Also, Koddy is not THAT helpful (smiley)
In the quant*ty that is, because Kod only maps those places that are best to exp, oh yes, that means Emerald Moon will be mapped too, thats in about half a year xD

Couldn't you have the maps... hmm... about twice their size? They're useful for new players but they would be easier to follow if they were a little bit moar big.

Yes but the files are .png-s. So you'd just pixel-zoom which is a bad zoom. If they'd have been .svg-s I wouldn't have commented.

That's not really true.

He has used pixels so they will not lose detail if zoomed linearly.

SVG is almost never the answer. It is so much harder to draw with SVG than raster(smiley)

Even making a coloured square is a chore in the likes of Illustrator or Inkscape.

EDIT:
By the way King Kod, I do have a map viewer on the admin panel. The thing is, I'm not sure it's good for exploration if every little map is screenshotted and joined together.

I don't mind your maps because they are useful but don't give away absolutely everything.

I could probably generate maps with a similar style to your own by reading the tileset data and colouring differently if:

- tile is not walkable
- tile has a door/event
- tile has npcs
- tile has a boss npc

Certainly worthy of discussion at a later date.
