StuntLandia Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 After seeing this, a lot of thoughts flew through my head: http://www.rsbandb.com/interactive_rune ... categories Do you think it is possible to make a RuneScape Google Earth, which doesn't show the map, but the actual runescape world? Like a satellite picture. If it is, will anyone be willing to help me getting all pieces of the world and put it together? Yea, Jagex have made something pretty close, but I want it in full quality, and there may be players running around on the map, so it really looks like a satellite picture (http://www.runescape.com/img/main/kbase ... cation.jpg) How the detail settings should be set: http://img219.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... nntzq7.jpg Please post your comments :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compfreak847 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Ehh... sounds like you'd have to match up lighting and other settings too perfectly, and one update by jagex could scrap the whole project. Qeltar does OK with it, but that's only for a small area.

StuntLandia Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Yea lighting and the angle might be a problem, and updates to the map won't be so good either. However you can switch the lighting effects off, and when jagex update something on the map, we can 'easily' update it by taking a new photo. I know it sounds like a very difficult project, but I think we should give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_bow80 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Im not saying its a bad idea... But whats wrong with the world map? Its fast and easy. And tbh, if someone made one i would look at it once, then never again. :? 99 Pics - Range, Defence, HP, Attack, Magic, Strength, Cooking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moad14 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 It'd be fun to look at once or twice, but it's not worth the effort it'd take to create it.

Slayr Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 it's entirely possible. the only thing you have to ask yourself is 'why'. This project would take a ton of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NukeMarine Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 viewtopic.php?f=180&t=551279 It's a post a made a couple of years ago. (not sure if the photo link works as my worksite blocks the image host). If it still loads, it's WAY, WAY, WAY out of date. I just pieced together the topographical maps from the knowledge base. It's not very useful, but I think it looks cool. And looking cool is half the battle.

Canineteeth Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 *raises hand* How exactly do we take the pictures? I dunno how to zoom out of my runescape character like the people who made the mini clip for the log-in screen. I could help with this, I got lots of time both irl and in runescape (bored).

NukeMarine Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I still don't know why Jagex has not released a "Satellite" view of the Runescape map. I really want to see what the world looks like with the HD rendering. As for the zooming, well, it's a matter of how much detail Jagex gives us. I'm for it (hopefully, the rendered maps also show monster spawn points).

magmaguard3 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Sounds cool, but I wouldn't have the time to help with it, and the only problem seems to be the amount of effort to make this work. :geek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miner52289 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 What I'm more interested in is getting a world map of the underground caverns and stuff. I already know exactly what the surface of RS looks like. But putting all the caves (ex. Slayer Cave, lumbridge swamp cave, etc.) all on one map instead of having to search for an individual one on Tip.It or anywhere else, that would be tight.

Jard_Y_Dooku Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 This could be done easily, but it would require breaking the RuneScape Terms and Conditions and a good knowledge of Java and reverse engineering. So don't bother. Never trust anyone. You are always alone, and betrayal is inevitable.Nothing is safe from the jaws of the decompiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer Cave, lumbridge swamp cave, etc.) all on one map instead of having to search for an individual one on Tip.It or anywhere else, that would be tight. We have started building a worldmap with an underground layer (plus an additional layer for non-locateable places) on our German runescape helpsite http://www.rscommunity.de/rune/map/mapplet.php you need to press the red "!" from the button menu to see the underground map. But building an underground map is not too easy, since the runescape underground world does not fit exactly at a all places. If you place one entry to a dungeon at the right place, then a second one might not fit with the main worldmap. .: Systemless :. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electrone0 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Ok, I just did varrock No, just kidding. Have you ever heard of area guides buddy? Jagex beat you to it! Go to RS home page>Game Guide> Manual> Area Guides and just pick cities and pick a city! How about GWD? All theyd have to do it expound on the image quality a little and presto. By the way, kudos to whoever made that ineractive map, its wonderful! EDIT: something's wrong with the image urls, heres the link to area guides http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewcategory.ws?cat_id=881 Winged Fish on a RWT complaint- There's four complaints on the whole site, one from a mother who was convinced by her son that the RWTers she was buying him items from were from Jagex (and then got scammed and is taking it out on Jagex), two people complaining about having their accounts taken away, and one ranting on the trade restrictions and wilderness removal. Now just change the background color and page layout, and you have the RSoF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
