Pekkas Map Pack v2.7 released

[Vanaondo]

As v2.6 was such a mess, screw up really, with origin maps showing, loads of resources missing, I decided to make a v2.7 and v2.7 is double size compared to older versions but its worth it as now Cobals maps are visible and included.

Updates v2.7[*]A test of Road Layer as it didnt work at v2.6 and I still dont know if road layers works as I havnt seen that layer since v1.3[*]Fixed a bug at maps[*]Added some silk spots.[*]Corrected severall bugs at Tier III-IV resources file[/list]


I included v2.6 updates here as they are soo fresh, well just 1 day old

Updates v2.6[*]Changed from Trees old maps to Cobals new at Istaria[*]Skipped West isle map, so if you have personal markers there, send your personal map marker file to me at email and I correct it and send it back if you dont manage it. A WARNING: I will do the same with Tandalar soon, so dont put personal markers there but if you have, send the UIMapmarker.def to me from Horizon\prefs\<shard_char> folder.[*]Added shortcuts up at some mountains with arrows, one location is Chikonis center, another at Harton Valley and at Slate Crest.[*]Loads of Monsters[*]Loads of resources, a mega load of iron at Chikonis new builded Smelter/anvil[*]Loads of Tier II and III resources around harton Valley[*]Lavatube, Flame Isle, that is now open at Unity - Nice spot indeed.[*]Theres probably more...[/list]

I have been seeing the maps and they load better then the old AE maps i will have to download this pack then dunno how much of a difference this one will be compaired to the 2.6b you let me test or have you now put the problems i noted into the 2.7 one?

[CypherXP]

Why is the exe 61Mb while the zip is 96.5Mb? Which one is the latest?

[Vanaondo]

Well why was the zip 16Mb at v2.5 and the exe 25Mb? Idont have a clue.

But I like Cobals new maps better then Trees old as they are smother and more deatailed but I have seen Trees new maps, withought water and those males me drowl. *smiles*

So get used to map pack gets bigger. *smiles*

[CypherXP]

What I was aiming for in the last post didn't quite come through I guess ;)

What I was meaning is that both the zip and the exe are meant to contain roughly the same content but the exe should be a few k bigger because it has an installer, unless you have found an installer that somehow compresses the mappack contents so much better that a zip file.

With a size variation of ~30Mb then they can't really contain the same stuff now can they?
If the exe contains one persons style of maps and the zip another style can you please label them as such, or make both contain the same? :)

Though on a size note think of the dialup people ;) , personally I'm on broadband but know what a pain itused to be to download stuff this size.

[Vanaondo]

Well it sure came true and the answer is the same really. I dont have a clue why the size differ so much. We can speculate maybe?

********. I bumped v2.6 thread by misstake, sooo I say same thing here to bump this thread....


1. The path from Chikonis portal up to upper east crafting cave is great.

2. The Mega load of Iron above Chikonis, Slightly NE of Chik city and there is 4 machines working at unity are a ******** ******** cool spot.

Hey Van [;)]

Nice pack again, mate. I feel like it loads even faster on my steam-powered laptop PC (though it's a hamster-improved one).

Should we find things to add or correct, have you set a thread where to post them ?

Since I dunno atm, here's a few I found yesterday while roving in Lesser Aradoth / Vandus March areas with my liddle hatchling :
- There are no more sandstone and bronze golems south of New Rachival, but desert wolves 40-45 (1 dp, heh) ;
- The essence channeler structure SE of Parsinia (around 19700/23020) is destroyed atm ;
- I bumped into a huge pack of brown wolves 20-25 on the stony Dalimond-Tazoon road, between the assessor of speed (?) and Spire's Shadow (didn't wrote down coords...coz ...erm...*cough* another dp *cough*)

Hope it helps (anyway at least it'll bump this priceless thread up [:D])

Thanks for all your hard work with these map packs Van...

All of Horizons should be useing your map pack and I betthem devs use it too...

LOL

[Vanaondo]

The link in the top of this thread points to the main thread but you can of coarse give me coordinates anywhere here. If you have many coordinates I would like to have them presented like:

<name of marker>
X-coordinate
Y-coordinate

Example:
Brown Wolf - Lvl 20-25
24398
23546

But I will add the wolfes and I will remobe the T1 golems fom Tazoon

Devine. The devs do use the map pack and we players have been given our own section at http://community.istaria.com/default.aspx?pg=downloadsbut Chris of Jeff have putted the wrong link but I hope they fix it soon.

[Vanaondo]

I see that the links are corrected now. *smiles*
