I haven't actually been able to find a texmod overlay for the paths previously, so I figured I'd make one...
Since there appears to be a lack of people forming PuGs to do this, as well as a lack of guilds grouping up to do these speed clears for their titles I figured I'd also share it here for anybody keen to jump on the MTSC bandwagon.

Essentially what you will see is the following:


For those not familiar with MTSC, your party will have two groups of Damage Dealers, Mains and Splitters.
Marked on the map in Red is the Main route. Splitters will generally follow the main route unless splitting on the Teal paths.
At the Teal route number 6, one person will generally ball the wardens and the rest of the team will prepare to kill them once they are nicely bunched up.
After this the entire team will follow the Main route 5 and loop around towards the Assassin and Warrior bosses.

The actual texmod overlay is available Here.

This thread was not designed to be a full tutorial on how to MTSC, but rather ease people into it by providing a guide for teams to follow with a few simple instructions.

Edit:

MQSC Paths:

Once loaded, the paths will look like this:


Made courtesy of the directions provided on the PvXwiki page on MQSC. Paths may or may not be current.

Teal marks the Yeti Route.
Lime marks the Wallow Route.
Red marks the Beach Route.
The Pink boxes represent Oni spawns. (At least the ones I've found by simply running through the area.. and Wiki states there are only 4 in total)

The texmod overlay is available Here.

I have not actually run MQSC so I am not sure whether these paths are still current... However they should still provide a general idea of where to run.

If any MQSC guilds could let me know if there are any inconsistencies, it would be much appreciated

Chest Running Overlays:


Once Loaded, the routes will appear like this:


Thanks to the GWGuru Chest Running community for providing Routes and Chest spawn data.

Chest locations are averaged, and display possible chest spawns.
Main Routes are coloured in Red.
Secondary/Alternative Routes are coloured in Pink.

The texmod overlay is available Here.

Using this mod in conjunction with the MTSC overlay is not recommended as it cuts off the top half of the main MTSC route.

Looks nice. Does it overlay only the "m" map as shown in the picture, or also the Radar and the "u" maps?

An overlay for MQSC would also be usefull if it has not already been made to show the paths and the hidden Oni spawns.

It overlays on both the [M] map as well as the [U] map.
(the picture i posted was actually from the [U] map, I just resized it and zoomed in a bit)

Yup. the paths and the Oni Spawns look to be correct on the MQSC run. Thanks for the fast work. Im sure they will be downloaded quite often.

Thanks for the confirmation, Hope more people will use these as there is still a lack of people doing these (from what I've seen).

If anyone's got any suggestions of other overlays that would be handy to have I could try and make some for those.
Or if anyone has any they'd like to post that would be fantastic as well!

I've always wished someone would make a compilation of the chest spawn map locations from the Chest Runners thread into a workable textmod! I think the whole community would appreciate it

Finished the Chest run Overlay compilation, however I am waiting for a response from the Chest Running Thread before uploading and posting it.

Well done Chocolate! Community will surely appreciate this.

WTB Speed clear overlays?(this maybe will be harder...)

Great idea, the only problem is that I am unfamiliar with most Speed Clears aside from the ones already posted.

First of all, THANK YOU!!!

Would it be possible to do the pathing for FoWSC, UWSC, and DoASC too? I think a lot of people would use these and I have yet to see them done.

I think Mr Chocolate just needs to liaise with someone gifted in the noble art of the speedclear. A few u-map downloads later and EVERYONE is happy.

Except the usual few who are never happy with anything, of course...

These are pretty neat. You should consider adding them to the player made list on the wiki here. Well done.
