That is downright cool! Please go ahead and add some - I've no monopoly on that guide. And actually, it was about sailing, so it probably isn't entirely relevant. I'm curious what it looks like at different zoom levels, though.

I'll go get some more pictures for you right away.

EDIT:
Here's all of the zooms all the way out to all the way in.

Currently at sea you can't see the islands but maybe they'll add that in.

Fantastic! Look, you can see the boundaries it uses to calculate "YOU ARE SAILING TOO CLOSE TO SHORE." Quick! Get one of each island before they take it away!

Lol, I doubt they'll take it away since it's such a good improvement to the compass.
Later I'll go get some pictures of the other islands.

LOL. It's maybe too good - that's why! :-)

It will give me something to do when the update hits, that's for sure. If you get some more, please try to make sure you are facing exactly North. For each island, like this, I'll be able to enlarge the maximum zoom view, then supplement it with minimum zoom overlays (and actually get the positioning right!)

This opens up all sorts of things for game cartography. Might finally get a decent picture for Queen's Nest.

I hope you don't plan on trying to take pictures and then put them all together to make a map of each island. If so it's going to be a big task and almost impossible to do to make it look good. The arrows will have to be taken out and you'll have to put whatever the arrow was on back in.

I wouldn't want to do it.

There is only a map for PR i hope you know.

Lol.. gotta love ya Edgemenace...what would we do without the OCD people in this world.

That's coming from a woman who has a master list of all of her favorite authors' (pleural) books so that when I look for a new book I can check my list and make sure I haven't already bought it or read it.

I got Test working by reinstalling it: I had to switch the drive regular POTCO was on. Anyway, I think I approve of the change. But now, with POTCO on D, everything when I'm walking on open land is whitened down. The ground is blank white, and the walls are various forms of peach and other light colors--the insides of buildings and the seas are fine though.

Anyone know how to solve those problems?

salty 01-26-2009 11:22 PM

all you testers out there when do you think the new update will come on open

swashbuckler II 01-26-2009 11:51 PM

I give it a month or a few weeks.

Maximvs 01-27-2009 12:02 AM

As usual Salty - I expect them to take our issues, do two one or two sets of fixes, we'll send in more but they will release it anyway LOL :D

Since they are on their second set of adjustments... I would think soon...
