Ocean of Tears

It's not a challenge result per se, but I started the Cabilis newbie guide. It's not an urgent call on Green because, well, Kunark.
But it's a start. I just copied Halas as a template. | ||

Will not have any text or notes on it. Do you want? Someone would need to add the grid lines. I'm not to keen on that part. (unless someone told me how to do it - and no, i dont have easy free port access) | |||

So, all I can offer you is Blue plat. Not even a huge amount either ... but enough (and this is very much the point of the challenge) to help you get a start with a Blue character. If you're a caster you can use it to buy spells and some SoW potions (or save it towards buying JBoots), and if you're a melee it's enough to buy a decent starting weapon and some cheap starting gear in the tunnel ... or if you save up just a little more you could even afford an FBSS. Well, actually I can offer one other thing: my thanks! Thanks a ton for mapping those zones and helping the wiki! You picked some slightly tricky ones too: Ocean of Tears was huge and the gird lines weren't exact, so that one must have been extra hard. If you want to collect your hard-earned (Blue) 1.5k platinum PM me and let me know when you'll be on. But whether you do or not thanks for mapping those zones and helping the wiki! Quote:
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Anyone who completes a starting city player guide, like the existing ones for Halas or Kelethin, will also qualify for 1,500 plat in this challenge. To qualify, a guide does not need to define how to get to the guild masters (though it would be great if it did), it just needs to include:
Finally, this isn't a requirement, but please try to use more than just text: add images, links, the new loc template, etc. To use the new loc template, write (eg.): "{{Loc|Halas|139, 54}}" to create a "Halas (139, 54)" link that shows that loc. Use "{{Loc|Halas|139, 54|Halas Starting Loc}}" to make the same link, but with the text "Halas Starting Loc" instead. Benanov, referring to the Cabilis one specifically, it looks like you have everything except:
But since I made up the rules after the fact, and since your guide does have all of the guild directions (which weren't required), I'll award you 1k now, and 2k if you make the above improvements (the extra .5k coming from the fact that you chose Cabilis, which has more starting zones than any other city, and thus requires extra work). Happy wiki editing all!

More maps of Freeport (or any zone really) would be great, and it certainly wouldn't hurt to add them (just as a very small image or even just a link) on the Freeport page ... but ultimately what the wiki really needs is for some intrepid cartographer to take a Freeport map (the EQAtlas one, your's, or any other), and then go through Freeport typing/loc and making marks on the map. Eventually with enough such marks one should be able to draw accurate grid lines, and once we have that we could finally "loc map" Freeport.

I went and did Freeport West. I'd like them to uniformly all have the same scale when at max resolution. But I dont care when they get shrunk. This means it takes a bit more work making sure I did each right cuz id hope to eventually stitch the entire map together. Unless im misinformed and some zones secretly overlap eachother.

That looks great, like someone took it straight out of EQ zone viewer or something (which should mean that it's "loc-accurate" ... unlike the EQAtlas map).
I wish you luck in drawing those "loc lines": I'm sure people doing quests in Freeport would really appreciate having "loc mapped" maps for it!

This is looking awful to do.
So I went and looked at ocean of tears in EQ zone viewer. And the coordinates in EQviewer matched up with the map on the wiki, although x and y were transposed. So using that knowledge, I went to the freeport map and slowly inched towards 0,0 for the exact spot. And then found another location for scale -1000,-500. Theoretically, I could use the pixel coordinates shown in bottom right of this paint program and use some general math to plant other coordinates. EDIT: ok it seems each pixel is literally a single unit. its about 1000 pixels right and 500 pixels down from 0,0 to -1000,-500. May save a lot of time then. but must make sure im not putting in false points [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

I uploaded a grid map for Freeport west on the wiki.
Now I don't know if this is actually correct. I haven't gone in Freeport, these are from the map coordinates in EQ viewer. Code:
testGrid({ image: 'Freeport_west_grid.png', height: 690, width: 845, zeroX: 385, zeroY: 439, interval: 200, maxX: 1400, maxY: 1600, minX: -1600, minY: -800, zoomX: 0.25, zoomY: 0.25 }) | ||

Well, it sounds like you're on the right track [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I'll await further updates.
Also, creating an entirely new map is definitely going above and beyond the challenge requirements. At the very least I'll let you exceed the "3 loc maps" only rule as a result (so if you pull this off you'll hit the challenge cap of 2k Blue plat) ... and if you do manage to pull off actually adding loc-mappable Freeport maps to the wiki, there may even be a slight bonus to boot.
