Bill,

Thanks for the check earlier. It brought me to 99.8% after visiting all the spots you circled.

You said higher resolution was better, so I kicked the graphics and resolution as high as the would go for this new map version. Let me know if that helped you or not. Again, I think I speak for everyone when I say "Thank you".

~Gaff

Edit: If you need the best map possible, give me clear instructions on how to make it of ease for you. At this point, I don't need to burn out a pair of eyes hand-checking 100%+ maps.

Mellik,

Two things, this is a Cantha map (this is the Elonian Explorers forum), and 92.2% is much to early to ask for a review. Take at look at the attached file and you will see why. There are many areas that seem to only have the minimum unfogged to get the mission in that area done. You have lots of wall-walking to do in this map.

Keep banging your nose into the walls...

Some areas on the island still needed. Check the attached and see if these will help.

IGN Draccor The Great Draccor,

The map you posted is at a non-standard size (1280x768) and so I can not review it. Resizing maps changes the proportions and makes my map review technique useless.

You map also displays the push-pins, icons and text for all of the locations. Holding the <SHIFT> key down while you hit Print-Screen and this will not be shown. Makes it impossible to do a complete review with that stuff obscuring the ground.

Please post maps at the Full_Screen resolutions of: 1680x1050 or 1280x1024 or 1024x768.

Well, I've finally caved. I've been map-checking myself, but cannot for the life of me find the last 1.1%. I'm at 98.9% and it's killing me!

The file is 1680x1050. If it needs to be retaken or anything, just let me know.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello guys,

I'm at a point where I'm getting increasingly frustrated as I'm stuck at 99.8% in Elona. I've paid for a map check via a guru service thread and I'm still unable to find the .2%. If someone would help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Well folks, good things must always come to a end. Its been fun checking maps for people, it has helped me find some missing spots on my own map. But with the new game/module coming on-line shortly I will be playing that.

Check Livingston's Guide on the first page of this thread, it has lots of good stuff, please check there for helpful hints.

See you all in-game. Good Luck

Cheers Bill you helped me no end as you can see



I finally got it, although i had to do abit more map checking my self using GIMP software method and then overlaped that map with the 100% COMPLETE map in Photoshop. Which made it more obvious where to check.

Hello Guys, i hope this might help you guys to check where u missed.

Here is my "scrapped the shit out of ELONA" map.

With help of each screenshot while u mapping & then Photoshop it together to main map. I will see the different.

Btw, it help alot & faster if u have dual monitor. One monitor use Guidwars game's map & the other jpg map. U can compare it side by side.

This is my version with "RED DOTS" where u can walked & where u cant.

Hope this helps & solves anyone problem.

I haven't read the entire thread so I'm not sure if it was mentioned before, but map 2 does not seem to be 100%

According to my map, it has 6-7 areas missing.

That being said, I am stuck at 99.7% at the moment

edit: 99.8 now
edit: 99.9
edit: yay 100%!

The blink tester method is great, gj guys.

However the maps are weird. When doing cantha I didn't have to zoom at all. For 1280x1024 I have to zoom the map to 110% at irfanview and its not exact... (irfan doesn't let you arbitrarily zoom)
