As long as it didn't affect the server or give you info you didn't already have, why wouldn't you if you wanted it?

And how is a map app any different from the printed maps we had back in 1999 sitting right next to our computer?

Most important questions: why do you care what other people do? how does another person's private fun affect you?

And no, Hawk, Devs really cannot put a stop to log parsers, any more than VOIP.

But, But, but... IT'LL RUIN THE GAME!!?!11

For comparison, here is the currently under development map section of my P99 Parser in action. Sorry for crappy video quality. (GTK3+, Python, Cross-Platform)

Very interested in this. I'm running on a Mac under wine if you want another combo to beta it.

Looks awesome Mirox! Are you open sourcing it? (what license?)

Maybe we can come up with a common format for /loc sharing/APIs so users of either app can share their locations with their friends/guild/world.

GPL v2 license. I need to go open source not only cause I like it, but people won't use the program otherwise. They may think I want to steal their pixels!

I would be interested in a common API for gets and pushes of locations. I was thinking of setting up a server mode, but it would be run by the user where people could connect to their ip if they want.

I would be interested in setting up a central server that works like channels, where someone can setup a channel with a password, and people can connect to it. That way, you don't require the server owner to be connected to the internet with the server running.

What are your thoughts on this?

This sounds like a cool app!

Over at http://norrathmap.com we've been working on a similar app that is in closed alpha testing for the last few months. We hope to move to beta in the next few weeks.

I'm glad to hear confirmation that it isnt against the rules.

Man, I really love all the "It's not Classic" shit responses. I bet 75% of them are running a different UI than the normal one, or have the Velious models on, or the better equipment skin updates on, etc,etc.

Just go away and start your own damn server and delete your forum account on here. Shit gets old. Grow the hell up.

I'll forego the glaringly obvious rebuttal...

Since this argument seems to be no longer bound by the constraints of logic I'll just say this... Those of you who are for the map hacks are racists. Those of us against the map hacks are exceptionally handsome, charming and witty.

Ya'll bitching about this are idiots. The goal of the devs is the recreate a classic server environment.

Yeah and this program is completely unclassic. Not being able to see exactly where you are in the game World is precisely what made Everquest the game it was, as compared to the fast-food MMO's of the past decade.
