Radar Map

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.computer.ultima.online (More info?)

Anyone know where you can get an image of the entire Britannia map rendered
in the same form as the ingame radar?

InsideUO can apparently render a map with the altitude data on it, but of
course, it doesn't put the trees in as nice little round lumps, so looks
horrid.

I can't seem to find a particular map file that UO would be using (as it
must be sourced from the map.mul files and rendered on the fly).

AFAIK UO Auto-map is the best extracted maps, but I'm not sure if that's
what you are asking for or not?

No, the ones on the radar look different now, but they must be processed in
realtime, I guess.

Back during the beta some guys stitched together screendumps of the
in-game radar map and published those maps on their sites. When Alazane
came out with InsideUO they were all rendered superfluous however. Anyhow,
I'd offer some of the original ones but I guess you want the kind like
that new radar map gump has (unless you reverted to the old style) so
nevermind.

The thought of doing that has crossed my mind, but I think it would be
tortuous to do - I've done it once for real world aerial photos!

What are you trying to map out? Or do you just want a pretty wallpaper...

I just want a pretty map to print that represents the forests, terrain
etc. better than the UOAM one does.

As for the real world one (if that's what you meant) I did it for work,
zooming in to the UK, then down to county scale, eventually zooming into
the town where our office is, complete with terrain heights.
