Posted August 5, 2020 Is a community map of Melody still needed? If so, I'll set one up for everyone. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 6, 2020 A map would be great. Someone was talking about doing it pre-launch, but no comments since launch. That was probably also for Harmony. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 11, 2020 I can offer my web solution for the Melody map. It is the same tool used for Deliverance, Exodus and Celebration. All that's needed is a person who will take the role of "map manager", keeping the map up to date. I guess @Yldrania is willing to do that. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 12, 2020 Question, How does one take a census of the map to assure its accuracy of information? I thought this was done through a data dump annually by the devs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 12, 2020 I'll gladly set it up together with Yaga if I dont step on anyone's toes with it. I wouldnt want to take it away from someone else who is already working on it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought this was done through a data dump annually by the devs. Devs are not involved in community maps. Those maps are made and maintained by the player community - like almost anything in the world of Wurm Online. In the early days, when the "old" servers were still young, we did not have map dumps, not even the ingame maps we have today. The first community maps were drawn by hand, like this one from 2011: Later, we had ingame maps and official map dumps, which are now the basis of our modern community maps. Their content, however, is entirely managed by players. (See this map thread, for example: https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/168376-deliverance-community-map/ ) That said, please note that a map dump for Melody has not been published yet. This means, the map manager will have to use the current ingame map as a map background. Once the map dumps will be released (probably in a couple of months) the background map can be replaced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
