Pekkas Map Pack

[Vanaondo]

A quick d/l of your map pack was the only thing that succeeded in getting me back on track.

Sounds cool hasai. Im aware that the new landscape might scare new commers away too as it is hard to find anything without maps. I had a friend from UO that tested UO without telling us at our guild and his comment was:

What a wasteof land. Wherever I go there is waste land.

This isnt true of course as we that have the mappack knows exactly where to go to get right things and find right onsters to kill.

just wanted to know
Is there any way for you to make the players icon the toppest layer?

There ios and I will look into this wen I get my comp back from repair.

[Rocinante]

Hey thanks for the maps, I found them very useful. My feedback would be could you decrease the number of resource icons used per field. With even a majority of the filters on, the map can still be cluttered and hard to read.

Thanks,

I logged in today patched and the game was fine but removed map pack as usual i am using 2.5 .
I quit game reinstall map pack and bang i cant logg in just stuck there or i reset and try again and im in the world but nothing seems to see me or want to attack me i am not dead .
The only thing i have put back was map pack 2.5 so either this is conflicting with the new maps that have been put in patch ?

Any help on this Van i will uninstall the map pack and try if not probs this time

Cheers

Kasira

Well you shouldnt read the map. use the search button instead.

[Ruath]

Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH!! These maps make life on Istaria so much easier. You're time and effort is much appreciated : )

I do have one question though is ther a way to keep the maps when a patch is done? I keep going back to the original maps every patch?

Tahnk you muchly, again : )

[Vanaondo]

Hmm. I thought I fixed that allready but I shall look into it when I work with v2.6

[Vanaondo]

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.

what do u mean skipped west isle please?

[Trekannor]

[N][N][N]wish u woulda stayed with old map image, this new one sucks down my FPS REAL! bad..............

[Vanaondo]

Hmmm....



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

DL the map pack from here and HCC too if you dont have it allready

[Vanaondo]

Message: what do u mean skipped west isle please?
West isle is a part of the main Istaria map now. Earlier we didnt had that Isle at trees maps at all but as I use Cobals maps now, the isle is visible at main map wich means the extra Abandoned isle map is completely unnescesary and have no function at all.

I agree, but I made a screw up so you got AE origin maps instead so DL and install v2.7 and all will be fine.

[chiptus]

No. You have to do that your self.
Open Horizons\resources\Interface\maps\Istaria\map_ista ria_terrain.def at notepad and change all t.png to .png with [ctrl-h]

I will explain:
one file is named map_0_10_1_1t.png inside the file?
That is Cobals mapsection. The original file map_0_10_1_1.png (without t after the numbers) is still at the terain folder so you rename all files at map_istaria_terrain.def very easy.

1. Open map_istaria_terrain.def with Notepad (Anteckningar på svenska)
2. Hit [Ctrl-H]
3. Writet.png at row 1
4. Write.png at row 1
5. Push the buttom, [Replace All]
6. Save
7. Run Horizons

[chiptus]

Thanks alot! :)

[Soulsmaster]

Is there a hcc package without the installer?

[cauri_order]

any way of just getting the map markers?

[Mordoth]

The maps are great, and the tremendous amount of work that went into making them is greatly appreciated (helped keep me in game after the merge actually).

But I too wonder if there is a way to just get the markers.
