  • [WIP] August Competition - The Southern Gatehouse

    Despite my effort (pickyness?) to keep all floors aligned with precision.. I managed to mess it up. LOL. As far as I can tell, this error is present even on my second post in this thread. But.. I fixed it.

    And then, just as I was typing this message, I spotted a few minor mistakes. Fixed as well.

    Anyway. I'm keeping the plain white border (not visible below, but you can check it in my post for the competition).





    Thanks to all for your encouragement and feedback!

  • August Mapping Competition - Building Floorplans - Win Prizes

    Well, it's time to post my entry.

    I chose The Southern Gatehouse:

    And this is my entry:

    For those wanting to zoom in further, I'm putting one image per floor in the WIP thread, and this same image (with a better resolution) in my gallery. And if you still want more resolution, I'll be handing the FCW to Monsen for inclusion in the atlas. Which leads me to my next question:

    How is everyone else sending their FCWs to Monsen? Post in the WIP thread? Private message?

    EDIT: Ah, I found the answer myself:

    You can post this with your entry, or send it to me later.

  • Humble Bundle 2022 - Contents?

    If I'm not mistaken, Sue's list only covers the contents of HCC3. Since this bundle also includes HCC1, I might as well post this matrix I've been trying to fill since the last bundle:

    I'm not 100% sure on all entries, but it should be very close.

  • Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas repairs.

    Hi @Don V Anderson Jr. : I'm nowhere near the point where you are, but I decided to cross check your not-so-large list from your previous post...

    TL;DR: Your suggestions seem on-spot, except for:

    • B1cNWlc for which Update3 should be used IMO.
    • Sembia for which I suggest Update3 should be used (and then fix 2 hotspots; details below, near the end)

    And then there are some minor things I found:

    • 4360 Kuo Meilan is missing a label for building "10".
    • 4850 Shadowdale: I like the version from up3 a bit more (reasons below).

    There. That's the TL;DR. You can stop reading if you wish. ;)


    With that out of the way... here's my full analysis.

    0070 Amelior's workshop UPDATE 1

    According to my records, all 4 versions of this map should be identical (my notes suggest to pick any).

    0080 Secret Cave UPDATE 1

    According to my records: all 3 versions (up1-3) of this map should be identical. Up1 should be fine.

    0090 College of Rune Magics UPDATE 1

    According to my records: CD is missing a link to 0100 College of Shaping Magics. Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1-3.

    0100 College of Shaping Magics UPDATE 1

    According to my records: CD is missing links to 0090 College of Rune Magics.FCW and 0110 Mount Drakkor Rouge.FCW. Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1-3.

    1140 Macoley farm UPDATE 1

    According to my records, all 4 versions of this map should be identical (my notes suggest to pick any).

    1270 Mage Lords Crypt UPDATE 1

    Up1-2 are binary-identical, with Up3 being entity-identical. Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1-3.

    1960 Arnagus the shipwright UPDATE 1

    According to my records, all 4 versions of this map should be identical (my notes suggest to pick any).

    2170 Khazari Ra-Khati House UPDATE 1

    Up1-2 are binary-identical, with Up3 being entity-identical. Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1-3.

    3590 Zhentil Keep post 1368 UPDATE 1

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD is missing "Frozen wreck", link to 6780 Sewers Under Zhentil Keep.FCW, and link to 5470 Zhentil Keep.FCW (pre-1368). Up1 should be fine; my notes now suggest up1-3.

    3820 Azatl UPDATE 1

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD is missing link to 0460 Death's Head Bar.FCW and 0470 Golotl's House.FCW.

    Up1 should be fine; my notes now suggest up1-3.

    3981 Dagger Falls UPDATE 1

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD is missing links to 1280 Eagle's Eyrie.FCW and 1270 Mage-Lords Crypt.fcw. There are also a few cosmetic changes, most notably: the roof styles ere changed and the path no longer passes above the river on the ford.

    Up1 should be fine; my notes now suggest up1-3.

    4080 Elmwood UPDATE 1

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD is missing "Frozen wreck", link to 2730 Under Elmwood.fcw. Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1-3.

    4160 Eveningstar UPDATE 1

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD is missing links to 1260 Haunted Halls of Eveningstar.fcw, 1240 The House of the Morning .fcw, and 1230 Tessaril's Tower.FCW.

    Up1 should be fine; my notes now suggest up1-3.

    4220 Helmsport UPDATE 1

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD is missing links to 0420 Caxal's Palace.FCW and 0430 Drakosa Estate.FCW.

    Up1 should be fine; my notes now suggest up1-3.

    4330 Ixtul UPDATE 1

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1-3.

    4360 Kuo Meilan UPDATE 1

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD is missing link to 2310 Palace of Ultimate Felicity.FCW. However, a label (building "10") was removed in Up1 (by mistake, I prsume).

    Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1-3, and perhaps to edit and add the missing label.

    4430 Manass UPDATE 1

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1-3.

    4530 Michaca UPDATE 1

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD is missing link to 0530 The Gilded Kiva Surroundings.fcw.

    Up1 should be fine; my notes now suggest up1-3.

    4750 Raven's Bluff UPDATE 1

    Hadn't checked this one until now (wow! such a big map)...

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD is missing links to 1050 Ashakar's Accessories.fcw, 0920 Sparkling Edge.FCW, 0990 Leaf In Root.fcw, 1190 Coker Wharf Company.FCW, 1040 Flirin's Sea Morsels.fcw, 1010 Safe Harbor Marine Insurance Company.fcw, 0840 Lair of Jeremiah Morningmist.FCW, 0960 The Jack Mooney & Sons Circus (B).FCW, and 1070 The Lighthouse.FCW

    Up1 should be fine; my notes now suggest up1-3.

    4850 Shadowdale UPDATE 1

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    Up1-2 are binary-identical. CD is missing link to 0800 The Lair of Alokkair.FCW. There are too many tweaks made between up2 and up3, so I compared the links: they are all present. I like the version from up3 a bit more: the textures are softer, the scale bar is larger (and more legible), and the drop shadow for text is less noticeable.

    Lacking a more thorough comparison, I guess up1 should be fine; but my notes now suggest up3.

    4950 Suzail UPDATE 1

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD is missing link to 0160 Thistleflame Keep.fcw

    Up1 should be fine; my notes now suggest up1-3.

    4970 Tantras UPDATE 1

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD has no link to temple of Torm. Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1-3.

    4971 Tantras 3D UPDATE 1

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD has no link to 1350 Temple of Torm.fcw.

    Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1-3.

    5390 Waymoot UPDATE 1

    All 3 versions (up1-3) of this map are identical. Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1-3.

    5390 Westgate UPDATE 1

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD is missing a link to 6300 The House.FCW.

    Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1-3.

    5450 Yulash UPDATE 1

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD has no link to 5640 Temple of Moander; buildings are filled with color black. Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1-3.

    5470 Zhentil Keep UPDATE 1

    Up1 and up2 are binary-identical. Up3 has missing links and legend. Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1,2.

    6600 Thri-keen Village below ground UPDATE 1

    Up1 and up2 are binary-identical. Up3 is blank. Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1,2.

    30005 aru UPDATE 2

    Up3 is blank. Up2 is the only option.

    30138 catacombs of moradask UPDATE 2

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    Both up2 and up3 are entity-identical.

    Up2 should be fine; my notes now suggest up2,3.

    B1cNWlc UPDATE 2

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    CD has missing link to 3150 Cloister of St Ramedar Overview. Up1 is missing a link to Amn.FCW. Up2 has several malformed links (absolute path) and has missing links compared to update1 because they were moved to Amn.FCW (such as 0260 Ilefarn Area A Workshops, 3990 Daggerford, 4040 Dragonspear Castle, 3810 Athkatla, 1300 Way Inn Village, and 3960 Crimmor) and is missing a link to Tethyr.fcw compared to up3. Up3 fixed all absolute paths and yet more links were moved to eitherAmn.FCW or Tethyr.fcw (460 Zazesspur.FCW, 4560 Murann.FCW, and 3150 Cloister of St Ramedar Overview.fcw).

    Update3 is definitely the more complete map.

    B1dNElc UPDATE 1

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    Up1-3 are binary-identical. CD is missing a link to 2170 Khazari Ra-Khati House.fcw, 2350 Red Mountain Monastery.fcw, Manass.fcw, and 2180 Horseshoe Temple.FCW.

    Up1 should be fine; my notes suggest up1-3.

    Sembia UPDATE 2

    Hadn't checked this one until now...

    This was a tough one. All maps are different, and all have some error or another:

    • CD is missing link to 6280 North Gate Inn.FCW, 10024 Heggar's Bridge.FCW, 3280 Typical Sembian Family Farm.fcw
    • Up1 is missing link to 4180 Halfhap.FCW and 0200 Tower of Ruin.FCW
    • Up2 has broken link to 5110 Urmlaspyr.FCW, missing link to 10024 Heggar's Bridge.FCW (which was working fine in up1). An finally, several underwater sites are not shown (compared to up3).
    • Up3 has broken links to High Dale.fcw and 3280 Typical Sembian Family Farm.fcw (prepended folder named "Maps/" in path)

    Of these, I'd go for Update3, not only because the previous maps are missing some locations and tweaks, but because it's the easiest to fix: for the 2 offending links, edit the hotspot and remove the "Maps/" part of the path.

    Hope this helps.
