Tommarow your help has been relentless (with the last instalment).

Truly i have a lot of respect for these people like Tommarow and Livingston who try to help others get the GMC title as well. Believe me whoever has no idea of it already: this is probably the most time-consuming title and annoying one as well to get in the game.

I am still at 99.4%...Livingston says 18 spots left, I think maybe 12?

Here is my map, could I have accurate spots shown please (aka not spots that its impossible to get to) whoever is nice enough to help, I will pay you back in some way..(help, green items, you name it).

Cheers!

I have 95,7% now and I don't know where is the rest (except Tombs).

I would estimate no chance. You'll need at least most of it mapped, even allowing for the leeway.

It's not *that* hard to do, to be honest - and you might even net yourself some hero armour along the way.

Just try to do it in stages, one corner at a time. Once you have a door open, use Junundu Tunnel as much as possible and take a running skill for the few bits that a worm can't get to.

If you completely map it, you'll probably be near on 98%.

Ok from this point onward the posting of map requests is on-hold...

Tommarow has already stated he is quiting this after this final batch. All requests beyond this will be deleted.

Wowzer... looks like I've been missing a massive amount.

May I say a final thanks to tommarrow for all his hard work.

Tempy · Feb 21, 2007, 10:31 PM // 22:31

I got missed, but can understand...go have some fun Tomarrow.

Happy Hunting.

Macros Thanatos · Feb 21, 2007, 10:41 PM // 22:41

I FINALLY GET IT!!!!

you are the best tomarrow, without your assistance, I will be still far from the title.

thanks a lot !!!

Eternity · Feb 21, 2007, 11:23 PM // 23:23

What can I say but THANK YOU!

Managed to get it with just half of the locations suggested, and I must say...some of those were so glaring, I'm almost embarassed to call myself a cartographer

Amazing work as always, and I'm sure we'll all miss your help and support in this thread. Thanks again, tommarrow.

SirJackassIII · Feb 22, 2007, 11:10 AM // 11:10

Hm, slightly disappointed I'm not in that last batch. Ah well, guess I'll go look for a slightly less than legal way to get Photoshop...<.<

Thx anyway.

Livingston · Feb 22, 2007, 11:19 AM // 11:19

You can use Gimp as well. It's a free program and does the job pretty well.

If you are under 40 years old (and maybe even if you aren't), finding it and picking it up should come second nature to you.

Simply - download 30 days trial. :-)

Uff 96,6%. Still without Tombs. :-)

Congrats to Macros and Eternity, you are very welcome for the assist.
I still have some more to do I am just doing it in stages. Tempy and Sirjackass you will be in the next group.
Livingston is correct about Gimp, that is the program I use and it is 100% free to use. Using this software it is so easy to compare maps that I wish more people would try to do this since then you can say you got the title on your own. Then you can go to the other chapters and get them if you haven't already.
Go to page 1 of this thread and read up on how to do this using your "M" map. I had never used any photoshop type software before but was able to do this on my first try. I find it is easier to just turn the top layered map off and on then it is to use the difference filter.

Starky · Feb 22, 2007, 06:36 PM // 18:36

Where i can download that Gimp, can you write me addres?

Tommarrow can you scan me that map? It's 1280x1024, now I have 99.5%. Last scan gave me 0.2%.

Ah. Tyvm. I've managed to get a hold of some Photoshop (wasted my trial by doing Tyria myself) and can't seem to see any spots left on my current Elonian map. Then again, I'm probably not as experienced as you are.

Starky · Feb 22, 2007, 09:10 PM // 21:10

Thanks for adress Ormiel and SirJackassIII

tommarrow · Feb 22, 2007, 09:20 PM // 21:20

Ormiel you need to be patient. I just checked your map. There are other people ahead of you now.

When comparing maps remember the higher the resolution the easier it is to find the differences. What makes it easier to do it yourself is that you can actually see what is not uncovered instead of just seeing a circle somewhere in the area you need. You can switch back and forth from the map to the game and uncover the spots as you find them.
Sometimes when I am comparing a map I can not tell if it is a spot you need, the cloud covering getting in the way, just a play of the shadows or the difference in quality between the two maps.
After having done several maps then starting up the game and seeing my U map, I am always in awe of how clear it looks after looking at these blurry maps. I'm sure Livingston can agree with this one.

RTSFirebat · Feb 22, 2007, 11:54 PM // 23:54

tommarrow thank you so much. Thanks to you I got the title at long last. Thanks

cyber88 · Feb 23, 2007, 02:03 AM // 02:03
