2 days ago the instances from Atlasmod.com were added to the maps system (with permission from Dan). When I'm finished with posting this message I'll add the location information to the database so they show up tomorrow on the zones tag pages.

WoW Screenshots Map disabled


The new style maps on the wow screenshot pages are there now for a while. People seem to like them alot as they startmoving them around and check out place in the world. For the moment they are disabled to correct a few issue's. There are some problems I would like to fix before putting them back on. They can be very bandwidth demanding so I'll be looking into using a mix of image type to have optimal bandwidth useage but keeping the quality up. Another thing that is going to be included are Instance maps (thanks to Dan Gilbert from atlasmod.com). The third issue are the markers. Currently they are only on a handfull of zones like Nagrand. (The maps will only be removed on screenshot pages, but will be available on the map page and the page pages since they are still usefull on those pages.) This upcoming change will also include (when available) 4 diget coords to improve acuracy.

Custom Google Map Tiles part 2/2: Slicing the tiles and creating the HTML



Time to create a Custom Tiled Google Map from out previous created World of Warcraft map. We'll do 3 maps in this tutorial. Starting with an easy of GTASA (Grand Theft Auto Sanandreas), then we'll make it a bit harder and make a Guild Wars map. After that we'll make a World of Warcraft map out of 4 parts. Below are the images needed for each map. With the GTASA I'll take you by hand over each step so you can get familier with the steps and give a short explanation of what each option/handling does. With the Guild Wars map we'll make a bigger map and with the World of Warcraft map we make a map out of 4 images and use some extra techniques to speed things up.
