Cartographers wanted!

We've got lots of players making some really interesting locations and even people banding together to making full grown villages of their own.

And I thought to myself, what we need, is someone to make a map!

Anyone feeling up to the task?? Probably be easier to do it area by area, rather than tackle the entire thing in one go. Maybe a few of you could band together in this most noble of tasks?

but where would these maps be posted so all could see thats the problem

why, the forum of course. Give it pride of place via a sticky on the images section?

ok yeah that would be awesome next time i set a protection and close to a village ill map it and give the map to you

I think it is a good idea but There will be alot of thing because it is a popular server and it has been online for a while now

Aye but we can just map the points of interest.

The spawn area, old city, new city, the biomes around the stargates, player towns and villages - rather than each and every building out in the wilderness

>:3 I really like this idea. I was planning on manually mapping it, but this works too.

manual or digital, the choice is yours

Here's a map of the area around water biome stargate. sorry the image is so big I'm not very computer savvy.[img][/img]

I'm working on mapping out some areas using Journeymap, here's the New City:


And the area just around the desert biome stargate:

Here's quite a bit of land around the forest biome spawn. Even went south to the north side of Forthwind.

mudhairless these maps are a great start awesome thank you

I've uploaded what I had done earlier to my host and put it in a google maps interface so it's easily browsed and what not:
mud.owlbox.net/starmine/index.html When I figure out the longitude/latitude stuff I'll put markers on the cities and spawn points.

mudhairless thats fantastic i like how you and summeer just jumped right in with the swing of things and are helping out as much as you guys are. your making maps and summer informs me on spots she thinks are greifed and turn out to be greifed. my hat is off to the both of you.

nice one mud, these are going to be of massive help

We just like doing what we can to help!
If I could help with the mapping, I would, but Muddy can only use it on his account, lol.
I could get the same plugin on mine, but it would be really hard to merge the finished images.
And nobody likes griefers, so I always try to keep an eye out.
After all, we're part of a community so we've all got to look out for each other, right?

Hey mud, something you might be able to make use of, if you have the latest journeymap, v.1.5, you can load more chunks at once with:

C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\journeyMap

Open journeyMap (properties file)
and the line that says:
chunk_offset=2
You can change that number up to max 10, although set to higher numbers obviously puts a larger load on your CPU, but....it does allow you to map much further around you

Hope this is of some help

Heres my mapping of the north (spawn bottom right)
>Click images for full versions<




And the night version, which I think looks particularly fantastic:

Is there any way to enlarge that, Peach? I can't see any details.

sure thing, lemmie link it to the proper full thing

EDIT: there you go, if you click the image now it takes you to a much larger version

Oh wow! Willowake looks huge in this. o-o

I've updated my north maps so they appear smaller on this site, but you can still click for a full sized version. Also added night time view

Peach this is amazing. :3 You do amazing work.

all the thanks has to go to mudhairless, without his initial work i would never have got this far

I've got a different link set up for the Google maps page @ maplib here: maplib.net/map.php?id=13922 This allows annotations so we can know where stuff is (have to register on site)
