    PoE2 maps for finding stuff

    A little sample of something I've been tinkering with lately. This is a map auto-generated from the server files and a blank map. I have done them for all of the maps, but I'm not 100% happy with the results yet.

    Sorry for the huge size, but you kinda need to make it big to be able to put a label on things and pinpoint their location.

    The labels are pretty self explanatory, but
    AA = AA pickup
    AT = AT pickup
    S = sniper rifle, anti-material in this case
    LS = the quiet sniper rifle
    MG = MG pickup

    The maps which are used by the client are 1024x1024. I extracted it from the client.zip file. I just doubled the size in code. I thought about leaving it, but the text was just too large on the small map.

    By the way, if anyone knows how to make me an overlay with diagonal bars and a square gradient like they have in the game, I could use that for the out-of-bounds. As it is, I just overlayed a transparent reddish grey with the combat area cut out. I could easily do the same cutout with the bar pattern. 2048x2048 png plz

    Very cool. I didn't know about at least half those pickups.

    Re: PoE2 maps for finding stuff

    I'm a little unsure of how to present them. 2048x2048 images don't make really nice posts. Especially when I have one for every map at every size. (13x3)

    I guess maybe a post with a bunch 'o links.

    Re: PoE2 maps for finding stuff

    Ha! Getting closer. I did some more tweaking last night and created another set of files. I'm almost happy with the text appearance. There are a few 16-player maps which are breaking my mapsize detection code (some are 1024x1024, some are 2048x2048), and causing everything to be plotted in the wrong place.

    I'm still waiting for someone to give me nice diagonal lines for the background.

    Re: PoE2 maps for finding stuff

    btw, why does "LS" mean "Quiet Sniper"?

    Dunno... it come from the name they use in the game files. The kits are named something like
    GER_SNIPER
    UKR_SNIPER
    UKR_LSNIPER

    I'm not even sure which guns come with which kits, but I saw the LSNIPER version on Orel, and I've only seen the silenced sniper rifle there, so that's what I assume is correct.

    Does SS = Silenced Sniper make sense?

    Go figure... here it is.

    Maybe VSS is the best abbreviation.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSS_Vintorez

    Seems that all of these are described in the PoE manual as well.
