Looking for a tool/program.. - Rayvolution - 08-08-2012 11:05 PM
Anyone know if there's a program out there that will make a large overhead map of a chunk of your map? I've tried searching with little luck.
Basically, I want an in-game (not the radar map) full sized image of an area of my map, just like I did with my city here:

Basically, I want to do that automatically. The image you see above in my link was done manually in WorldForge, I just zoomed out a little and pasted a ton of screenshots in Photoshop and stuck them all together.
Is there any program out there that will do this for me?

Something like this?
http://ultimairis.sourceforge.net/map/
Today is not whether it will work fine. I remember it was easy to use, enter coordinates to extract, depth and wait.
Edit. There may be a newer version of when they began developing version two of iris ( http://www.iris2.de )

Wow, thats perfect!
I'll give it a shot when I get home. That looks like exactly what I need.
How did you find it? I've been hunting for a program like this for about a week now LOL.
Down the line I want to have a fully rendered version of my entire map on my website with web based interface so people can just see the whole map, zoom in/out (Google maps style) and see where everyone is. I have a lot of coding to see if it'll work, but getting a program to render the map is the first step.

You're talking to an old dog, hehe. Knowing who developed it in his day was easy to locate.
You may be interested this other project.

Very nice buddy, hope I will play in your shard if you accept international players.

yes, we do, actually. We're hoping to start our Alpha sometime in the somewhat near future. Since we're basically "reinventing UO" we have a ton of work to do. I plan to completely rewrite all the craft trees, and rewrite how most of the combat skills interact with each other. I'm even rewriting every single NPC/monster (from scratch). Our goal is to basically create an entirely new MMORPG *based* on the Ultima Online engine and play style.
The shard is geared for adult, mature gamers. We're trying to create more than just another UO server, we're trying to create a respected community of gamers.
I currently run a minecraft server called SixtyGig (http://www.sixtygig.com) with the same mentality, if you're interested in what kind of players I'm trying to attract, you can read a bit on those forums. You'll be pleasantly surprised by their attitudes.
