I currently know that the Factions map isn't working under this. I've informed him 
And yes this has been scanned for viruses, keyloggers and downloaded by myself.

help me say: "nice work" to whoever created this =D
EternalTempest
Very nice program and very usefull.
Suggestion: make smaller "dot/mark" points on the map

I did reduce them in size but feared that if I did so any more you wouldn't be able to see the marks at a glance. I'll add the feature to the next version where you can adjust the size of the points.

Thanks for the comments, they're appreciated!

I'm happy you created this. Good Job thank you.
It might just be my computer but i can't save the notes or marks on my computer. It does it, then when I go to open the map it does'nt work.

It should work, I'll talk to you in pm or msn if you would like. The way the program saves a file should work on any computer. Does it create a file when you save or do nothing at all?
Matty
I had a look at program - there is a few things that could be done. There are two buttons on the save dialog, make sure you click the one that says save and not the one with a picture of a folder on it.
Just type the file name and not directory in the file name section on the save dialog. If you're still having problems leave me a pm.
If anyone else has the problem, I'd like to know, I think this is an isolated incident as all beta testers have been able to save and open files.

downloading now.....it looks real cool

Nice. Looks like I'll be trying out my first third-party soft.
MapMarkMatty
As MapMark has the ability to load custom maps, I thought I would explain how it all works:
To create a custom map you must:
1. Create a folder in the cmaps directory.
2. Create a custom map information file in the new directory. (Structure of file listed below)
3. Create a folder called 'map' in the new directory.
4. Place map image files in the map folder.
Naming of map pieces:
Map pieces should be named as following and should be 80 x 80.
Also, copies of each piece should be made that are 200x200 and have -2 at the end of filename, e.g. : mapxxx0001-2.jpg.
NOTE Replace xxx with anything you like.
Structure of the map information file:
It is a text file called mapinf.txt
The first line is the image height
The second line is the image width
The third line is the drawsize of the dots - the x coordinate - it is usually 30
The fourth line is the drawsize of the dots - the y coordinate - its usually 50
The fifth line is the xxx part of the map name (see above).
The sixth line is the height divided by 80
The seventh line is the width divded by 80
The eigthe line should always be 80.
An example file would be:
1280
1600
30
50
fac
19
15
80
I'm currently working on a map making program that makes making a map a point and click affair for the next release. However, I know there are some of you that like head starts. I tried to make this information as easy as possible but it is a complicated subject. If anyone wants some more help then just ask and I'll be glad to help.

MapMarkMatty
When you say selection box, do you mean the blue box that appears round the tiles? That's very unusual, so far I know of two bugs that work on some computers and not others. I will try and fix this as best I can for you and release an update soon.
Coverticus
Great job, very handy tool - re the Cantha/Factions map problem, the maps are actually in the root of the install directory - just copy all the "mapfac" jpgs into the map folder and the application will then work for this map.
Inde
All right, and new upload coming today with the Factions map.
Zombo
does it contain spywares?
Tuor Son Of Huor
is the map revealed a 100% explored map? im d/ling now, but it looks like there is an area of dunes of despair missing

great program. I wish the map and preview window were a lot larger, but other than that it is great.

don't mean to be nit picking as I actually really like this program and will use it a lot.
thomasnl88
It isnt working for me yet... There hasn't been any update for so far. Any Idea when its comming?
Gonzo
Haven't tried it yet I'm at work now, and I don't think this will work on a mac. But when I was reading about this, the following came up to me (don't know if it's already a feature, since I haven't tried it yet):
Wouldn't it be nice if the mark's you make on a map can be shared with others. That way you can get a complete map very fast.

As it is I can barely see anything on the map. Also, many of the map names get cut off in the preview window making it near impossible to read. For example, The Jade Quarry (Luxon) is actually split into 4 preview windows.

. The map files you save can be given to anyone and opened in their program. Maybe some people could get together and produce a map as a group?It won't work on a mac no, I didn't know that guild wars worked on a mac hence why I didn't code it to work on a Mac. If many people would like a Mac version I'll look into it all.

Thanks everyone for your comments I really appreciate it and can't wait to make this program the best it can be. However, there are a few things that cannot be done. The interface is already maximised to give you the biggest view of the map you can get, you can always hide the interface to view the map. I'll work on a fullscreen option too.

Here is a screen shot of mapmark at my resolution. As you can see, I have plenty of screen real estate to accomodate a larger preview window.
MapMarkMatty
You seem to understand the program so I'll describe in technical terms my plans . The resolution of the basic map is the way it is to make sure it can load on all computers also the image buffer I use has issues with very large dimensions and this is hard coded and cannot be changed.
What I tried to do was add a zoom so that were the mouse was, it zoomed in, but this produced pixelated images as its zooming from the actual image. I wanted this approach to work as it means I would HUGELY downsize the file size as I wouldnt need two image resolutions. You can see the preview files have extension -2
BUT
I would like to thank you as you got me thinking about the method I'm using to draw the map and it turns out I can make the whole map zoomable which means I only need one high resolution image and downsize from there!.
I'll put your name in the program for your help

that sounds very interesting. I look foward to seeing how it turns out.
MapMarkMatty
Just to let you know that I'm not dead....I've been very busy on the latest version which is a complete overhaul. I still need to reprogram the loading and saving routine but apart from that it's nearly done....stay stuned for an update within the next week.
kaya
good deal! kudos ahead of time!
Puzzle
Wow this looks REALLY great! I can't use it though! I tried downloading it, but I get error 1335 - Data1.cab is corrupt. I tried downloading it again, but I still get the same error. Also, the install says that its installing version 1.0?
I've looked for an earlier release, but it seems that its not available anywhere else

I'm only on a mac cause I work in the graphic industry and this is the best machine to that purpose. At home I have my Windows PC for gaming 
Edit: I downloaded the program and I really like it, haven't been doing anything with it (making maps and whatnot) because I've been rather busy lately, but good work!

hi ,
does anyone use the mapmarker program if so im having a small problem i need advise on.
problem:
when saving a marked place on the factions map the file is in a mmf.format to which my computer doesnt recognise, so im unable to open it up as the computer doesnt see it?
the mapmarker program doesnt allow a choice of file format to save as so any ideas please?

Doomlord_Slayermann
I'm going to hazard a guess and say that the file is only recongnized by the mapmarker program. This is probably in the wrong forum, BTW.
ZennZero
I dobut you will see a lot of support for a third party product on this forum.
For the record, anytime you need to change what program opens a file with a given extension, you can right click the file (or shift-right click if it is already associated with something) and select "open with".
Choose the program you want to open the file with (may have to browse for it) and if you want to make this extension always open with that program, check the box at the bottom.
Hope that helps.

Nice program but can't get it to work worth a darn.
1st. I can't open any of my map notes period. I've used the file - save notes and i've even tried the floppy icon to save them which they are saved as a .mmf file. The only problem is that when i go to open the saved notes i can't even see the file using the open notes icon. I really can't see any files at all in the folder that i've stored it under. I can go to windows explorer and see it but i can't see it thru your program.
2nd. The update ever works at all. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it never gets passed the Connection Established. It just sits there and sits there. What the heck is going on..
