Just got my latest creation working. It basically adds dungeon walls to the radar, a bit like Magellan use to do, except it adds it to the radar instead of showing it separately.


Download it here: http://www.flynn1179.me.uk/ac/?minimap

You'll also need the latest version of Radar Add-on for it to work (V1.1.0.0) or later.

Download that here: http://www.flynn1179.me.uk/ac/?radaraddon


Nobody's tested this except myself at this point, and I don't have an account with ToD active right now, so there's quite a few dungeons it's never been tested in. If there any problems, let me know.


Here's a couple of screenies:

Enjoy.

Edit: Before I forget, HUGE thanks to Akilla for all the help deciphering AC's data files, that could have taken me months doing that from scratch.

owwowowowowowoowowowowowowowowowowowowowowwowowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwowowowowowowo!


holy map plugins Batman!


this is sweet and awesome! i am druling and dl at the same time, wonder which one will get done 1st?


question...

since it will draw the map in the radar, is there a way to get it to save it and have the dungeon drawn out in like a text file or something for mapping purposes? was thinking that something like that might help ACMaps out for dungeons they dont have yet. this would be an option say you could turn on and off.

Any plans to be able to add anything to the map, so we can mark traps and monster spawns?


Very nice plugin. Thanks for making it.


[edit]

Sometimes the radar becomes a black square.. (I can show you screenshots if you haven't already seen it..) It fixes itself when you log out/in or enter a portal. Just thought I'd point that out..

Hm.. haven't seen that happen myself. I know what circumstances can cause it, but I didn't think it was possible for it to get to that state. Can you reproduce the problem?


Edit: Hold that thought, it just happened to me. I'll look into it.

yes i have it happen to me, the place it 1st happened is when i portaled up to crater lake, when i stepped outta the dungeon and ran toward the middle it turned into a black sqaure. i could back up and it would go away then move forward and it would come back over and over again.


also any thoughts on the other post i made above about it recording the map?

I think that plugin is insane! That's great stuff. Keep up that good work. This is the kind of stuff AC need ages ago. I know they made a radar plugin before, but this one takes the cake!

Very nice . I haven't tried it yet, but does it leave "bread crumbs" where you've been?


I tried something similar myself but had too much trouble decoding the dungeon files.


This has some other interesting applications like automatically creating ACMaps-like maps of dungeons (without annotations of course), or doing route finding in dungeons.
