HUGE In-Game Map Available for Download
Greetings!
The HUGE AO In-Game Map is now available for download!
This latest map creation consists of two maps, a regular sized map with general overview information, and a larger sized map (four times the size of the regular map) which provides incredible detail of playfield terrain and structures. These maps also provide the following information:
- Playfield borders with zone lines
- Playfield names
- Whom-Pah System routes
- Grid Access Terminal locations
- Public Grid Access requirements
- Fixer Grid Exits
- Playfield Locations in the Fixer Grid
- Ferry Routes
- Guarded Locations (outposts, guard posts, etc.)
- Startup Backyard Locations
- Carbonrich Rock fields and qualities
- Labeled Points of Interest
- Dungeons
- Amenities (bank terminals, insurance terminals)
- Supermarkets
- Vendor/shop general locations
- Special Vendor locations
A legend can be found at the bottom of the large map, where there are also listings of the fixer grid by floor, public grid requirements, Whom-Pah connections, and a mini-map of the Whom-Pah System routes. On the smaller map, listing of the fixer grid by floor is located on the bottom; listings of the public grid requirements, and Whom-Pah connections are located on the right side; and a mini-map of the Whom-Pah System routes is located in the upper left-hand corner.
These maps function just as the original maps do, allowing for zooming in and out, centering the map to your current location, and uploading your mission location. Please note: Due to the inconsistent placement of playfields within the actual game itself, the reticle may be off by a few pixels in certain playfields. I've come up with the most consistent balance, however, and this should will be a very minor inconvenience.
This map is currently in it's final 'test-phase', and will receive it's final release within the next few weeks. The map is current to 14.7.8.2 (which is the current build on the test server). A few minor changes and the addition of LCAs will be added to the final version of this map.
This map was created with the intent to guide travelers and inspire explorers to discover areas they might not have seen before. This map is not intended to give information on where to find creatures to kill them. There will be no information on dynamic boss camps, or hunting areas on this map.
