post their screens, they will show up in another thread or site anyhow. Besides that, a screenshot is way less detailed then a great drawn map.

If you don\'t like it...ok, but just let them post them (or at least leave a link). The drawnings should only get some more attention..


V?in?m?inen: great map! really nice work :tup:
