Okay, made a few structural changes here and there, including things like removing fog so you can see waaaaaaay into the distance.

How to use
- Unzip and run.
- Select the Map Viewer tab (other tabs were going to be used for pXI related things but yeeeah, not anymore. They are now deprecated.)
- Select a map from the drop down list of area names (fully updated with Abyssea stuff, and fun test zones + train zone).
- WSAD for camera movement, click and hold mouse button for camera rotation.
- ???
- Profit!

There's options to adjust the movement speed of the camera, as well as the draw distance (well z far plane). Some graphics do not render correctly (e.g. some bits of terrain in Abyssea-Konschtat) but for the most part it's right on the money. No skybox yet though. You do not need pXI installed for this to work. You just need a FFXI install.

Whilst I'm on topic about FFXI and rendering and crap, do check out my app XI-UI on Windower forums which allows you to control the camera ingame, as well as adjust other UI things like 'wears off' messages. You should be able to use that if the map viewer isn't rendering this one bit you reaaaaally need.

oh my altana , thank you man :D

you just made it so I dont even have to log in to do this though rendering the map zone seems to lag ffxi lol I dont get it

[Tyramut]

Thanks so much for that, keg!

Almost done with the ship now. There's so much extra space that wasn't rendered in the actual BC though, I'd like to create an actual dungeon out of it, so i'm having fun creating the extra interior of the ship.

Having said that >.> Is anyone good with note blocks? It would be fucking balls if someone could make the rift to "Black Coffin" and have it repeat, compact as possible. Then make a tutorial for me :D



By which I mean have the first 5 secs of the song repeat, I've seen how big these note block constructions can get. It has to fit in the ship :D

pleassee!

[Chrian]

hey keysay wheres the map that the airship flys in.

lol
windurst would seem very easy now

[Viena]

Since you're interested, I'll dump in a draw distance slider and update all the zone names to make things easier for you then upload it. Only real pre-reqs are standard stuff (DirectX 9+, .NET). Controls are also pretty standard of map viewers (click and hold mouse to rotate, WSAD for movement)

It's good to know such a tool exists!

From what you're saying I'm understanding that you might have its source. If that were the case... would it be possible to add the option of exporting the map model in a simple but standard format?

It would be really interesting if XI -> 3d model -> minecraft schema was possible.

Requesting items I can not get normally.

chest of red mushroom blocks, from the giant mushroom
chest of brown mushroom blocks, from the giant mushroom
chest of sponges
chest of chain armor sets


Edit: (below post)
wanted the blocks for designs.

a chest of sponges and a chest of chainmail equipment of fire blocks so I can make some.
a chest of End Stone

For the red and brown mushroom blocks, there's no point in getting them, as it's the same deal as with silk touch mined version: when you place it it shows the inside face on all 6 sides, so there's no red or brown patterns on them. The ONLY way you can get said patterns into your designs is to grow them nearby then use pistons and sticky pistons to push them into place. have fun ^^/

sponges don't work either, sadly. I mean, if you want them for decoration only thats fine, but they won't absorb water like they used to.

And for chain armor, you could just request a chest of fire blocks instead, since that's how you craft the armor, using fire source (not lava) blocks in the typical armor patterns.

Noe i dont like this i am very scared now

now all they need to door is learn how to open a door

[Psion]

Jebs is adding the ability for zombies to break open doors in hardmode <_<; we're doomed lol

[Shini]

But Zombies are too stupid to do that!!! They shouldn't be able to!!

[Psion]

lol, you should see their new pathing AI then. it's a terror to behold in action. Someone even made two obstacle courses for them and wolves to show off the new pathing AI for them, and they both weaved around lava pits, pitfalls, 1 block high walls, a hole in the wall that was out of the direct distance to steve yet was required to reach him, and on the second one they had to climb some stairs, go around on a 1 block wide tightrope that went in a square around, then go through a narrow door at the end. <_< both performed flawlessly.

And if i recall correctly, if a door is in the way to them reaching you, they smash a wooden door down in 10 seconds. They also will do it if they happen to pick a place to wander to nearby at random and the door is in the way.

Sure, but that will take a bit more than a few hours, so I'll need some time on that (also uni work etc). I also would like to correct the errors in rendering certain flat textures (see Abyssea-Konschtat, Al'Taieu, any tree with leaves, few others) and add a skybox from the map file, but again all of this needs to be read/parsed/loaded/rendered from the DAT and as far as I know, there's no real information on map .DAT structures.

As for the airships, near the bottom of the list is the 4 airship zones (e.g. Bastok_Jeuno_Airship) but if you want GUNS and COOL STUFF you may be interested in the Omega/Ultima Airships which are in Sealion's Den (you spawn at them).

[Chrian]

looking at the zones really shows how se didnt even bother the use the mog house instance system for bcnms and whatnot.
cloisters at most have 3-4 "plots" essentially if you could force the game to render characters ina full zone you'd see other people fighting.
