Hello, you may or may not remember
my map of Hossin facilities . I mentioned that I'll release my tool
(if you want the source - don't. It's really, really ugly.) - sorry for the delay, but I wanted to finish up some features ;]
It is now available on
http://token.homelinux.com:81/pub/ma...!/planetstatus (quite ugly and
very slow, sorry for that (I'll optimize later). and tested only under firefox)
Here's some features and explanations:
- Based on PlanetSide 2 Players' Site (thanks SOE!)
- You can select a map from a wide selection of versions - basically depending on when I extracted which file ;]
- There's loads of circles and rectangles - their properties (along with an ID, and a radius for spheres) is displayed when you hover over the border (some may have multiple properties, or none):
- RandFX is RandomEffects, CompFX is Composite Effects (both are all kind of effects particles, lights, stuffz),
- Sound is SoundEmitter (including the Easter Egg roars in the mountains!)
- ObjTerrData is ObjectTerrainData, or biomes (such as indoor, indar_ocean, ...), basically sets the sky settings (and sun, and fog) and whatever else is biome-related
- dashed lines are Jump Pads, the sequence long-med-short dash shows the direction.
- Exclusive, Interaction - I have no idea what those are. not enough data yet
- Death - well, guess.
- Height is NOT included (duh), so huge Death zones could be the water, from a certain level
- Radii for spheres and domes could be messed up. I'm not sure what could I compare them to
Some interesting observations so far:
- There is some sort of WarpGate FX in the middle of Hossin!
- Umm.. anything else? :P
If you have any suggestions or feature requests, please do not hesitate to post them, either here or in a PM ;]
Huge thanks to Sir_Kane, RoyAwesome and other users of a certain, top secret IRC channel , and of course to SOE, for the awesome game!
