Few people have been asking how to make the maps- I use a client called Portal which has a Cartographer added in. This Cartographer allows you to make maps similar to these. www.GameAxle.comIf you are using this as your primary client you can import and export these maps. Hit me up if this is your goal I can get you the .tkm files. This allows you to actually follow your character in real time movements instead of just looking at the maps.

Hey AP,
I had a question about using hyperlinks inside the mud.
I was wondering if the mud would consider adding Hyperlinks to the website jedimud.com where a few images could be stored of zones.
Only zones i think this could be helpful for would be HOME TOWNS, and maybe a few newbie areas that you can teleport to. I would map these areas and give them to you guys.
Example: Help Midgaard Map -
((((MAKE THIS A HYPERLINK TO AN IMAGE OF TOWN))) --------------\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/----------------------- Midgaardmap "Midgaard Map"
Main points of interest in Midgaard =================================== Temple-Donation Room | | NW Temple Sq--N Temple Sq--NE Temple Sq | | | | | | Cryo Center---W Temple Sq---Central Sq---E Temple Sq--Grunting
---------------------- SIDE BAR, we could also make rooms like: INN, Bank, Baker, Cryo, Donation, Rug Shops, Magical Shops (Scrolls and Potions) and so on....
Be hyperlinks to the website which would explain what you can purchase, and how the items are to be used. --Regen, store your money, buy a boat so you can leave land, lights so you can see in the dark... Hold the light so it actually works, and so on.
I would be happy to assist with these site projects (not the mud code side)
----------Second Side note:
Help Areas, If people were willing to assist could we also either create hyperlink for the help areas list(s), or could we add information on areas like
Help Amusement Park - Example Help ----------------------------------------------- | The Amusement Park (Low to Mid Level Zone) | -----------------------------------------------
Welcome to the Amusement Park. Off to the North West you can see the great city of New Thalos. Here you can try your luck at the Gallery Champs pinball shoot, take a stroll through the eerie Haunted House, or wonder aimlessly through the hall of mirrors.
While you are here you should take a spin on the Carousel, bump your unsuspecting buddies ride at the Bumper Cars, or cash in those dollar bills for some quarters to play a few rounds at the Arcades.
Be warned the Amusement Park is not for the faint of heart. You should be ready for a fight on the drop of a dime. And one last thing, more than one curious child has wondered to close to the Carousel Gears never to be heard from again.
Have fun and be sure to put your trash in the trash cans.
-- Your friend, Three Tooth Willie.

I for one, appreciate the effort...although I only use a few alias' and remember most paths, this is a nice tool to have posted, as I play so infrequently anymore I don't remember everything. Forgot how the hell to get to antartica until I saw your map. Thanks )

I greatly appreciate the use of these maps and am eagerly awaiting more. It's great to see them and remember how to get places.

These are really awesome and I for one definitely appreciate all the effort and dedication in putting these wonderful tools out there for all of us. After a long 14 year hiatus from the game I for one certainly will be using them to relearn things again. Eagerly waiting for more – keep up the great work Boccob

Here is a MAP project I am hoping to start. If I can get assistance this project will stay public and the fruits of our labor will be available to all. If not... I will probably publish the maps again but only in image format and with restricted information.
***Important I am looking for a way to save these files to something like a cloud where several people can access them and provide updates as the project goes***
--Maybe AP can spare some space / access? After they can be integrated into the game? See bottom of post.
--------------
All maps like before will be provided to the public via images.
Below are some of the guidelines for the project.
1) A set list of rules for the maps will be created including: --a) Predefined room / link colors will be used world wide ------Example: Agro zones will colored on mob alignment –red,green,yellow --b) A set of icons will be created and used to determine landmarks ------Example: Banks will be Green with $, Portals , bridges, Temples, etc.
2) All zones will be linked together correctly so that if you are using the CMud Program you can import maps, and use follow mode and the client will move the maps and always show where you are.
3) Important zone information will be linked with a trigger at zone entrances which will prompt ***WARNING ZONE ON 30 Minute DT TIMER*** for example.
4) Zone mapping will adhere to the rules set forth by the mud at the time they are created. If rules are change after zones are created / maps provided it would not be subject to changes. They will already have been mapped.
5) Zones that are mapped or maps provided by players who used characters or means strictly in violation of the current game policies will not be accepted. (example if someone who was a demi+ provides a map of say Ant Hill that they did not map using a mortal char as I did that map / information will not be accepted as part of this project. –I will accept your word as truth unless I learn otherwise.
6) Zones will be fully mapped and verified before being published.
--I am considering a Cloud Type System to be used for this project while it is underway.
--I would also like to see JEDIMUD.com provide storage for image files of the zones // world once the project is completed.
--I would like to see URL links placed in game under the help files once the project is complete.
--I would like to see these images provided to the Wiki site.
************Expanded information will come soon, this is just the post to see if there is any interest in the project
Please respond with thoughts and ideas. If you think the idea is a P.O.S say so, feedback helps even if your beliefs suck ;D:-)

First of all, kudos to anybody who takes the time to map out a zone like that. Takes a lot of work, especially in zones with false exits.
Having said that, I don't think that the official site should host the files. Part of any game's novelty is the experience of figuring it out for oneself. What's the fun in exploring if you can just download a map and not "waste" that time? However, having the maps on a fan site, such as Dank's wiki, is a fine idea, because that requires the hypothetical newbie to decide to do more research and isn't thrust forward as an official how-to-win-easy-and-make-the-game-boring guide.
As far as sharing the maps with other collaborators, most cloud storage sites allow sharing at various levels: full sharing with specified people, and limited or read-only sharing with the general public. Dropbox is one such place; I'd also check out Google Drive and maybe SkyDrive (or whatever Microsoft is calling it these days). Don't go with iCloud.
Hope that info/opinion helps...

Okay all, after my system died lost all of the maps, and files used while working on this thread. If I sent you any files / maps shoot me an email at teddywisely@gmail.com and send them to me. I will love you long time. I have been able to recover around 35 maps missing most of the high end ones which were in a different folder which could not be recovered. Mainly looking for my[glow=red,2,300] Scipio, Universe, Hellas, Shaddow Rift(s), the UPDATED Starwars, Abyss, Seiged, The mapped guantlet(s), sesame St., dragon city, camelot, the colleges, artica, citadel, and cathedral.[/glow]I have uploaded the images i could recover to the Wikia page. jedimud.wikia.com/wiki/Special:NewFilesI am also still searching for a ( free preferable ) option for hosting files which can be edited by multiple people. If this can be found i would like to see a group effort equipment / sac list / mob information section. I think a help I crapped my pants informational would be great. Example - Ancient Fire Dragon - OH Sh.. I died here.... Information on how to recover gear - Get skilled thief with infra / detect invis can steal gear back from dragon.
