A text script is simply a text file created in Word, Notepad, or whatever, that a program like AVISynth uses for its commands.

Just create the text file, copy and paste the commands provided below, and name the file whatever you want with the extension .avs

--------------------

a = ImageSource("insert location and full name of 100% map here",end=0).Subtitle("baseline")

b = ImageSource("insert location and full name of non-100% map here",end=0)

c = overlay(b,a,mode="difference")

a + b + c

--------------------

Ty very much Asrial for the info on the Avisynth/VirtualDubMod trick!

The differences in my Tyria map (96%) and the one you posted are a very clear pink pink showing me how badly I've scraped some areas. But also it's showed me where I've uncovered more than the one you've posted! (southwest area of The Wilds mission btw I saw it instantly because I did do a slow scrape of it today and wanted to check.)

I was wondering, the texmod mod you've linked to turns the map's covered areas all green and the 100% map uses the same mod (green for covered), it shows both areas that I've not got that the 100% map does pink AND areas I have that the 100% map does not (since there's some leeway at getting 100%).
Wouldn't it be better if the 100% used a similar mod but with a different fog colour like blue or red so that the 'difference' frame produced by this trick distinguished these areas? (one pink, the other type the 'difference' colour from the map and either red or blue or w/e)

It would certainly help me see the areas I need quicker but also let me see the areas of map I've uncovered more of and could post back to the cartographer to make their map EVEN MORE complete .

Nevertheless a great help, I think most aspiring GMCs should try this.

some programs don't like spaces in file paths. Move the files to c:\ and see if it works then.... I've got no xp with textmod so that's just a generic troubleshooting idea and probably not very helpful. Good luck

Agent Mold3r,

When I tried to do this it kept giving me some message about undefined variable. Even with the files in the root directory.

To fix this, Enter the script from Virtual Dub

Start Virtual Dub
Select Tools->Script Editor
Select Edit->Script Handling->AviSync
Enter the text avs. You can use Edit->Insert Filename for the file names
Select File->Save and Open as AVI

Hope it works


Now anyone have nightfall, that's the only one I'm close too...

What we all mean is that you should not have spaces here, e.g.:
Documents and Setting
(Plus it's spelled "Settings")
instead, put the 2 jpgs into the root of the C: drive aka c:\, and add.jpg to the filenames. Your text file looks like this then:

a = ImageSource("C:\perfect.jpg",end=0).Subtitle("base line")

b = ImageSource("C:\ya.jpg",end=0)

I hope that helps....

I love the method, but a map of Elona if anyone has would be even better

So after getting to 96% in Tyria, and almost to the point of ripping my hair out, I decide to have a wee look at this thread. Thanks to everyone for their tips and maps but an extra huge cookie goes to Asrial for that fantastic mapping method which as of today got me:



I had no idea how much I'd missed until I used that method! Thanks soooo much. I am now stress free enough to conquer Cantha

ok I guess I'm just dumb when it comes to this stuff.... I downloaded all the files recommended by Asrial, installed Aviynth, and extracted VirtualDubMod. I have my screen shots, but how do I make them all work together?

Edit: ok... nevermind. I figured it out...

Umm, Asrial...

...could you please host your 50% map of Elona anyway as a work-in-progress? I might just get lucky and find the missing 0.8% I need for Legendary Carto

{EDIT} - aha, the lady done good! See the updated maps here Within 2 hours of trying out this mod, I'd gone from 99.2% to 99.6%. GMC (and indeed LC) expected in another couple of hours or so. Thanks a lot, Asrial!

[Edit #2] - yup, three hours later and Elonian Grandmaster Cartographer. This is an awesomely useful mod that I'd recommend to anybody. One short of IVE and I haven't started to grind the EotN titles yet. I can smell the leather already ^^

On the VirtualDub the only load I can get is load processing settings. When I do that with my word file for the text script, it says "Parse error" I tried going to the script editor and it crashed.

Here is my text script in a word document called: whateveryouwant.avs (I just copied it off the site)
a = ImageSource("C:\Documents and Settings\Altena\My Documents\My Pictures\gw95",end=0).Subtitle(" baseline")

b = ImageSource("C:\Documents and Settings\Altena\My Documents\My Pictures\1024-Tyria",end=0)

c = overlay(b,a,mode="difference")

a + b + c

-Edit-
I don't know whether this is true, but I think the problem lies in that my full map also includes the GWEN map.

Alright, I got a problem. I have a widescreen monitor and it's max resolution is 1440 x 900 and it is impossible to find comparison maps for that. Could someone with a widescreen possibly donate a map so I can do the difference trick without problems? Thank you very much. ^^

Edit: nvm, I ended up finishing my title so I will give my map in its 1400 by 900 resolution just for those with widescreens who need mapping. Anyone can use this, no limits. Its a charity for having this site help me get my map finished. Now, onward to Cantha! ^^

Not sure about the newer continents, but I know you can hit 100% in Tyria without touching Hell's Precipice. And that's not including the removed arenas. So older toons have a huge amount of leeway there.

The leeway is probably somewhere between 101 and 102% for Tyria (excluding the old arena's and the ascalon/yak's arena).
Which is huge on the Tyrian map.
Sykoone mentioned not touching Hell's mission, I have a screenshot with the lower part of Lornar's still covered (it's in 'my' sticky on the Tyrian forum).

My experience tells me Cantha and Elona probably have slightly less leeway for foreign characters.

I'm currently working on Elona Grandmaster, and i'm stuck at 99.4% or so using texmod, I know the spots I have yet to explore, but what would give me 100%, I cant seem to unfog no matter what I do.
Was wondering if someone with Grandmaster for Elona could help me out in game and tell me how they got their title. Any help would be appreciated.

You're better off using Textmod and using that to compare maps ingame.
