Wow! How did you do those? They look amazing!

Keep them up please!

Are the Deep and Urgoz also possible?

I prefer to have "clean" files, annotations can be added by people using the maps to write guides etc. on them. Nothing is worse than the only copy of the map having text saying "Reaper of the Ice Wastes" in the way of where you want to draw.

I think Deep and Urgoz should be possible yes, however I don't think me and Agony go to them often enough to make a map like this. We make them by taking screenshots using the Argos Soft cam tool and then piecing them all together in photoshop and drawing in/correcting manually.

Now I have finally finished the mapping of the entire UW! You may notice that messed up a bit in the passages between Vale to Chamber and Chamber to Wastes.

I am using the Argos Cam like you said and when I take pictures, I can't seem to get them lined up.

1) How far are you zooming out? Seems like all the way

2) How many pictures do you have to take to piece them together nicely?

I have been trying but I don't really understand.

1) Yes it is zoomed out all the way - you could use any zoom level but the further out it is the less pictures you need to take
2) You need to take 100s of pictures, and piece them together in photoshop by erasing parts and distorting the edges such that they look like they could be 1 image.

Absolutelly EPIC! It's really cool, thanks!
Is it available in TexMod*?

*Is it legal? Third-party programs/bots are forbidden, but wiki says "By using this program you acknowledge that you cannot hold ANYONE responsible for what happens to your game or account."

It could probably be made to replace the U map with a texmod package, but I can't be bothered to do this. Feel free to do it yourself if you want.

I haven't been banned so I guess its allowed/not detected.

That's pity, why would do it without putting it in game?
I've tried to do it, but haven't found all map pieces. I hope someone else will.

We made it for drawing tactics on not for an in-game thing.

This is excellent indeed. I too am wondering how to put this in gane, via Texmod no doubt. There is a way, as there are Texmods which put ingame mission maps onto yours, with all the directions and boss locations and so on, so the map can be changed.
