Just wondering if a client could distinguish between the different maps in rotation, also if it could would it be possible for a mod be produced which plots set way points on the mini map eg for the liches or at set coordinates.
Another question is could an image replace the mini map, (uncover whole map and insert image).
thanks

1. Can a client distinguish between the different maps in rotation?
2. Is it possible for a mod be produced which plots set way points on the mini map eg for the liches or at set coordinates.
3. Can an image replace the mini map?
1. No idea.
2. Yes, I guess. And it's a good idea.
3. Yes. Decompiling the client and adding an image over the minimap is nothing too hard.
Yes it's possible, you just need a full tile set of the maps. Any volunteers? Get a bot squadron to ****** the realms...
even if you didn't have the loaded maps, and the client could tell which map was required then ,plotting the location of the quests required to close a realm somehow, would be amazing, that would take a lot less time than uncovering a map, (could probably do by closing a small realm from the start, and i think there's abouut 17 maps in rotation)
from the wiki (may be out dated/wrong)"The world maps are generated every few months, and every time Oryx destroys the world one of the 20 maps is randomly chosen for the new world"
i dont know if they still replace them every few months, but i know for sure they rotate them.

I tried the demo that amitp had on his site and it created quite many unsuitable maps like these ones:
I think that might be true that they choose from generated maps the most suitable maps every month
I'm almost positive they do not generate new maps anymore. Exodus has a post on reddit where you can see one of the maps that has been in rotation since Robb/Alex were working on the game.
All of the events are randomly generated within certain spawn "zones" (again, this can be seen on Exodus' work) - so you'll most likely have to pin the maps by location of ocean/beach. You could also probably "guess" the spawn zones but the amount of data that would require manually collecting isn't really worth the time since there's no real benefit to it. The maps are huge, the likelihood of you "spawn camping" a Hermit successfully even if you knew one of the many places it can spawn is next to 0. Plus with /teleporting its kind of a useless hassle anyway.
Further, since the event spawn zones are random, the only thing this would really be good for is knowing where exactly godlands is. Thats it. Tons and tons and tons of work just to pinpoint godlands? No thanks. Just teleport to the biggest cluster of high level players and congrats, 9/10 times you just found godlands.
i know events spawn randomly , but i meant the quests, red demons ,ents ,liches etc ,would let you close realms fast and bypass the avatar covering the quests

Ah, I see. Then yes - I imagine you could eventually get it to recognize a map and overlay it to get what you want.
With that said I think if you want it done it is likely something you'll have to do yourself. That is a ridiculous, almost insane, amount of work for something so incredibly niche. Technically possible? Sure. Feasible for anyone with any sort of interest in their own sanity? Nope.
im not sure, i thought they were out dated but there's a rock dragon spawn in one of them.
Hmmmm.... I like the idea. It should be possible to enumerate the map fairly quickly with bots. The hard part is creating a system that will allow more than one person to take advantage of it without every person spamming bots to enumerate the map themselves.

I asked a friend with bots to help me out, got no direct answer. So, I'll be writing a realm relay script (once I can get realm relay working) that will log tiles and objects and build an entire map db, and eventually have all maps. Then just host the maps for others to use.
Do you know if all events spawn in random locations?
All I know about event spawns has already been iterated in this thread. There is no certainty that an event all spawn in a particular play given a particular map.
