Because the map function ingame wasnt a classic part of the game. People making programs to read logs and mark points on a map is allowed.

I'm gonna laugh if they ever disable writing /loc's to a logfile

3rd party map apps. Don't worry guys it's totally classic.

Thanks for all those that have signed up so far as well as all the feedback.

Just FYI - velious maps have been/are available.

You want to read their log files but won't let them see your source? Not sketchy at all..

"The app isn't open sourced, I'm sorry."

Why is a fan created tool for a community project that is run by volunteers not open source? Also why does this matter when answering the question that was asked? I don't have much room to talk here since I am not really interested in map utilities anyway, but I am very skeptical of this tool now in light of that response.

However, assuming that your aim is not misguided (thinking you can make money on this) or malicious in some way, the transparent overlay does look pretty cool.

I know some folks would like to see it be open sourced, but it isn't.

The reason I do side projects like NorrathMap is because it gives me an outlet to let me code what I want how I want it. I can't do that at work working on software for companies. If I open source it, I feel I lose some of that free-ness I get from my personal projects.

If you're uncomfortable using it, please don't. No one is forcing you to do anything. If you do use it, it brings me a bit of satisfaction that I made something people enjoy. If you have some suggestions on how to make it even more useful, I'm all ears.

I bet all the complainers duck/cancel on their spells during Chardok AOE PL sessions [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
