Maps?

[Lord Strong]

Is there a simple way to display an offline server map of a game i started on my own. i did an adventurer map. I tried to research this but I don't know when its talking about wurm online or wurm unlimited. I'm trying to simplify this for myself. I don't want to make a custom map but may do this sometime. I just want to see where im at in the world and be able to load the map periodically to see where i stand in my own world lol. thanks for help in advance.

i tried getting map viewer but don't know the correct way to unarchive it. i used winopener and it works very strange to me. Is it really supposed to be this complicated to display a freaking map of wurm unlimited? maybe someone can help me figure out a map viewer thats current and able to install correctly. I can do this if someone knows EXACTLY how to set up map viewer and display my wurm map. I been working on trying to figure this out for over an hour and I almost ready to give up and play the game without a map.

Has anyone helped you or have you figured this out?

Mapviewer is a .jar, you put it in your wurm directory and it functions off of those files. You run the .jar like an exe (open with java.exe or javaw.exe) and then you can load the map file (top_layer.map) and view the map in its fullness!

If you just want an offline copy of the map, the default Creative (Ocrea) and Adventure (Heavenord) maps are both shown here:

http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/132300-new-wowu-maps/

You can also get them ingame by clicking on the globe/map icon on the Quickbar (same bar that has CLIMB, backpack etc). That won;t work with custom maps withough some fiddling. Neither map will show you your exact location but with a compass you can maybe figure it out. The inagem map should also show locations of the Standing Stones that you first spawn in at.

EDIT: Oh goodness, that was last may someone asked that, how'd this get bumped lol

This post is old but i see i got replies. I since this time moved to multiplayer servers. single player doesnt do anything for me and gets very boring. I try remember this post if i ever need my own maps again lol. I play on Xanadu (WO) And Zenath (WU). See ya around maybe. ;)

Are you wanting to view the map i.e. as in google maps style view external to the game or are you wanting to insert a custom map image to be displayed in-game?

Yes. It is possible to use some code to view a map on the server side. Some modding for server is allowed (discussion on the forum for Wurm Online). Although modding for client is rather disallowed (detailed in-game map for all users). Resources and locations for villages, players, uniques or dragons should be hidden.

I am trying to insert the map into the server so everyone can see it when pressing map key. However when i use the steps listed in the show map server side vs client side forum post i get a map.XXX not found. checked server and XXX.jar ( map) file is loading but it is not being found by clients on diferent machines or networks. Also my server has http.conf file for server packs code. If someone could help me I would love it a ton.

It is a bit complicated. Open JAR file in EVERY client: SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Wurm Unlimited\WurmLauncher\packs\graphics.jar using for example 7.zip (Open Archive). There is text file mappings.txt. In this document you have map files names redirected to their locations:

map.epic = gui/testMaps/Epic_cluster.dds
map.desertion = gui/testMaps/Desertion_01.dds
map.elevation = gui/testMaps/Elevation_01.dds
map.affliction = gui/testMaps/Affliction_01.dds
map.serenity = gui/testMaps/Serenity_01.dds

map.freedom = gui/testMaps/freedom.dds
map.celebration = gui/testMaps/Celebration_01.dds
map.chaos = gui/testMaps/Chaos_02.dds
map.deliverance = gui/testMaps/Deliverance.dds
map.exodus = gui/testMaps/Exodus_01.dds
map.independence = gui/testMaps/Independence_01.dds
map.pristine = gui/testMaps/Pristine_01.dds
map.release = gui/testMaps/Release_01.dds
map.xanadu = gui/testMaps/xanadu_01.dds
map.xanadu0 = gui/testMaps/xanadu_01_zoom.dds

Probably you have to exchange some of this DDS files (Photoshop? GIMP?) with your versions. Eventually maps for this server, server East, West, North, South etc. Idk what to do with these names yet.

I still believe there is simpler way ;)

Have tried everything i can think of to get custom map showing when hitting "M" and this is what i get:
