UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.8.0 Dec 17, re-read OP first]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.6 Dec 5, re-read OP first]

The second optional map... markings for the areas added for the Kingdom Reborn "Inu the Crone" story arc (Inu.MAP). Not sure if every shard has them or not, hence them being optional. Since the areas don't show up on maps they're just labels hanging in midair, so some may find them annoying (another reason for being optional).

Also, here's the icons update.

Some that were added won't be used until the next update of the full map set, but the two optional maps needed enough of them to warrant uploading it now.

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.6 Dec 5, re-read OP first]

So you have selected the Enhanced Client, but did you also verify the path is correct? Vista and Win 7 tend to move things around and based on the other post in this thread that seems to be the culprit when this occurs. Don't assume the path that is listed is correct.

For example my path is this: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Ultima Online Stygian Abyss

EDIT: the picture you have attached to your post above shows the Classic Client (2D) in both paths this is incorrect if you are trying to use the Enhanced Client.

Okay, now to the next stupid question: How do I find the correct path then? I've got Vista so yeah that's probably the issue. But I'm just lousy at theese things and pretty handicapped when it comes to solving the issue myself.

A quick and dirty fix may be to try the path I use. I am using Win 7 Pro, but the path "should" be the same assuming you did not choose a custom path when you installed which is unlikely. See if that works and then we can go from there.

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.6 Dec 5, re-read OP first]

Question about the program.. is it possible to get it to recognize the color of statics when it builds the map files for the world? If you don't get what I mean by that, look at the buildings in Umbra in the 2D client's radar map and compare them to the UOC ones.

Also, the feasability of showing tree canopies would be nice.

I think 2D is doing some trickery there. Mine looks the same as UOAM which also looks the same as the EC map (facet03.dds). I read the statics and look up the colours, so 2D is doing something else.

 

[Crysta]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.6 Dec 5, re-read OP first]

Well 2D looks the best...

If you can't figure it out that's fine, but I just thought i'd bring it up.

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.6 Dec 5, re-read OP first]

For performance reasons I have to run the enhanced client in full screen mode. Is there any way to get UOCartographer to show on top while the enhanced client is in full screen mode?

 

[Kiwillian]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.6 Dec 5, re-read OP first]

Not very easily. DirectX takes the whole screen over when it does that. The only possible way is to find the EC's DirectX surface and draw into that directly which is pretty nasty and prone to lots of problems.

If your graphics card driver lets you, you could try upping the "slow" or "desktop" clock rate to match the faster one if your card runs at two speeds like a lot do. Then it may work better in windowed mode.

 

[Kiwillian]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.6 Dec 5, re-read OP first]

New Version! 0.9.6.7

+ Adds a filter sub-menu so you can filter out specific map files (saves it too!)
+ Removes duplicate map markers at run-time (somewhat indiscriminately)
+ Fix for uncommon "WSACancelBlockingCall" bug
+ Something else which I have since forgotten....

- Removed map (marker) files from the installer.

Now to hassle petra to update the thread title (again!)
edit: Thanks!

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.7 Dec 11, re-read OP first]

Could I make a request?

When I do MIB's on UOAutomap the add a marker allowed me to put in the X and Y coordinates in the degree's... N/S/E/W.... can we get that?

Or is there already some way to convert the degrees to the x and y coordinates?

 

[Basara]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.7 Dec 11, re-read OP first]

Crysta, could you go to The Fishing & Treasure Hunting forum, and get the data for the Treasure maps, and convert the data to a map file for your downloadable map site? It's in text, ready to be pasted into .map file, already - the only change possibly needed would be a specific icon type, if there's not one already for the maps.

Ah, thanks for the response. Both the clock rate and the refresh rate match when I'm running in windowed mode. Perhaps this is something that will improve if they ever fix the serious performance issuses that the enhanced client has.

I copied the t map file to UOC, but the icon used in UOC is a pile of gold, something that I wish was changed to a dot for Treasure Map locations.

 

[Basara]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.7 Dec 11, re-read OP first]

originally, it was the little mountain-looking icon (like the one down by the river, or in the Brit farms area), which was less obtrusive. The Coins need to be a much smaller icon, or just a dot.

 

[Kurgan]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.7 Dec 11, re-read OP first]

For the icons, it would be nice if they did not scale with the map.
This would save people from seeing Monster Icons.
Is it possible to change that feature?

i was helping a guildie get map working and we got everything to work and the map tracks him but there are no icons like the bank or champ spwans and such showing up on his map everthing else seems to be working fine though.
and when we go to the filter markers drop down box the only option is filter town markers and we have checked and un checked it and still nothing?? are we missing something?

My set still uses the gold pile for the treasure markers... I wasn't sure what the consensus on what to do with it was so I hadn't changed it yet. I think I did make it a little smaller, though.

 

[Kiwillian]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.7 Dec 11, re-read OP first]

I just edited your map a bit, Crysta, to change the overground solen entrances to use your "hole" icon instead of the dungeon one. Looks better I think I haven't uploaded it or anything though. Try doing it and see what you think.

 

[Crysta]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.7 Dec 11, re-read OP first]

I know it does look better, but its technically a dungeon. :\

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.7 Dec 11, re-read OP first]

Another thing I just noticed.
I ported all the Tmap locals from UOAM to UOC.
THey are all in the right spots, but the Lat & Lon on the UOC map does not match the Tmap lat & lon.

 

[Kiwillian]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.7 Dec 11, re-read OP first]

Yeah, a couple of other people mentioned the lat/long being off. I think I've fixed it now and it'll be in the next version

 

[Kurgan]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.7 Dec 11, re-read OP first]

Going on the area from Britian to Trinsic, the map Lat & Lon going down from 0°0'S 58°46'E to 59°40'S 58°0'E then it jumps to 71°0N 58°0'E on the next square down. I think this is throwing the Lat & Lon off a bit.
Everything above that is fine for Tmap locals.
If this helps..

 

[Kiwillian]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.7 Dec 11, re-read OP first]

Yeah I think I found the problem already, like I said

You still having that crash problem you posted about earlier?

 

[Kurgan]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.7 Dec 11, re-read OP first]

I think I found the issue.
The map needs to be cropped on the top, left and bottom sides.
Also on the right side near to Heartwood.
These blank areas are still showing Lat&Lon when moused over.

 

[Kurgan]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.7 Dec 11, re-read OP first]

I am at home now, on a XP laptop. No issue's. Will have to try on Monday with WIN7. Once I get back to work..

Yeah the problem was a bug in the centre calculation since it changes in the Lost Lands and it had a bug in it. Like I said, it's fixed now and the fix will be in the next version.

Kiwi, I have a problem, more, my guildie has a problem.

He says, and I quote:

'It kicks me into the malas map'

'did you try to change it to the felucca facet?'

'yes, and it works for like 30 seconds, and just kicks me back into the felucca map'

'did you uninstall, and reinstall the newest version?'

'YES!'

'don't get snippy, ill see if I can get some help'

...so here i am, kiwi. Any ideas?

edit: he runs vista

&edit: he thinks he may have gotten by 'opening and closing it several times'
still, any ideas in case this happens again?

 

[Kiwillian]

Re: UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.6.8 Dec 12, re-read OP first]

A few people seem to have that happen, but it always seems to clear up before I have a chance to look into it

I think what happens is that it somehow gets out of sync with UOA so it doesn't receive any info from it. I'm not sure why or how this happens though.

I did add a switch to log some info about what goes on with UOA to try and track it down which you could try if it happens again. If you (or whoever) have a desktop shortcut to UOC, right click it and choose properties and add --uoalog to the end of the shortcut. Then run it again and move around a bit, maybe switch facets (recall/gate) etc. You should get a new file under My Documents\UOCartographer called UOAlog.txt which you can then send me

The problem is UOA only sends the facet change thing when you change facets, so if you closed UOC in felucca, then restarted it when you were in malas, UOC will show felucca, the difference between UOAM is if you manually changed the map to match the map you were on then you were fine, with UOC if you take one step it'll revert back to the facet it thinks you are on.

What Operating System are you using? Others in this thread, myself included, found that using Vista or Win7 required setting UOC to run as administrator.

Give that a shot and see what happens.

With UO Automap I used to use it to put in my MIB's with the add a marker.

I see you have a way to add markers but it only takes things in the x and y co-ordinates...... is there some way to convert the degree's to x and y? Because honestly I don't know how to get the degree's from the MIB's to x and y.

If there isn't can this be added somehow?
