Hi all,
In an effort to add some utility to my p99-patcher (
https://github.com/ahungry/p99-patcher) I have added a new map app.
The tool only reads your log data (similar to the auction tracker uploader) - it does not touch raw packets or any memory/p99 files, so should be legal per policy.
The app will look through your log file for the latest /loc you have done, and map your location on the zone you are currently in.
I have plans to expand and have shared maps (latest player locations stored on my server), so you could set up a shared map account for your guild, and be able to view any guildie's location (if they were using the app and a /loc macro bound to a movement key) in real time (even across zones).
The current maps include all the details the Sony maps do (and are drawn client side in your web browser at
http://localhost:4444/mapper/?map-name=ecommons (or whatever zone)).
I have plans to go through the wiki/allakhazam/eqatlas and update the map files to include the location data for static camps, so you would see pinpoints on a map that include:
- Your current location (thanks to a /loc macro)
- Your friends/guildies current locations (or maybe a global shared loc list)
- The data Sony provides (class trainer locations etc.)
- Mob spawns (maybe paths mapped out sometime as well)
The mapping is 100% real time if you do continually use your /loc macro.
I have a little work to do on auto-detecting the player's current zone (will have to have users do a /who all themself, or see if a message is entered into log when zoning), at which point i'll put up a static windows exe for download/use (the p99 patcher exe I have right now available does not have these mapper updates).
You can get it early or review the source on my github at
