Maps, gaps, and overlaps

Post by **Tomcat** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 10:25 pm

I just started compiling an overall map, based directly on the game maps rather than the developer reference map, which I don't want to see yet.

After stitching together six outdoor maps around Crossglen by linking the road connections, I already see several gaps between maps, and one small overlap of diagonally adjacent maps.

Is there any attempt to align one map to its neighbors in a "realistic" configuration? Could this be fixed in a future release?

We already have a version of what you are doing with all current outside maps up to the 0.6.8 release if you would like to take a look at it.

That is something we have planned for a later version, it might happen sooner due to the display issues on tablet type devices we are seeing now. I think that is caused by the maps not all being the same size.

Here ya go:

Open up the map in Tiled, zoom out 3 times. The map starts at 96,149.

Ok, not sure if this is the right place for this or not, but here it goes.

What I want is a website or file that i can download to my computer that shows me the map and what IS open. I tend to get lost, and it is hard to find what is finished if you are not really sure what is going on.

Is there a PDF or something that we can get to have as a reference? thanks!

Don't have an android app that opens tmx files - know one?

a tmx is a tiled file, you will need the program Tiled to open it, it is freeware and you can download it from most shareware repositories.

Please note you need the tiles and a matching directory structure to open it.

Tiled and all info about it is available here: http://www.mapeditor.org/

Here is some information on how to view Andor's maps: http://code.google.com/p/andors-trail/w ... _Mapmaking

Although note that the version it links to is outdated and will be fixed soon.

Is Tiled available on Android, or only Windows, MacOs, and regular Linux?
