Aylee,

Looking forward to the next update. The auto updater is an awesome feature but it probably cut down on traffic in this thread. I just wanted you to know people are using your program and loving it!

As I promised: MappingOut 3.0.0
22 February 2007

Yes we have decided to release version 3, just after the release of version 2. For this version we have decided to go back to the beginning and add all the missing maps, collectors and green "unique" weapons, this should give everyone a complete picture of the 3 continents. We have added some new options to the collectors menu which should help you to work out which collector items you should be keeping, and which ones you should throw away. Anyways, onto the update:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAJOR UPDATES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- added missing maps for Tyria (Ascalon pre-searing, Ascalon post-searing, Northern Shiverpeaks, Kryta, Maguuma)
- added missing map for Cantha (Shing Jea Island)
- added 3 green weapons, located in Tyria's new maps: Totem Axe, Forgotten Fan and Rotwing Recurve Bow
- added "Charr Bag" green item, in Pre-searing Ascalon
- added all low level green items on Shing Jea Island
- added missing elite skils in Maguuma and Ascalon (during Titans' quests)
- added all missing collectors to Shing Jea Island (Cantha)
- added all missing collectors to Istan
- added all missing collectors to Ascalon (pre and post-searing), Southern shivepeaks, Kryta and Maguuma
- added a new filter in collectors schedule. Now you can choose if showing all collectors, low level or high level ones

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
MINOR UPDATES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- fixed language for "Zone" text in main menu. Forgot to load the text from the language file
- changed the position of the links in the options menu
- fixed right click behaviour, when automatic rollover popup display is selected
- fixed an error in an object owned by Vabbi Trade Official 2
- added "Vizunah Square (Foreign Quarter)" to "Kaineng City" map

Oooooh. I know I've read that message, I just totally forgot about it since the last time I posted on here. My memory is really bad like that so my mistake. Good to see you're still putting work into it alongside all your real life priorities, we appreciate it.

Wish there was a way we could thank you besides words they. lol hey, need any good equipment? You can always ask me and I'll hook you up for free. XD

Oh hey, before I forget I wanted to ask if you looked into one of my older requests about making us able to zoom out some on your maps to get a wider view of the area. Not sure if you're already able to do it since it's been a while since I was really active on GW (work, ugh) but if you already have it in there then just ignore this part.

Thanks

Really good work

Aylee Sedai · Feb 25, 2007, 02:30 PM // 14:30

Kaolla,
I haven't forgotten your suggestions

. You may be wondering why I haven't done this yet... Well, there are 3 main reasons:
1) it's not so simple to add a zooming feature. So, it would take long and I'd like to finish some minor update, for first
2) I have to add a Multilanguage feature... Lots of users asked that loud! (since I'm italian, I couldn't deny an Italian Mapping longer

). Anyways, this multilanguage features will make me change also the "map style", because I have to translate also all outposts/towns name

. So that I would like to have my mind clearer on this argument, in order to make any changes, such as the zooming...
3) I'd like to change all maps, adding 100% full explored maps, in order to allow people to achive the Catographer title. Changing maps dimension NEEDS absolutely a zooming funcion...

Concluding... I have to think about this zooming feature realyl deeply, otherwise I would commit some huge mistakes

Great work Aylee, it helps alot on my elite skill capping quest.

Kaolla · Mar 01, 2007, 03:03 AM // 03:03

Hey, I finally noticed you fixed an old bug I had mentioned (map window not decreasing in size if screen resolution is lowered), and another little thought popped into my head, to give you something to do. Well first I'm not sure if you have the menu window and the map window parts permanently stuck together, but being able to separate them and move them around as they are would be nice if it's not already there.

But what I really wanted to mention was docking, or snapping as some might call it. Where you reposition the window, make it be able to 'snap' to the edges of your computer screen to quick, efficient coverage.

As always, keep up the good work, buddy.

Hmm, I think I might be missing something here. MappingOut 3.0 came out? But I can't seem to find a link to download it. In the GuildWarsGuru download section it only has verison 1.8, which is quite outdated if 3.0 is out. Anyone got a download link for 3.0? I'd really like to have this program. By the way, from the sounds of this program, it has got to be the best thing ever for Guild Wars; wish I found this sooner.

udoh · Mar 03, 2007, 10:09 AM // 10:09

Hi,

A couple of links for you to download version 3.0 of MappingOut:

http://www.purple-pixels.co.uk/mappingout.php

or

http://laruotadeltempo.forumfree.net/?t=13818920

Hope that helps.

sykoone · Mar 03, 2007, 01:54 PM // 13:54

Or, you could just the update feature built into the program.

Aylee Sedai · Mar 03, 2007, 03:34 PM // 15:34

Udoh wrote down two correct links... moreother, If my memory doesn't fail me, v1.8 is the first with the automatic update in it. So that, if you downloaded that, you could update your MappingOut to version 3.0, just clicking on the update button...

But, for sure, the direct link is pretty faster

Kaolla · Mar 03, 2007, 06:39 PM // 18:39

Wasn't there some sort of little problem with one of the auto-updates? Either like it wouldn't work and you had to redownload the client a final time, or you had to choose that other server to download a particular update. I can't remember exactly which, my memory is shot.

sykoone · Mar 03, 2007, 07:25 PM // 19:25

I found a slight error. The collector Dei Waeng in Zin Ku Corridor has a Fire wand that comes up as a two-handed weapon.

Aylee Sedai · Mar 03, 2007, 11:41 PM // 23:41

sykoone,
thank you, I fixed the problem you pointed out

... Next update will include that.

Kaolla,
I wrote on my todos the "snapping feature"

Thanks as always

Queen of the Sand · Mar 07, 2007, 07:22 PM // 19:22

I know its been said many time

Aylee your program rocks.

A++++++

Best program yet

How about running routes added ect

Aylee Sedai · Mar 09, 2007, 10:40 AM // 10:40

Queen of the Sand,
thanks a lot. I'm glad my little "Mappy" has been so appreciated!
I add the "running routes" to my todos list. My warrior, Narya, was excited at that idea, so she can share her experience (she owns Aylee lots of money and she wishes she could delete her debt in that way!)
Anyways... It won't be an easy task, but I will think about it!

May the Light shine on you
Aylee Sedai

King Kong · Mar 09, 2007, 07:33 PM // 19:33

Love the program, and thought i would add a couple of ideas

- Date of birth, so we know when our char is next due a minipet!
- Chapters complete, ive got 10 chars and sometimes cant remember which ones have done what game! lol a tickbox would be great

Keep up the good work!

Maybe something like where we can check off what towns our characters have or haven't unlocked already. With 8 characters I tend to forget pretty often on my lesser played toons which ones can go to, say, The Dragon's Lair, and which ones can't go.

Aylee Sedai · Mar 11, 2007, 03:30 PM // 15:30

Kaolla & King Kong,
everything you said is stored in my todos archive... I'm nearly done with my thesis, so you will hear news from me soon

For now... May the Light protect you!
