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

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

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.

or

Hope that helps.

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

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.

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.

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

- 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.

Heej,

Very nice...lot´s of late hour work i think.

Some suggestions
1. Export function to create a list for posting on forum or website. Also handy for creating a list of to do for skill capping
2. Searching on boss names
3. Linking titles to character
4. Progress monitor on missions (masters/bonus) and creating to do list
Good luck with your thesis...

yours

this is an amazing thing!

one suggestion that might be nice to implement would be some checkbox for protector title with missions, nothing big, without maps or anything, just a list with checkboxes, i'd find it really useful..

sorry if it's been suggested before, had no time to browse through whole topic..

dids & vinegar,
amazing ideas. The checklist for protector title has been asked loud by many users and, after these other two requests, I MUST add it as soon as possible

By the way, I think I'm going to release a minor update in hours, just to point out I'm not disappeared!

AT LEAST I'm graduated... YUH UH! I can return to work on MappingOut

this is great, i just downloaded it and checked searing flames {E} and it came up with the three locations to swap between. This will make capping elites 10000 times easier then having to load up guild wiki, search for elite, then open map ><

THANKS ALOT AYLEE! i appreciate the effort

This. Program. Is. AMAZING.

My necro is a skill hunter, currently sitting at 226 elites, and I couldn't have gotten that far without this program. I love that I can check off the ones that I have and do not have. So much easier than looking through all the skills every time I want to cap, or writing them all down.

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! I open MappingOut every time I log on.

Is there anyway to track which greens you have gotten from drops? I'd like it to work like the elites skills do if possible.

Hi thunderai,
at the moment it's not possible to track which greens you have already gotten... I will place this idea on my very huge "todos" pile and try to add it as soon as possible...

To everyone,
as you could have seen I've been absent for a couple of weeks... well, actually I've still not came back at all! ghgh.
I started a new job in another city and I still haven't found an apartment. So, until I can't find a "new home" I will be very busy . But, I really wish to find it as soon as possible, so that I can keep back working MappingOut

May the Light shine on you all and... be patience... I'm coming back soon!
