Enhanced Quadrant Map (EM)

Leatherpoker · Post by **Leatherpoker** » Fri Nov 12, 2010 3:27 am

Hey everyone,

I've put together an enhanced version of the quadrant map with a bit more detail and flare. There are economy and territory maps included also.

This new version also includes coordinates for the main systems and an increased resolution for the new zoom feature.

You can download the map here:

Enjoy! Comments are welcome!

Yeah, they are the suns....or cosmic daisies (hidden easter eggs?!).

Oik, I was just about to toss out my own custom maps and replace them with yours ... until I realized you need to add coordinates to at least one of them. Some of us still use the "emergency jump" option now and then ... and that can put you beyond map range of any object (meaning, you need a set of coordinates to find your way back to civilization).

The good news is that Vice's addition of the "zoom quadrant map" function makes it possible to use a smaller font.

Ah, good call Marvin. Which would be more useful- general coordinates on the x and y axes of the map or coordinates labeling each system?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. I thought the only way you could do it is the way Vice originally did it.

I think Coords for each of the main systems would be the most useful, some of us like to cruise through interstellar space from time to time(or maybe its just me).

No pyroka. Your not alone. I'm drifting around as well.

Here you go folks! Updated the maps with the coordinates and a higher resolution for the zoom mode.

Enjoy!

Looks great, but it doesn't show clan stats.

:(

Clan stats are an overlay ... that's why you can de-select them when viewing the quadrant map.

Pyroka · Post by **Pyroka** » Tue Nov 16, 2010 5:49 am

And reading your response made me realize: I checked the map in SP, hence no clans for there to be stats for.

Ok, tested the map in MP, works like a charm. Excellent work Leatherpoker, good job!

Thanks for the advice, warsign! Box.net is indeed much better. I've updated the link using box.net now.

Great maps!

thanks

How do I use them in the game? (sorry to be thick, but I'm just getting into adding mods!)

Pyroka · Post by **Pyroka** » Tue Nov 23, 2010 3:34 pm

Just put the hud folder into your main EM game folder. That's all there is to it!

Leather, those maps are fantastic!

Post by **DaveK** » Tue Nov 23, 2010 5:18 pm

Thanks - they are much easier to use!

Do you mind if I use your maps and tweak them a bit?

Sure, go right ahead! I'm going for an "open source" thing here, so feel free to do whatever and post it if you'd like.
