Anore 2006 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2021 MAP ART RELEASE JANUARY 2021 After a long wait, we are finally ready to start allowing players to submit art to be implemented in-game. This will allow our community and staff to fill the world with more immersive art to add more life to our cities, events and the rest of the world. How Will it Work? 1. A Player can submit their art by creating a /wreq 2. Players send the art they want converted to world team member. 3. If the Map is approved, we will use Image Map 3 to convert image to map file. 4. The map file will be added to the server and given to player Costs and Limitations Each map costs 100 minas, players can have their image cover up to a 3x3 map portrait for a total cost of 900 minas. Players can make copies themselves for no additional costs. At launch we will only allow up to 3x3 maps, and only 5 images imported per players. Rules 1. Maps must be server appropriate and abide by our rules and standards. 2. Maps must be RP friendly. 3. All Map submissions must go through the approval process, even staff maps. FAQ Why is there a cost to import maps? The process is not instantaneous and takes time to review and import maps, the minas cost is to limit a large amount of maps being requested so that we can push out submissions in a timely manor. How does importing work? We will be using the program Image Map 3 to import image files sent to us and convert them into map_#.dat files that we can upload into the server. If you are interested in trying out the program and making sure your submission will easily import click the link above. Won't this create lag? While in large amounts in a small area, all entities can create lag, Llir and Nickrocky believe this will not have a noticeable impact on server lag, but may have some impact on client side frame rates. We have limited map sizes to 3x3 for now in order to make sure do not have entire rooms covered in map art. Will this be added as a VIP perk? As of now, we are not considering adding this to VIP perks. If the risk presents itself that the map art we have implemented is causing a noticeable impact on server performance, we would not have wanted players to have wasted their money on something that was canceled. What will be the turnaround to receive map art? At launch, depending on how many initial submissions there might be a small wait to get your maps, once we get going we hope for map turnaround to be less than 24 hours, though that is not set in stone. What about custom map art that has already made it onto the server? World Team Management is in the process of tracking down all world maps that were made (for personal or national use) prior to the system, logging them and ensuring they are paid for, or removed. I know this isn't some server changing update but I am excited to see the map filled with art and creating a more immersive environment. I know this system isn't perfect but we have an internal tracking system to keep track of all the maps in the world to ensure that if we do change or improve this system we will still have all the data. 55 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
